Sgt Pepper Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I'm thinking about entering a local event (Crystal Palace Sprint) in May and need to complete the form and state which category my '93 x/flow 7 would be in. Only having competed in the L7C championship I am unsure, having briefly read the 'Blue Book', which category a 7 would normally enter in. My options being: A - Road Going Series Production Cars (GR S10.10.1) B - Road Going Specialist Production Cars (GR S10.10.2) C - Modified Limited & Specialist Production Cars (GR S10.10.3 and .4) D - Sports Libre (GR S10.10.6) Is anyone who is more familiar with the Regs able to confirm which Category I should be in, before I totally misinterpret the regs and make a complete 🙆🏻 of myself ?

Mark Durrant Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I would check the regs carefully regarding tyres (1a or 1b) and if in doubt contact the Entries Secretary for the meeting who I am sure will be pleased to advise on the correct class.

Nigel Fox Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Roadgoing classes need a full windscreen. If you don't have one then you are in to "C", you then need an MSA log book. Martin Sargeant and myself fell foul of this last year at 3 sisters last year, the scrutineer basically said we were ineligable for any class, our road going Lotus 7 guise is not recognised at other events. We were relieved of 30 quid each for an MSA log book applicationbefore being allowed to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Nigel - that should not be the case. However it depends on the way each organising club interprets the rules.

Nigel Fox Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yes you are probably right Simon, it was a particularly "officious" scrutineer and we didn't have the fire power of the Lotus 7 club with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardO Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I've competed in roadgoing classes with an aeroscreen fitted. The clubs around here only started allowing that 4 years ago though - before then it was expressly prohibited. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have not had to have a log book running in mod prod at SW last year. i thought if you car was road legal but running MP then it wasn't needed, it was only if non road legal that you needed it, irrespective of what class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Pepper Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks for all your replies, it's obviously a bit of a minefield. It seems like 'interpretation' is the key word to reading the regs sometimes. Anyway, I've emailed to Entries Secretary with specific details of my 7 and I'll let you know the outcome.

Englishmaninwales Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Just to complicate things, the tyre regs seem to have changed for Roadgoing Production Cars/Specialist Production Cars now allowing list 1A or 1B, (see (S) 11.6.2). Probably will be down to local intrepretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Malcolm See the clarification below contained in a press release from the MSA. Sprint & Hill Climb regulation clarification Following recent discussion regarding tyres in Roadgoing Categories for Sprint & Hill Climb Events, the Motor Sports Association is pleased to clarify the regulation as follows: Tyre Requirements in Sprints & Hill Climbs The Technical Regulations applicable to the Category of “Roadgoing Production Cars and Roadgoing Specialist Production Cars” are set out within (S)11. (S)11.6.2. states: Wheels and Tyres. “Except for Period Defined Vehicles (Non-Rally) A-H inclusive are to (L) List 1A and List 1B.” Championship/Event Organisers are then free, within these Categories, by means of Class Regulation to specify tyre choice to being either (L) List 1A, (L) List 1B or any specific tyre from either list. In order to do so appropriate regulation must be incorporated into the specific Championship/Event Regulations.

Sgt Pepper Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 I have received the following reply: "Enter Class B, aeroscreens can be a bit emotive so there is a small chance you may get reclassified on the day." Fingers crossed that I don't get an "officious" scrutineer. Representing the Caterham division of the VSCC 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
