Default AARCMCC EP on-road classes for 2014

A while ago I kicked off a discussion on EP spec class alignment. While we're still a long way from aligned state to state, the AARCMCC clubs have voted on the spec classes for 2014 and a new class structure has been decided for touring cars:

21.5 blinky
13.5 blinky
Mod

I think this is a step in the right direction for touring cars and an important decision to hopefully work towards an aligned class structure across all of the states

Here is the announcement from the AARCMCC thread

13.5 will be included from Jan 2014
Mini will be excluded from Jan 2014
All other amendments accepted.

Clubs will be officially notified shortly, and a full updated rule set will be out in the next few weeks.

Again apologise for my Error with the Tamworth reply.

I agree that this is the right structure, even if I'm not convinced that the "status" of the slowest class is right. Regardless, Touring Car now has a clear direction, that will probably see better alignment between WA, NSW, SA and Qld. Tas, because of their geography are always going to be heavily influenced by Vic, so let's hope the Vic clubs come on board too.

Now all we have to do is sort out the feeder structure for 12th scale and we'll have both halves of the onroad equation sorted out.

13.5 Blinky suits me, this whole Boosted etc just gave me a headache, and I think it'll get some people back into the class.

At least the old 10.5 motors will now have company from 17.5 motors.

Thunder Power motors, all I need do is pull the 17.5T stator and replace it with the 13.5T I already bought, though it means I have two stators I won't need anymore, although what is off road stock running now?

Mini can still be run as a Support class if there is the demand for it.
