Do the PCA and POC have clearly defined rules for when a car is considered tube frame construction?
Do you have to start with a pile of tubing and contain no original tub structure? Or can you add enough tubes to a stock tub to cause it to be considered a tube frame car? Mike T. |

In PCA Racing the rules for all the GT classes require the tub to be intact from shock tower to shock tower, however some allowance is given for suspension upgrades which alter the shock mounting, eg. coilovers. Also the bodywork must be recognizable as that model Porsche, such as used in other race series or historic racing.
Cars modified in excess of those rules are placed in GTP, regardless of performance potential, and race with 962's etc. |
