ISF Rule Changes For 2009
by Steve Ratchett
1/30/2009
The ISF Technical Working Group met Thursday to review the rules for 2009.
No significant rule changes were made with the exception of:
1. Track owners can now decide on whether qualifying on their track will be held in one certain lane (i.e. yellow) that all drivers have to qualify in, or to let each driver decide and open up all the lanes for qualifying.
2. All four ISF divisions will continue to race on the PVT-01 tires that have been used over the last several seasons, however drivers can use stock or double flanged rims in F1, GT, and LMP. Drivers must use double flanged rims in GTP
3. The 2.4 hour endurance race will undergo some changes for 2009. Most of which are subject to further discussion however some of the changes that were approved are:
a. Drivers can choose their own teammate before the race
b. Two different divisions will continue to run
c. Tyco pan chassis will continue to be used
d. More discussion will take place as the race draws closer
4. The new megaG and the revised Tyco 440x2 Ferraris are not eligible for 2009, however with the expectation that F1 cars will be available in the next year, this could change for 2010.
5. SRT chassis are confirmed for the 2009 GT division
6. The Clevelandstone race is scheduled to be a �wet race� with more details to come
Other news bits:
1. there may be a new supplier for LMP bodies
2. resin casting is going well, however mounting the body clips is proving difficult, so other options for attaching the bodies to the chassis are going to be tried
3. The new ISF website has gotten great reviews. The TWG thanked the Devin Group and John Wiedemann for their help
