Championship Regulation Changes [4.12.09] Notice of Regulation change on minimum weight : Following the recent ballot of driver members on the issue of the minimum weight regulation, the result was 75% in favour of the change, 25% against. The committee has therefore requested BARC to amend the regulation for the 2010 season, and this has been accepted by BARC today. Please therefore be aware that there will be a new regulation for 2010 as follows : Regulation 5.14 : MINIMUM WEIGHT LIMIT: As per the current Formula Ford Regulations issued by Ford Motor Company. In addition the minimum weight of car plus driver, at any time during competition shall be 500kg. (The weight of car plus driver will include the driver's racesuit, helmet, etc) Notice to defer removal of Regulation 5.7.1 regarding engine overboring : With regard to the regulation concerning the permission to rebore the engine up to + 0.020" (Reg 5.7.1), the result of the driver member ballot was 88% in favour of dropping this regulation, and 12% against. However, due to concerns that some drivers may be unaware whether they have an overbored engine or not, the committee has decided to defer requesting this regulation be dropped until the end of the 2010 season. This will hopefully provide sufficient time for competitors to resolve any confusion, and take appropriate action to ensure that their engine is legal from the start of the 2011 season.
