Fan Shroud Rule
#40249 from Brian Farnham · No action required · Minutes (2026-09 Fastrack)
The Road Racing Competition Committee appreciates your letter regarding whether the Formula Vee fan shroud rule is still in
effect and how it is to be checked. GCR section 9.1.1.C.9.C states as follows: "The rear bodywork must have the ability to enclose
the original Volkswagen fan shroud mounted in its stock location (see illustration in Section C.12)." The fan shroud rule therefore
is still in effect, and the rule indicates how it is checked. When checked at events, a fan shroud from a 36 or 40 HP engine is
appropriately placed onto the Formula Vee engine and the bodywork must fit over the shroud. A template produced to fit
outside the body to test for compliance is not an approved method under the rule.
