Data collection beginning 1-1-2014: please remember this came out in the December Fastrack and is going to be enforced beginning with the Sebring race in January. While this needs to be approved by the BoD i see no reason it will not be approved.
Change 9.1.1.G. FORMULA 1000 (FB) PREPARATION RULES
Formula 1000 is a restricted class. Therefore, all allowable modifications,
changes, or additions are as stated herein. There are no exceptions. IF IN
DOUBT, DON’T. Homologation is required for all cars. All FB cars competing in Majors Races must have a 3x4 inch magnetic mounting surface (i.e. steel plate) for an SCCA provided GPS-based data acquisition box measuring 3x4x1.5 inches. The mounting surface is to be approximately oriented either horizontally or vertically either parallel or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car and must be accessible from the exterior of the car with the driver on board. It should have a view of the sky, and not be located under carbon fiber or metallic bodywork. The purpose of this requirement is to allow the random placement of data boxes on cars on pre-grid by SCCA assigned personal and the collection of the box when the car exits the race track.
