Default Rule query

It was pointed out to me at the weekend that the aero does not have a front bumper and it supposedly needs to for national events??


Now in the hand book there is no stipulation of bumpers but rules saying the maximum width etc of any bumper fitted.

My understanding of the rule book is that if you have a bumper fitted it must adhere to the handbook but if you dont have one it is not a problem?


Correct me if i have missed something

I *think* there is a rule in there somewhere about it, there definitely used to be, but it may have been removed as Paul W has done some cleaning up of the rule over recent years.

I really don't think it matters Lee, remember your doing off-road now

Ha Ha yeah Tom i do forget.

I remember at a national a few years ago Teemu Leino was over for schuey and he stuck on a different shell for the final round of qualifying and took TQ, someone then from another team complained that he had no lights on his new shell. Teemu consequently had his TQ taken off him.

Thats how gay onroad is

I would suggest it is "non damaging" though, which I think could be a bit of a grey area the way the Aero is designed......

How do you mean G?

It has no sharp edges etc

Personally i think if it was picked up and failed scruitineering because of this they really would be knit picking, when you look at the bj4 etc the bumpers are pretty useless and wouldn`t really save anyones ankles if they were to hit them

Yeah and let's be honest, if it was a problem i'm sure it would have been bought up immediately if it was on Lee's car

Its not such as a flat edge like the BJ4, b44, aero and S4 type as you know and the normal style ones are alot wider. With the norm style car its got a good one and a half inch of rock solid carbon in a right angle from a side veiw like a L shape.

The pred one as you know mate is bearly wider than half and inch and isnt that sort of L shape.. nice soft plastic nose cone F1 bumper LOL
