Someone needs to weigh in on the subject of legal bodies and tires for 1/8th GT Class.
Per ROAR: "Any commercially available factory licensed replicas of ALMS, GT1 or GT2, Super GT, DTM, and V8 Supercar Cars. Licensed Bodies required for ROAR Competition starting 1/1/2015. For 2014 any commercially available body that resembles a GT body. Body must be a 2 seater with 2 doors. 1. Sports Cars: Closed wheel cars designed specifically for racing in full-size series. Engine Head may not protrude above body."
Please confirm which bodies are allowed. From my limited time at Floyd the most popular bodies appear to be the Protoform, Sweep and Blitz. However, I do not see the Sweep body on the ROAR approved list per the ROAR site? These are the only bodies approved?

Also: are the new 1/8th GT Sweep tires ROAR approved? I know they were just approved by IFMAR and with that said are the older Sweep tires ROAR approved. Not looking to cause problems just expect to see some consistency with the rules so we can prepare accordingly. If I need to purchase new equipment, so be it just want to make sure I'm not purchasing the wrong equipment for this race.
