PCA Rule Changes
PCA Club Racing Rules Changes For 2014
The Rules Committee has adopted the following rules changes for the 2014 racing season.
SAFETY
SEATS WITHOUT A BACK BRACE
Unless modified during 2014, starting in 2015 in order to race without a complying seat back brace or other exception, all the following conditions must be met:
1) An FIA 8855-1999 approved race seat, within six years of its manufacture, or an FIA 8862-2009 approved seat within eleven years of its manufacture, and installed in accordance with the FIA's and manufacturer's specifications.
2) A metal seat mount, with each separate side formed from a single sheet of steel 3mm thick minimum, or aluminum 5mm thick, commercially available as a race seat mount, and mounted in accordance with the FIA's and manufacturer's specifications. Mounts may be modified as needed to clear Cup car sliders.
3) If a slider is used, it must be:
a. For 996s and later 911s, 996 and later Cup or other factory race cars, Boxsters, and Caymans, the slider used on the Porsche Cup cars (996.521.929.00) or the similar part used on the other specified models when delivered without a power seat slider.
b. For all other models, any slider other than the Cup type must be approved by the PCA Club Racing Rules Chair, and must mount to the chassis with at least one M8 grade 8.8 bolt at each end of each slider. Earlier cars which used 6mm bolts must have the chassis mounting modified to accept 8mm or larger bolts. At present only the Sabelt double locking slider is approved if a Cup or equivalent Porsche slider is not used.
4) The chassis mount must be modified if not made to take an 8 or 10mm bolt, and in any event must also be reinforced by additional steel welded around the mount if a floor pan mount, or connecting a cantilevered mount to the floor pan, so it cannot flex, and the sheet metal holding the chassis attachment is reinforced to prevent pull through. If a slider, seat mount, or bottom mount seat is bolted through the floorpan, a steel backing plate at least 4"x4" x 1/8" must be used for each fastener. It is recommended that the backing plate be welded to the floorpan.
Racers installing or changing seats during 2014 should keep these changes in mind, as they will be enforced in some substantially similar form on all cars starting January 2015.
STOCK
5) The 1997-99 2.5 liter Boxsters are moved from E to D. These cars have to weigh 255 pounds more than the Spec Boxsters, and existing D class cars should not find themselves outclassed.
6) Seven inch wide rims are allowed for cars which came stock with 5.5 inch wide rims or less.
7) McPherson strut spindles may be gusseted to the strut.
8) Parts substitution on Stock class cars will be allowed when original parts are no longer available, subject to case by case approval by the Technical & Rules Chair. The racer making the request must provide documentation of the search for the correct part and the specifications of the proposed substitute. Approved substitutions will be added to the rules in the following year.
9) M96 and M97 sump-in-block motors (Boxster, Cayman, 996, and 997) may make the following modifications, which may not also serve as a performance advantage: aftermarket oil pump hex drives, replacement of the oil to water cooler with an oil to air cooler and fan, any Porsche internal oil pump, additional oil scavenge pumps with allowance of an electric brake booster, any deep wet sump and baffling, any drain plug, any thermostat, and additional oil filtration.
PREPARED
10) McPherson strut spindles may be raised.
SPEC CLASSES
11) SP 1, 2, and 3 rules changes will be incorporated into the PCA rule book after the parent entity has decided upon them. It does not appear that there will be any changes in SP911.
SPB
12) Any rear toe link is allowed as long as it does not alter suspension geometry beyond being longer and does not function differently than either of the other allowed toe links.
13) The Tarett front roll bar #996FSBK is allowed.
14) The exhaust system may be wrapped.
15) The air dam and bumper provisions are reworded to clarify that "stock" and "Boxster" parts refer only to the 986 model, but include any exact replicas, as do the allowed 1999 C2 US parts.
16) 500 lb springs may be used in front, and 450s in rear, but the spring distribution may not be "square."
17) If hood pins are installed, stock hood latches may be removed or disabled.
18) The windshield wiper arms and blades may be removed. Note: removal of the wiper mechanism is not allowed.
SPEC 996
19) The previously "optional top scoop" on the Getty spec 996 wing is no longer allowed, assuming that it ever was allowed under the rules as written. Logbooked cars with this top scoop may continue to run the scoop until the end of 2014.
20) A Gurney flap on the Getty spec 996 wing with a height not to exceed 1" is allowed.
21) The minimum wheel/tire combination weights are 40 lbs for fronts, and 46 lbs for rears.
22) The oiling modifications approved under Stock are NOT allowed.
GTB
23) The ITC wing is permitted.
24) The permitted wings may be raised to improve rear visibility, but no more than 4'8" above the ground at the top of the wing, and may be no farther to the rear than it would be if in its standard position. If this proves to be substantially higher than necessary for good rear vision and ease of enforcement, it might be reduced in subsequent rules.
25) The oiling modifications added to Stock may be incorporated in the engines in GTB.
26) GTB1 Caymans with the PDK transmission must weigh an additional 100 pounds.
27) 2014 Caymans will race in GTB2 at a minimum weight of 2750 pounds. It is unclear how the active suspension components on these new cars will affect performance potential, but no data exist to make adjustments so it is comparable to the cars without these improvements.
GT
28) 25) The HP/L factor for the 4 cylinder 4 valve water cooled engines is reduced from 125 to 115.
29) 26) The HP/L factor for the 4 cylinder 2 valve water cooled turbos is reduced from 200 to 185.
30) The class distinction based on tire type is discontinued, but cars running R tires must add an additional 50 pounds to their minimum weight. It does not appear that this will change substantially the podium finishes in the National Points series, nor at individual races. The issue will be revisited for 2015 to adjust or remove the weight penalty, or return to two classes if the determination that this change will have more of an effect than contemplation of race results and participation currently suggests.
GTC
31) Consumables, as specified in the second paragraph of the Stock Cars rules, are free as long as they cannot serve to increase the car's performance.
32) The 2014 Cup cars, in GT America trim, will race in GTC6. Whether these cars, in European Supercup trim, will run in this class as well remains to be decided.
ENDURO REFUELING
33) The Enduro rules concerning refueling will specify that the person acting as fireman may have no other duties while fuel is being added and must be back from the car far enough to perform those duties reasonably should fire occur. Additionally, if refueling involves a cranked fuel container on the cold side of the wall, there must be a person with full safety gear at the point of fuel entry into the car monitoring the hose and able to hold it in place if needed.
34) "Splash and go" refueling is not allowed. Any car refueled during an Enduro must be in the pits for a minimum of five minutes during any refueling pit stop.
RESLEEVING 6 CYLINDER ENGINE BLOCKS
No proposal for this was adopted. The issue of the use of aftermarket pistons to allow resleeving of the water cooled six cylinder motors which have an engine block rather than separately removable cylinders will eventually have to be faced. While the D chunk may be fairly rare with these motors in racing, and allowed oiling, bearing, and seal modifications may have addressed the main current reliability issues, the fact is that cylinders wear, and at some point exceed wear limits. This can be even more of an issue if the wear is oval rather than circular. No shop has shown that it is feasible (durability equal to original) to use the stock pistons designed for the stock Lokasil cylinder in a resleeved motor. The shop most involved in resleeving these blocks has tried to use the stock pistons, but reports that this simply will not work. No one has asserted the contrary, much less pointed to actually doing it successfully. Lokasil is not a coating or surface treatment which can be applied after machining or to a sleeve the way Nikasil can. It is matrix impregnation done as part of the process of manufacturing the block. New blocks continue to increase in cost, and at some point will be no longer available. And used blocks are going to have cylinder wear, and those still within specifications will become harder to acquire and at a higher cost.
The majority of those opposed to allowing aftermarket pistons as part of resleeving were mainly concerned with cheating and opening Pandora's Box to illegal engine modifications. None offered an alternative for increasing the life span of these engine blocks. Because bore and stroke and compression ratio can be measured with the engine in the car, and it is unlikely that the stock piston dome is not optimized by Porsche, the remaining significant variable here is piston weight. The best option yet suggested seems to be some form of certification by the seller or the shop doing the work, and perhaps an agreement with manufacturers for something distinctive indicating a stock weight. If these motors are to continue to be raced, this issue will come up again.

Can't wait to watch the debate unfold over the use of sliders in early cars. Cup sliders will not work in early cars. Why Sabelt alone? What, Recaro doesn't make a suitable double-lock slider? Really?

Haha! Also why do Cup guys get a podium and nicer awards than the rest of us? At Road America they were called to have their own award ceremony. I dont have cup car money, but comparative to what I can afford im likely spending just as much (again...comparative).
I get tire companies may not want to sponsor our races (although NASA somehow pulls it off), but to give us lesser awards than to the cup guys...thats silly!

Great, so do I use the Sparco sliders that I just bought for 14 because they were the ONLY ones allowed per last years rules or go ahead and get a new pair of Cup sliders so I don't have to change the damn things twice?

I argued that how can a Cup slider that has to be modified to fit in my 993 be any safer than the Recaro slider that I bought for my Recaro seat and mount, but apparently was not convincing. I guess I'll be shopping for seats/mounts/sliders. I have a feeling that DE guys will be getting some nice deals on these items.
