Notes to all Formula Continental Drivers and Teams:
- Per GCR 9.1.1.10.g:"It is the responsibility of the competitor to ensure that their tires are declared, marked and logged by Tech in advance of their first on-track session(s)." See below:
Effective 05/01/2021 g. FC shall be limited to the following tires (front tires may not be used as rears):
Dry: Front – Hoosier 20.5 x 7.0 – 13 R60A compound - 43164R60A
Rear – Hoosier 22.0 x 8.0 – 13 R60A compound – 43285R60A
Wet: Front – Hoosier 21.0 x 6.5 – 13 W3- 44185W3
Rear – Hoosier 22.0 x 8.0 – 13 W3 – 44196W3
FC shall be permitted a maximum of four (4) dry tires and four (4) wet tires for all Regional, Major and Super Tour events; eight (8) dry tires and eight (8) wet tires for Runoffs. This rule shall be effective beginning with the first (1st) qualifying session of the event. It is the responsibility of the competitor to ensure that their tires are declared, marked and logged by Tech in advance of their on-track session(s).
1. Use of an undeclared tire shall automatically result in all times being disallowed in that session or finishing position in that race.
2. If a tire is damaged during a qualifying session or a race the competitor may replace the damaged tire with a used tire upon approval by the Chief Steward without loss of time or finishing position. Second or subsequent damaged tires may similarly be replaced upon approval by the Chief Steward, however such shall result in the loss of grid position in the subsequent race or session; the competitor shall start at the back of the grid.
- As such, please bring your tires to Tech before going on track for your first qualifying session so they can be marked and logged. Alternatively, you can make arrangements with FC Line Chief, Jim Norlin, to come by your paddock location on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, September 25-27 by sending a text message to 503-936-0731. Please give the drivers name, car number and pit location and he will respond as soon as he is able.
- If you are a Zetec competitor and your ECU is password protected, ensure that you know what it is, as you will need it in impound. Also, Zetec competitors may be required to cycle the master kill switch on pregrid before each qualifying session and the race.
