Britsh Stockhatch Regs 06

[HrRACING]

Have these been published or do we have to wait til after the AGM?

[206180]

And if they havent been decided yet would it be a good idea to follow the Irish and have a weight limit ?

[silver bullet]

I think weight limits are coming in in 2007, but I hope they go with the 750MC's system rather than the Irish way.

I would agree with Silver that this is probably a fairer system than the one taken up by the Irish championship. It has been fine tuned by 750 mc over the past couple of years and seems to lead to good close racing with lots of different makes.

However you would have to take about 30 to 35 kg off the above weights across the board, as rallycross stock hatch cars don't have lights,glass and various bits of internal trim that have to be kept for the circut racing.

The BRDA would be as well to run as per the Irish weight reg's for 2006. See how it works in '06 and review for '07.

Would have to agree that some weight limit is better than none at all. As was discovered last year some car driver combinations were up to 50 kgs lighter than most of the other cars. At least the irish min weight gives some equlisation. So as an interim measure it would be good if the BRDA also adopted the weight limit.

I think the lardy drivers should have heavier cars, either that or go on a diet.!

Looking round the paddock I reckon some Rallycross drivers could be as much as 50 kgs over weight, this gives me an advantage.

I hear Phil Chicken has already lost four stone, I'd better start going on a diet myself
Bring on the 750 mc's weight limits 205 GTi 1.6 - 890Kgs, XR2 - 831Kgs
The funny thing is I was talking to a guy from the 750mc at the Autosport show, and he said when they put ballast in a Peugeot 106 it actually made it quicker because it seemed to handle better.
