Interesting! I certainly appreciates the volunteer efforts of the rulesmakers to help keep the playing field level.
This is a pretty big rule addition - Are the Spec E30 officials planning a press release with more info? I’d certainly appreciate some more background information. And I have a bunch of questions
Will a fully-built legal motor truly fit under the 163 number? I have a fresh motor that pulled strong at VIR, but I’ve never had it on a dyno. Presumably, I would need to find a local dynojet to find out if I have to run ballast, correct? Also, how much variation we can expect with the dynojet…I wonder how much the “SAE J1349 Rev JUN90” standard is a a true no-shit measurement…Also, the GTS guys have had plenty of issues with their dyno specs, and variances from dyno numbers - any thoughts on how we can avoid the same pitfalls?
Just a couple of early thoughts…thanks for indulging.
