Not clear as to how the rev limit is checked however.....
To help competitors with the extra expense, DT will supply the MSD units at 15% discount, and Masters will match this in the form of a credit against race entry costs. The 2018 regulations are now available on Masters website- http://www.mastershistoricracing.com/championships/
Will be interesting to see if the performance of smaller engined cars is affected, but it’s suggested that the emphasis is on controlling build and rebuild costs.
Peter Auto have also introduced rev limits for Classic Endurance Racing entries, using the same control unit, plus a limit of 2 engines per season (sealed), so there appears to be a theme......

Is that 2 engines per season per car or two engines per season per driver? (Or per driver per car?)
