Appendix P. Racing Room & Passing Guidelines
Revised January 2022
The Club Road Racing Program sincerely thanks Randy Pobst and Terry Earwood for developing these
guidelines defining racing room and passing etiquette. Randy Pobst is a SCCA Hall of Fame member, a National
Road Racing and Solo Champion, professional driver champion, and a very experienced driver’s coach. Terry
Earwood is a legendary Skip Barber driver instructor, professional driver champion, professional driver’s coach,
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!

The Runoffs are the primary focus of the committees. It is the event that provides the best data and it is the only race involved
in crowning the national champion. Mid-season BOP is overshadowed by the goal of achieving parity by the Runoffs. In 2024,
the T4 RX8 claimed the top 7 grid positions in a 15 car field. The TAC and CRB were confident that, even if minor, something had
to be done to encourage participation from other spec lines. The committee does not feel that it would be appropriate to put
the RX8 back in such a dominant position.
#39200 from Barry Borgschatz Jr · Not recommended · Minutes (2026-02 Fastrack)
The rules currently require a cross-dash bar in T3 and T2. It is an option in T4. Making it a requirement would be a severe
hinderance to T4 cars that don't have one currently.

#39449 from Chris Giles · No action required · Minutes (2026-01 Fastrack)
The RX8 is currently the performance target for T4. The car was dominant in 2024 and very competitive in 2025, aside from the
3.7 liter Mustang. The Mustang was an exact replica of the one that has been in the class from its inception, aside from the
engine and that was restricted by 7mm or 11.66% (in area) since the Runoffs. It is now the smallest FPR in the class by
12mm. The TAC doesn't believe it is a threat at this time. Changes were made to the MX5 that will allow some cars to lose 100
lbs. All changes, aside from the Mustang, were made to bring other cars in-line with the RX-8. Taking weight out of the RX8 at
this point is counterproductive to BOP efforts.
#39414 from Tony Kiratsous · Not recommended · Minutes (2026-01 Fastrack)
We have collected a large amount of data on these cars as they competed over the past few years. Most recently, we reviewed

We appreciate your perspective and feedback. The Mustang in question has been changed. The T4 SPB spec line is very true to the

#37394 from Oscar Jackson · Not recommended · Minutes (2025-06 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The S2000 is capable of competing in T3.
#38077 from Touring Committee · Recommended to the Board · Minutes (2025-05 Fastrack)
The Touring Committee recently sent out a survey to active Touring 4 participants regarding the proposal to remove the “non-
adjustable” shock requirement in Touring 4. The survey asked one question; “Are you in favor of allowing non-remote reservoir,
adjustable shocks in Touring 4”. The intent of the rule was to keep cost and complexity low. Over time, the rule has had the
opposite effect.
Survey Results-
Responses to the survey were in favor of removing the non-adjustable’ requirement. Of the 64 responses, 43 people (67%)
selected “Yes”, while 21 people (33%) selected “No”. There were 24 comments. Proponents mentioned increased availability
and options, decreased development costs, and a better ability to compete with teams with bigger budgets. Detractors cited
rules creep, cost to convert what they currently have, as well as unspecified “costs”.
The TAC’s interpretation of the results-
For the budget racer, the “non-adjustable” requirement severely limits available off-the-shelf (OTS) options. Commonly, custom
shock hats and spring perches are needed to make a compliant shock work, adding to the expense. With the proposed change,
budget racers should be able to buy a readily available OTS coilover kit, complete with top hats and spring perches. With some
compliant springs, they’re ready to race.
Currently, the ultra-competitive T4 racers have been using custom made shocks or OTS shocks that were upgraded with custom
internals. In these cases, the car was built with adjustable shocks, adjustments were perfected, then the adjusters were
removed by a suspension shop. In this case, the “non-adjustable” requirement adds steps in the development process, adding
to the cost and complexity. If you currently have access to custom shocks that are already optimized for T4 (ie. Penskes from
Mazda Motorsports, or secret valving from professional teams) this R&D was done for you. Drivers using other spec lines have
to do this R&D on their own to compete at the same level.
Conclusion-
By changing the “non-adjustable” requirement to “single-adjustable”, there were many more options for budget builders, and
custom builders won’t need to perfect their shocks, then remove the adjuster. Drivers will also be able to make minor
adjustments as the shocks age, prolonging their operational life. Remote reservoirs or multiple adjusters would significantly
increase build cost and complexity and are not recommended.
In GCR Section 9.1.9.2.D.5.b.2., change as follows:
"The make of shock absorber may be changed. Their number, perch location(s), system of attachment, and attachment points
shall not be altered. Their type (tube vs. lever, etc.) shall not be altered. The interchange of gas and hydraulic shock absorbers is
permitted.
T4 only: (Effective 01/01/2026) Unless a specification line allows adjustable shocks, adjustable shocks are prohibited. Any non-
adjustable or single-adjustable shock absorber is allowed. Adjustable shocks that are retrofitted into nonadjustable appearanceare prohibited. Removing adjusters or knobs from adjustable shocks is prohibited. Commercial part numbers for shocks must bevisible and unaltered. Shocks must be installed in the original mounting locations. Remote reservoirs are not permitted.
Threaded shock bodies or adjusters may be used. Shocks can serve no purpose other than to damp motion."
#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.”

#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
to be sure that this is what we all want before we make a decision.

Thank you for your letter. Data presented publicly shows that the 4.0 liter Mustang is not capable of competitive trap speeds or
acceleration rates. It is 3225lbs (still 25lbs heavier than the new RX8 weight), it has a straight axle and bad aero. So, the 4 liter
doesn't handle as well, and it can't accelerate as well. Its not capable of being competitive in T4.
The 3.7 is the same chassis as the 4.0. It has a 50mm FPR (9mm smaller than the RX8) to reduce HP, and it weighs 3400 lbs. We
are also requiring it to be represented at 3 HST events prior to the Runoffs. The TAC believes the change is both justifiable and
done with caution.

Thank you for your letter. The Rx8s with data boxes were all over the minimum weight at the finish of the championship
race. One of the RX8s on the podium was over the new weight. The restrictor plate change is meant to be a small adjustment in
performance as we want the Rx8 to do well but it was far enough outside of the performance envelope we could not leave the
BOP as is in fairness to other competitors in the touring class. This is the first plate change in the spec line's history. Data reports
supporting this adjustment were presented on the "SCCA Touring Racers" Facebook page. Also note, the 3 outlying RX8s are
new to the class and are likely to be faster as they spend more time developing their cars.

Thank you for your letter. A maximum spring rate has been the standard spring allowance method for the touring classes (as

We do not allow cars to compete 2 steps up; a T4 car would be a hazard in T2. Allowing C-spec in T4 is consistent with

-We worked with a member to choose the Clutch/Flywheel kit. As a veteran member of this committee, you understand that
such a kit is unprecedented in T4. Specifying a part number is more in-line with such allowances. Allowing an open allowance is

The Touring Committee recognizes that there are many spec lines in the Touring categories that have gone unused. We would
like to delete unused spec lines but we do not want to accidentally miss anyone that is outside of our radar. In the coming
months, we will put a comment in the "notes" section of suspected unused spec lines. The note will state that this spec line is
scheduled "To be removed as of 1/2023- Please comment". If you or someone you know is occasionally using the spec line,
submit a letter and we will not remove it. Please submit corrections prior to 12/1/2022.
Please note- Only suspected unused spec lines apply.

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.
#31036 from Dom Golia · No action required · Minutes (2022-02 Fastrack)

#30980 from Glen Morris · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-02 Fastrack)

allowances that don't fit with our definition of T4: Flywheels, lighter batteries, accusump, adjustable shocks, no ride height limit,

#31853 from Steven Lakey · No action required · Minutes (2022-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The changes to the spec line were made because the old spring parts are no longer available. The new
springs are readily available, affordable, and were requested by Mazda Motorsports. They are a stiffer spring than the old
allowance, thus the weight adjustment. Springs like these commonly cost a few hundred dollars. The old sway bar (yours) is the
basis for the measurements in the new spec line. New builds have the option to use a different set of bars. There is no change
to the shock rule, but Mazda Motorsports plans to offer a shock kit specific to the T4 RX-8. This option conforms to the T4 shock
rule that has been in place since for years.

and others are very limited. 3.5 degrees is attainable by most cars under the current bushing and top hat rules.
Adjustable shocks- It is true that some people will arrive at the track with 3 sets of non-adjustable shocks and they'll choose the
best option. If single adjustable shocks were allowed, you'd move the problem upward. The same guy would arrive with 3
options with different rebound valving. The TAC feels that single adjustable shocks wouldn't help.

#30136 from Scotty White · Not recommended · Minutes (2021-04 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. We discussed the idea of moving this car to T4, but the car fits best in T3. Data shows that the car can
be competitive in T3. We also feel that the car would have a negative impact on other T4 competitors. Its base HP is
approximately 100 HP above the basic T4 car. It would also weigh approximately 1000 pounds more than other T4 cars. If the
class accelerates, it may be considered in the future. In the meantime, we are willing to consider adjusting the T3 spec line.

#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
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.
