Slow RSA

You can also reach out to Goldcrest Motorsports, they may have some info on how to get one

I believe there will be a pretty significant announcement on this soon.

MSR Racer

Spec gt4 should be k, or l something

tcsracing1

this reminds me when ford started the FR500C program for competition body in white mustangs.
To get one you had to be commited to a season etc...

Will be interesting to see what class and body PMNA wants.

stujelly

nothing spec about gtb-1

Veloce Raptor

I know...I was being my usual smartass

Based on reported HP and weight, it would be a high end "J" car or a low end "K" car

This is confusing to me. Doesn't every class have specs which define it as such?
And GTB1 is essentially all Caymans so don't see what's funny about calling it "Spec Cayman".

A spec class says, everyone uses Bilsteins without reservoirs and Pagid pads. Non spec lets indivual racers choose brands of things as they see fit, among other things.

hf1

But GTC3 specs say everyone uses a specific brand tire and no one calls them a "spec" class, no? There seem to be a lot of non-spec parts in "spec" classes (cage, bumper, oiling, radiators, brake cooling, etc.) and a lot of spec parts in "non-spec" classes (tires, motor, gearing, etc.). Still can't make sense of why spec-ing some parts makes a certain class "spec" while spec-ing some other parts in some other classes does not. Don't mean to be a pain, just want to get to the bottom of this once and for all.

Astroman

Yes, they do. GTC3 is absolutely a "spec" PCA class.

GTgears

Was about to say the same. GTC in all variants are spec classes.

hf1

Can't you have any brand suspension, rotors, and pads you want in GTC# classes?

GTgears

Maybe my example was too broad. Not all spec classes are structured the same. Maybe one says any 2 way adjustable damper without remote reservoir is legal. Another might say you must use our exact "spec" damper. The latter is designed to further control costs.

In Spec classes all the cars are near identical, within reason. In something like GTB1 there are huge variations in the cars and the fact that it isn't strictly a Cayman class, though it is dominated by them. 996s run GTB1 too.

Part of what may confuse the issue is the POC Cayman Spec class looked to GTB1 for consistency in the rules to align so someone who owns a car could run it both places. POC had a Cayman Spec class. PCA never has.

MSR Racer

To understand PCA race classes, you have to read their rule book a few times. Not just GTC-3 alone for example because lot of things are described contextually. Like they said, it's a very spec class. If anything is allowed, "free", it will be stated.
