and is the current Driver Orientation Manager for the Trans Am Series. The guidelines were created by Randy and Terry based on decades of racing experience and driver coaching. The guidelines represent what the Club Road Racing Program’s intent is for General Competition Rules Section 6.11., Rules of the Road. 1. Racing Room & Passing Guidelines Safe, successful passing is based on what drivers can see. An overtaking car bears the largest percentage of responsibly for passing safely. 2. Peripheral Vision The overtaking car (the car attempting a pass) must get into the peripheral vision of the lead car (the car being passed) in the brake zone before the lead car turns for the corner. Once the lead car turns for the corner, it can no longer see the trailing car, because the lead car’s mirrors now point outside, and the lead car is looking toward the apex. Figure 1 Figure 1 shows that the overtaking car has gotten up to the A pillar and into the peripheral view of the lead car before turn in. The overtaking car now has taken the line away and earned the right to racing room on the inside. To earn the corner, the overtaking car must have its front end up to at least the A pillar post, or windshield, with the car under control, before the lead car turns into the corner. The goal is for the overtaking car to present itself, to arrive in the peripheral vision of the lead car, before it turns in. Open Wheel and Sports Racer Overlap An overtaking open‐wheel car or sports racer should have its leading edge of the front tire up to at least the lead car’s trailing edge of the front tire (within the leading car peripheral vision) before the lead car begins its turn in (Figure 2). The bodywork configuration of many new formula and sports racer prototypes almost encapsulate the driver from view by other drivers. That is why it is important to get the overtaking car that far up into the lead car’s peripheral vision. Figure 2 3. The Blind Spot Figure 3 Figure 3 shows at the lead car’s turn in point the overtaking car has yet to get even with the A pillar and into the peripheral vision of the lead car. The overtaking car is in a blind spot. Do not pass unless the lead car is much slower and gives racing room. 4. Racing Room Should the lead car decide to ‘go with him’, side‐by‐side, then both cars must allow each other racing room, at least a car width plus six inches or so, to the edges of the racing surface. In both cases, the trailing car must be in the lead car’s peripheral vision to safely hold position. If not in vision, then the trailing car must back off and follow, because the lead car cannot see it. The biggest mistake, and a common cause of contact, is the overtaking car taking a shortcut to the apex, from that blind spot (Turn One at Road Atlanta is classic). Pull parallel to the lead car, and as close as safely possible so that he KNOWS you are there. Sometimes, the lead car may turn in early; therefore, the overtaking car must be under enough control to avoid contact. 5. Passing on Straights On straights, the lead car is allowed “one safe move” (Figure 4). It can choose a side, but cannot move back, and cannot move over in reaction to an overtaking car if late enough to invite contact. It must leave a car’s width (plus 6 inches) of racing room if the overtaking car has already committed in that direction and has achieved an overlap next to the leader. No weaving to break the draft or to block; that is more than one move. On straights, as opposed to corner entry, it is possible for the lead car to look into its mirrors and see the overtaking car, so if the overtaking car gets even a small overlap next to the lead car, the lead car must give the overtaking car room to race, and can no longer move across the track. Figure 4 When being passed, hold your line. This means be predictable, and do not change your line to pull out of the way. ‘Hold your line’ does not mean take the line for the apex and turn in front when a much faster car is approaching. Be aware of faster traffic and leave a lane of racing room for them. 6. Overlap on Straights at Turn In If there is continuous overlap (Figure 5) next to the lead car when the turn in point is reached, the lead car must give the trailing car room to race. The lead car can no longer move completely down to the apex. It is not ok to cut across to the apex and likely into the trailing car’s nose. The car was there all the way down the straight and it is not going to suddenly disappear. There now is shared responsibility to avoid contact between the cars. Figure 5 7. The Vortex of Danger The Entry Vortex of Danger (Figure 6) is a triangle inscribed by the turn‐in point of the lead car, the apex, and the inside edge of the road. Trailing car, do not take a short cut to the apex. If you do, chances are the lead car does not see you. When overtaking, keep out of the Vortex of Danger. It is too late to pass. The hole you see is closing rapidly, you are in a blind spot, there will likely be contact, and it will be your fault. Figure 6 The Exit Vortex of Danger (Figure 7) is a triangle inscribed by the apex, the track‐out point of the lead car, and the outside edge of the road. When attempting a pass on the outside, be aware of the Exit Vortex of Danger, and back out of it if not in the lead car’s vision. It is too late to safely pass. The hole you see on the outside is closing rapidly, you are in a blind spot, there will likely be contact, and it will be your fault. Figure 7 8. The Outside Pass Figure 8 On this outside pass attempt (Figure 8), the overtaking outside car never presents itself into the vision of the lead car and cannot expect it to make room for a car it cannot see at the exit of the turn. So, the outside trailing car must back off to leave racing room for the inside lead car that cannot see it and avoid the Exit Vortex of Danger. In this situation, if the outside car makes contact or runs off the road, it is most likely their fault. Turn 5 at Road America is a prime example of where a lead car may protect his line by not using all the track on the right. The overtaking car, in this example, needs to clearly 'present himself' in the braking zone before turn in, because the lead car is looking into the corner, not at his right mirror, and in all probability will not leave racing room at the exit. Outside passing works well when both drivers have excellent spatial awareness but is a very low percentage move in most cases. Safe, successful passing depends on what a driver can see. Do not hit what you can see!

Results of camber camber surveys.
#37997 from Touring Committee · Recommended to the Board · Minutes (2025-05 Fastrack)
The Touring Committee has surveyed the active membership regarding the proposal to change the camber limit in T2, T3 and T4. The original rule, setting the limit to 3.5 degrees, has been in effect as the classes evolved. As time goes on and production cars has become more complex, the average operating life of Touring cars has increased. Members are building cars and expecting them to last 10 years or more. The TAC believes that the 3.5-degree camber limit, much like bolt in roll cages, should be a thing of the past. Survey Results- The survey was a simple, containing 1 question: “Are you in favor or removing the camber limits in T2, T3 and T4? Yes or No.” There were 130 respondents. A majority of respondents (73.85%, 96 people) were in favor of removing the limit. A minority of

respondents (26.15%, 34 people) were not in favor of removing the limit. There were a variety of comments. Detractors mentioned; rules creep, performance parts cost, and effects to BOP. Proponents mentioned; increased tire life, and decreased long-term operating expense. With inaccuracies in tech, many members have expressed frustration with the buffer they needed to feel safe at tech inspection. Interpretation- By removing the camber limit, racers can find an optimal setting that prolongs the life cycle of the most expensive wear item on the car, the tires. In many cases, this optimal setting may be only a few tenths off of 3.5 degrees. The Touring rules already allow various means to achieve camber, including; eccentric bushings, eccentric bolts, slotted top hats, shims, and adjustable toe links. Some cars have individual spec line allowances if camber cannot be achieved. It is the intention of the Touring Committee to launch the new rule as of January 1, 2026. This provides ample time for members to request spec line allowances to adapt to the change. Remember, current camber-related allowances tend to be the most affordable and basic options available. Future allowances would follow this trend. In GCR, Section 9.1.9.2.D.5.a. Suspension Adjustments, change as follows: "1. T2-T4: (Effective 01/01/2026) A maximum of 3.5 degrees of negative camber is allowed on front and rear suspensions. Spec line part(s) may not be modified to increase caster and camber. Strut suspensions may adjust camber and caster by the use of eccentric bushings, eccentric bolts (crash bolts) at the strut-to-spindle, and/or by use of slotted adjustment plates at the top of the strut mounting plate. If upper strut slotted adjustment plates are used, they shall be located on existing chassis structure, utilizing the unmodified manufacturer’s original bolt holes and may not serve as reinforcement for that structure. Slotted adjustment plates (strut camber plates) may incorporate a single spherical bearing (spherical bushing) and a ball thrust bearing per strut tower. On other forms of suspension, camber and caster adjustment may be achieved by the use of shims and/or eccentric bushings. Adjustable toe links with spherical bearings are permitted and may serve no purpose other than adjusting toe angle. Spherical bearings/bushings are not permitted in T2-T4 except for the specific examples listed in the class rules or vehicle spec line.”

T3-4 Class Creep
#37551 from Ben Slechta · No action required · Minutes (2025-02 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The committee agrees that we'd like to keep creep to a minimum. Recent changes have been made to the category rules that we hope will decrease operating costs or improve safety. Recent changes to improve cooling are intended to improve engine longevity. The caliper allowance was intended to target T2 and T3 cars that did not have a performance caliper allowance. Most contenders already had some variation of a race-quality caliper on their spec line. We felt it important to offer that safety and durability to the remaining spec lines. Over time, 4 piston options have decreased in lieu of 6-piston offerings. By making it a category rule, we won't be burdened by discontinued or unavailable parts moving forward. There are two topics that could be regarded as "creep" that we are currently working on. We have been asked to consider 1) removing the camber limit rule, and 2)allowing adjusters on shocks in T4. We requested surveys be sent to members

Removal of Steering Wheel Locks Not Required in Touring
#36856 from Robert Maples · No action required · Minutes (2024-12 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. In many modern Touring cars, deactivating the steering wheel lock isn't as easy as it was in the old days. Many cars will have electronic safety systems that will not allow the car to operate unless all parts of the steering wheel lock operates exactly as designed. Naturally, there is nothing preventing you from deactivating your own. Given the redundant safety features in many modern cars, we feel that the risk of failure is very low.

Wheel Size Limitations on Subarus
#35681 from Logan Barbe-Wilson · No action required · Minutes (2024-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. When a car is classed, the wheel diameter and width is based on the wheels that came OE on the base model of the car. In some cases, when a car has proven to be competitive on the wheel spec, it is pretty much set in stone. If a car hasn't been proven to be competitive, the committee is receptive to changing the size. Keep in mind, usually wheel and tire sizes are maximums.

Non-OEM ABS in T2/T3
#35175 from Derek Chan · Not recommended · Minutes (2024-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The 350Z has been racing in the SCCA for 15 years. There have been numerous national championships won with the 350Z in this time. Kulach, Hines, Stout, Williams, and others have had great success with these cars. The knowledge to make these cars work properly is out there. We are sympathetic about your concerns, but we're afraid to open Pandora's box. Racing ABS adds complexity and cost that shouldn't be incurred in T3.

Honda S2000 2.2L Weight
#34823 from John Wilson · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-10 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. We'd like to clarify some of the data you presented. The 2.2 liter S2000 hasn't been left unaided since 2010. It is ~145 lbs lighter, and it has been allowed 750 lb springs. After the car was raced at the 2021 Runoffs at Indianapolis, we removed a 60mm FPR that was on the car. We have not seen data on the car since that race. We appreciate the work that you put into your power:weight analysis. The problem is that you use published OE HP for class front runners. All of these cars run with TIRs or FPRs, drastically reducing their actual power. In the end BOP is based on actual race acceleration and handling data. Please bring the car out to a HST or Majors event where data is collected so we can have proper data to work with.
Three inch Ride Height in T3?
#34729 from Scotty B White · No action required · Minutes (2023-10 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. When conforming to the touring category rules, the Solstice rides too high. Suspension geometry is too far off and fender clearance is too high. This issue is unique to the Solstice. This ride height allowance has been in effect for the T4 Solstice for a few years without issue. It makes sense to extend the allowance to other Solstice spec lines. Once data is collected at this height, it will be the basis for the car's BOP.
Spec E46 Policing
#34683 from Steve Davis · No action required · Minutes (2023-09 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Any car conforming to the Spec E46 spec line is welcome in T3. The inclusion of these cars were a large factor in rejuvenating T3 in the past 7 years. It races well in T3, and is competitive.

BMW E36 non-M
#34420 from Mike Breen · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-09 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. We have had requests for the SE36. We feel that the car won't compete in T3. We also believe that the car is too old to be a new classification in the touring classes. We suggest looking into IT or ST.
Upgraded oil pumps
#34418 from Ryan Szyjakowski · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-09 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The members of the TAC are confident that the list of modifications that you presented are not necessary to compete in Touring. The intent of Touring is to allow competition in lightly modified cars. If you wish to compete with those upgrades, please explore STU.

Audi S4 (B8-8.5) Brake Disc Clarification
#34131 from Brian Leib · No action required · Minutes (2023-08 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The spec line specs are the basic allowances for the car. If there is an additional option in the notes, that option supersedes the specs in the spec line. In your case, the "Brembo brake kit part number 3K2.8032A" may be run in its entirety, including the 355 mm rotors.
BMW 320i Intercooler Clarification
#34220 from chi ho · No action required · Minutes (2023-06 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. In letter number 33762, you requested an aftermarket intercooler for the 320i T3 and T4. An intercooler of this type has never been allowed in T4 and would set an unwanted precedent. Aftermarket intercoolers are common allowances in T3. We feel that the 320i is a better fit in T3 and would be more reliable there.
1995 M3 Not Formally Recognized in the GCR for T3
#34183 from Jacob Williams · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-06 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The touring committee does not wish to change the existing 1996 M3 spec line. The touring classes require the cars to compete with specified motors. Classing the 1995 with the 1996 would contradict the engine specs. 1995 is also older than we like to see in the touring classes. We suggest that you consider STU (Super Touring Under). In that class, the 1995 M3 can compete, and it isn't required to use the original engine.

#33673 from Marty Grand · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-04 Fastrack)

Camber Thoughts
#33380 from Derek Kulach · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-02 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Recent parts allowances should improve the reliability of the camper adjustments on certain cars. The current rules for touring allow 3.5 degrees and the appropriate parts to achieve it. If we remove the camber limit, we'd start a situation where more and more suspension allowances would be needed. In that scenario, suspension parts would become BOP adjustments.
OEM Headlights
#33369 from Harley Kaplan · Not recommended · Minutes (2023-02 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. We do not recommend allowing headlights to be removed. We suggest sourcing aftermarket alternative headlights that are similar in appearance. Having headlights is at the core of showroom-based racing. Allowing one car to remove their headlights would start a wave of similar requests.

Spec Car Inclusion In Class
#33339 from Richard Kulach · No action required · Minutes (2023-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The Spec Boxster and Spec E46 spec lines were added to T3 to encourage those cars to cross over from other series. For this to work, we need to ensure that our spec line mirrors their rules exactly. Maintaining a GCR spec line in this manner would be time consuming and prone to errors. That is why we opt to reference their rules and review them periodically. For your reference, we have attached links to their 2022 rules.

Strut suspensions may adjust camber and caster by the use of eccentric bushings, eccentric bolts (crash bolts) at the strut-to-spindle, and/or by use of slotted adjustment plates at the top of the strut mounting plate. If upper strut slotted adjustment plates are used, they shall be located on existing chassis structure, utilizing the unmodified manufacturer’s original bolt holes and may not serve as reinforcement for that structure. Slotted adjustment plates (strut camber plates) may incorporate a single spherical bearing (spherical bushing) and a ball thrust bearing per strut tower. On other forms of suspension, camber and caster adjustment may be achieved by the use of shims and/or eccentric bushings.

Request to Allow the Use of Aftermarket ECU's in Touring
#31067 from Harley Kaplan · Member feedback requested · Minutes (2022-02 Fastrack)
The use of Performance Alternative ECUs is being considered in Touring. As time goes on, it is becoming harder and harder to overcome or modify the programming that comes in modern cars. To combat this, the TAC is considering allowing the use of aftermarket ECUs in one of 2 ways: 1-On a case-by-case basis- Problematic cars could be given an ECU allowance on the spec line. This would give us the ability to adjust parity by adjusting the spec line. 2-As a category rule with a penalty- We could allow aftermarket ECUs on all Touring cars with an appropriate penalty for choosing to use it.
Car Classification
#31036 from Dom Golia · No action required · Minutes (2022-02 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. We suggest choosing the smaller engine option, without the supercharger. The car would fit nicely in T3 with some performance allowances. If you're interested in that path, please provide a letter with the proper VTS sheets so we can create a spec line.
Request for T3/SPB Reclassification
#30980 from Glen Morris · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-02 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. When comparing race results, it looks like the Spec Boxster is faster than T4. There are also some allowances that don't fit with our definition of T4: Flywheels, lighter batteries, accusump, adjustable shocks, no ride height limit, 8.5" wide wheels, etc. Because of this, the TAC has favored leaving it in T3 and allowing items like better tires to speed it up.

Thank you for your letter. The 1995 has a smaller displacement than the 1996. The spec line that you're referring to actually exists to allow a BMWCCA class in our T3 class. It isn't a spec line that we can alter. That said, the 1995 is too old to be added to the Touring category. Many of these cars find a home in STU or one of the IT classes.

Weight adder for pro cages in touring
#26359 from Touring Committee · Member feedback requested · Minutes (2019-08 Fastrack)
Please submit the following What Do You Think for member feedback: The Club Racing Board and Touring Advisory Committee are considering a Touring category rules change to allow roll cages with additional chassis attachment points. This would be accomplished by specifying a minimum number of attachment points only. Currently T2 is limited to a maximum of 12 chassis attachment points and T3-T4 are limited to 8 attachment points. Many, if not most, other sanctioning bodies specify a minimum number of attachment points only. This limits cross participation with touring. A concept under consideration is to phase in minimum attachment point cages for T2 and T3. Starting in
Show 7 more lines
2020 cars exceeding the current number of attachment points will be legal with a weight penalty of 1.5% to the base weight of the car. Data can be collected and, if appropriate, the weight penalty can be adjusted to correct the BoP. Starting in 2021 the weight penalty can be removed, and the rules rewritten to specify a minimum number of attachment points. Please share your opinion on a Touring category rule change for additional chassis/cage attachment points in T2/T3 at crbscca.com.
