At the end of 2023 I requested a rule change to the SCCA Club Racing Board. After writing an initial letter and backing it up with specs, docs and pics, I received an approval. In the December Fastrack technical bulletin the new spec line was introduced and the rule change was official. Below is what it will look like in the 2024 General Competition Rules.
In the 1989 model year, Porsche made and sold the 944 with an 8-valve 2.7 liter motor in addition to the 16-valve cars, the 944S and S2. The change in displacement was simply a larger bore with the same stroke. This one-year change also added larger 48mm intake valves to gain a net of 5 horsepower. These are the only changes from the 8V 2.5L cars. Everything else is exactly the same although a 50 pound "penalty" raises the minimum weight to 2300lbs. Hopefully I can gain more than 5 horsepower and continue to develop the rest of the car.
The latest state of the E Production class has BMW Z3s, RX7s, Miatas and Caterhams raising the bar and winning races. I feel that the 944 can still be a great Production car, especially with light weight. Hence my decision to approach the CRB. We'll see what happens....
