FC Spec Tire Grooving Clarification
#39746 from Paul MacFarlane · Not recommended · Minutes (2026-03 Fastrack)
The Road Racing Competition Committee does not recommend this change. GCR section 1.2.3.C.2 states that "Specific class rules
in the Category Section of the GCR shall take precedence over . . . the General Technical Specifications" (such as section
9.3.47). The FC rules state the following in section 9.1.1.B.1.d: "Formula F and Formula Continental are restricted classes.
Therefore, any allowable modifications, changes, or additions are as stated herein. There are no exceptions. IF IN DOUBT,
DON'T." The requirements for FC spec tires are provided in sections 9.1.1.B.10.g and 9.1.1.B.10.h, and these rules do not
authorize modifications or changes. The RRCC does not believe it is in the best interests of the class to authorize modifications or
changes to spec tires.
