That last one hasn't got an integrated wing. Now, does the rule mean "Le Mans P1 that have an integrated wing"? Or "Le Mans P1 or anything with an integrated wing"?

So this is okay:



But this is not okay:



They're... kind of similar, no?

rules say :
integrated wings are illegal, then it gives an EXAMPLE of a body with an integrated wing, Lemans P1

they don't just state flat out lemans P1 bodies are illegal

I read it that Lemans P1 bodies WITH integrated wings are illegal

Indeed. There's a fine line between LMP1 and P2, but here in the U.S., the Daytona Prototypes got mixed in with the P2 cars when the Grand Am series merged with the ALMS to form USCC, er, TUSCC.

BTW, I suppose the TUSCC could retain its name if Tissot became the primary series sponsor over Tudor. Or TAG Heuer. Or even Timex. But would they change to RUSCC if Rolex took it?

That was exactly my own reading of it, as well, but since others disagreed, I was also inclined to think that it could be clearer.

By that reading, a Porsche 962 with a separate wing could be legal. Again, good luck fitting it to your touring car, though, which probably settles the issue.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Cadillac, myself, but damn, this looks very good!

Personally, I'd be in favour of USGT sticking to GT1/2/3, and staying out of LMP1/2, and even DP, leaving the prototypes for the pan cars. The pan cars both fit those bodies better (no pesky shock towers in the way), and also better represents the all-out racing attitude (as in, they properly leave the touring cars in their dust).

But body styles are rather difficult to make rules for, the split wing is one way of avoiding the worst, but doesn't cover the DP (and many LMP) bodies...

I would like to renew my usgt/usvta driver series membership so I can retain the same number. I am currently overseas but don't want to miss out on next years series.

Thanks

I never understood why Daytona styles were ever allowed, they just look goofy amongst sedans on the track. Id rather see a truck or van body rolling around the track than a Wildcat or GTP.

In the end I don't care all that much (still like the aero of the Celica), just making conversation.

I hate it when they confuse spoiler with wing. The protoform bodies have spoilers. A wing stands above the body. Always has, always will.
