Formula 40 Rule Change
From 2019 rule book (page 17):
8. Formula 40 GTU
-- Based on Race of the Rockies GTU class displacement and
configuration limits as per 2.4.1.6
-- Racer must be 40 years of age or older on the day of the event.
9. Formula 40 GTO
-- Unlimited displacement and origin.
-- Racer must be 40 years of age or older on the day of the event.
Proposed 2020 rule change:
8. Formula 40 GTU
-- Based on Race of the Rockies GTU class displacement and
configuration limits as per 2.4.1.6
-- Racer must be 40 years of age or older on the day of the event.
-- Racer in the top 5 of point standings in RORO or RORU is ineligible for the event.
9. Formula 40 GTO
-- Unlimited displacement and origin.
-- Racer must be 40 years of age or older on the day of the event.
-- Racer in the top 5 of point standings in RORO or RORU is ineligible for the event.
Rationale: Formula 40 was structured in the past to limit participation by racers competing in ROR. The reasoning is/was probably similar to the rules governing Amateur GTU and GTO.
