Rule changes.

Cars put into Parc Ferme after a semi final can now be blown off in case they are wet.
In the case of a race which is interrupted for more than 60 minutes for Reasons beyond the control of the organisers (bad weather conditions with safety risks for all persons at the meeting), the referees together with the Race-director will decide whether to cancel or continue the meeting. In the main AGM a general rule was implemented stating that the decision to abandon a meeting will be taken only by the race director. So this may override our rule.
The maximum width of a body-shell is 267mm on top of the wing and stiffeners in the side of the body are not allowed. (This was implemented because it was felt that drivers were specifically putting in stiffeners to widen the lower part of the body and they could not come up with an effective way to control this.
The rim must not exceed 54.00mm + 1.00 mm tolerance diameter

Items for general discussion

A new generation of 3 chamber mufflers are being designed to reduce noise levels. If these prove to pass the new homologation test they will come into force for 2008 making current ones illegal (in EFRA rule) As we follow EFRA on pipe list we will watch this carefully so we don't end up with lots of people with old illegal pipes.
