No it wouldn't be a ROAR legal TC body so it would be USGT legal. I went on the PF mag forum and recommended PF releasing a updated version of this Cadillac. Do you know where to purchase one of these older PF touring car bodies.

OK, you have to admit, the new Ferrari F80 is wicked cool. I'm just not sure how to make this body out of Lexan!

Yes the HPI bodies are legal.

This new body from Tamiya is as well.

It'd be really cool if someone raced that in USGT with a FWD chassis.

Ummmm.....this is not USGT legal...

This is a LeMans P1 style body....which is clearly not allowed in the rules.

It's not all that clear, IMHO... Daytona prototypes are okay, so bodies with some form of "aggressive design" are acceptable. Clearly out are the 1/12 and 1/8 bodies with integrated wings:




These have the "scale looks be damned" wedge shape. From my reading of this, the fate of a slightly more scale-looking, but also integrated wing body, would also be disallowed (a Porsche 962, as it happens):



But how about a Porsche 962 with a split wing? How is that much different from a Daytona Prototype?



That said, good luck fitting that on a touring car!

Shameless plug: the rules for the BRCA GT10 class (the British version of WGT) mainly forbids integrated wings, so that last one could be legal, as would the Nismo.

What???

The rule states...."Can AM or IMSA style bodies, similar to 1/12 or 1/8 bodies using an integrated wing are illegalEX: Porsche 962 style bodies or LeMans P1. "

Its clearly stated everything that you just showed here is illegal...and it even points out LeMans P1. I fail to see how there is any confusion with this the way its written right now.
