After lots of speculation the ISF released their rule book changes for 2013.
It should be a fun season of racing in the ISF this year!
Until next time...It's not bad being in the pits.

LMP races will be the Mega G 1.7 narrow chassis cars.
These are the chassis with the fully sealed traction magnets (aka the “new” chassis, Photo A).
Tires will be stock Mega G tires only.
Tires can be the lettered or blackwall versions (photos B&C).
No modifications of any kind to anything on the car or chassis or motor except the following:
1. Paint for... the body
2. Glue to repair broken wings, drivers heads, etc.
Heat races 10 minutes in length.
Final races 16 minutes in length.
3 laps qualifying with fastest lap determining grid position.
Drivers can “represent” any manufacturer or team from the ALMS. ELMS, or LMS from the past 10 years.
The only restriction is if you are running a closed cockpit car you can’t represent a team that runs open cockpit cars (i.e. you can’t run the Peugot Mega G body and say you’re racing Porsche spyders for team Penske), with the exception of teams that have run both kinds of cars (i.e. Audi, Dyson, etc.).
F1 rules:
F1 races will be the Mega G 1.7 narrow chassis cars.
EITHER the old chassis OR the ones with the fully sealed traction magnets (aka the “new” chassis) are allowed (Photo A)
No modifications of any kind to anything on the car or chassis or motor except the following:
1. Paint for the body
2. Glue to repair bro...ken wings, drivers heads, etc.
During heat races and the final race drivers are required to complete a two tire change pit stop within one minute of either side of the halfway point.
Drivers must race one half of the race on stock Mega G tires and one half on the option tire (Photos B&C).
Option tire will be supplied by the league and chosen on race night after qualifying.
Drivers have the choice of changing the entire axle with the option tires attached-both supplied by the league, or just changing tires alone.
The ISF will race three classes of cars this year.
LMP, F1, GTP
LMP, F1, GTP
After agonizing and many opinions I decided it is time to move to the Mega G chassis for 2013.
GTP will remain the super G+ however F1 and LMP will be the Mega G 1.7 chassis (Photo A)

Drivers can “represent” any manufacturer or team from F1 in the history of F1.
Drivers with less than a full season of ISF experience cannot represent a present day F1 team who is one of the top three in construction points (aka Ferrari, Maclaren, Red Bull until they have completed a full ISF season or equivalent of 20 races). The exception is a new driver can be paired with a veteran driver on a top three team as long as the veteran driver has over 20 ISF starts.
