The car is compliant to its homologation form and enters in a known category (group 1, group 2, A, …) and Bob's your uncle you get it right away. Or you go through the CSAH and have a category recognized such like BSCC, french Production and then ask for an HTP complying with this category. Long walk but worth. Probably.
I know there"s a thread talking about appendix K and so on. Several members asked for info though (Coombs Jag' and others). The list of HTP's issued is public, no secret there. Could it be useful to open a thread talking about HTP's only? Not forgetting that they do not belong to us any more and that a compliant car can have its regular HTP called back for examination if my understanding is good.

Gerard,
Appendix K has always recognised various regulations, take the example of IMSA which is exactly what a BSCC car would be in terms of rules. An IMSA CSL has nothing to do with a Group 2 or Group 5 CSL.
1 - The rules existed in period.
2 - They were different to Appendix J but based on it.
3 - They ran at an International level in terms of Calendar so they can be recognised.
In fine, isn't it better to have regulations accepted and cars to comply rather than leaving them out and letting people make-up history?
On the HTP not belonging to you, it has always been a document owned by the FIA and this is the same for Homologation. And in any case, it can be recalled or cancelled as per Appendix K Art. 4.3.4.
