July 2025 Fastrack... Wheelbase change?

Quote:

In FST, GCR section 9.1.1.F.1.6, change as follows:"
2. Wheelbase minimum 81.5"; maximum (85.5) 90.0"
5. Overall length: Maximum (140) 150" (includes exhaust)"

Is this correct? The FST cars are getting an increase in wheelbase to 90"? That is very significant for tall people where the standard FV is max of 83.5" and the FST was 85.5.

Yes they are requesting that for tall drivers. Needless to say a well designed car will fit tall people but a lot of the original cars were FV with the additional 2" to allow more engine room. My car will easily fit 6'4" drivers so it has been doable. Car is for sale.

Thanks Ed. That is a huge difference. Maybe DriverZ and Challenge Cup will look at a 2nd class with FST cars on the same tires...
