Anyone out there have pictures of Roger Sheridan's car without the body work on it? Preferably closeups of the chassis. Any one have the color print articles of the European car articles on that car?

December 93
May 94
November 94
January 96

There was another issue but it was later, maybe 97-99. Had a two or threee page article. Can't remember what issue, I lost it sometime in the past.

I will buy the magzines if you will part with them otherwise how bout scanning them in and posting them on the net or emailing them to me?

I am in the process of getting a classification of the watercooled engines now. I see no reason why it won't go through, (unless that little SCCA vs. Porsche spat is still going hard).
_____________________________________________________________________
From the 2002 GCR

"For all GT cars registered as GT cars after January 1, 1990, the type of
front suspension is unrestricted, except that rocker arms and push-pull
rods are prohibited. Front wheel drive cars may convert to rear wheel
drive. The “base” standard front engine, rear wheel drive configuration
shall use a live “closed tube” rear axle. The “base” standard front wheel
drive configuration. shall use a beam rear axle, unless otherwise so
specified on the specification line.

Cars classified in GT2-5 may use independent rear suspension, by design or choice, at a 5% weight penalty that will be specified on the vehicle spec line.

All mid-engine GT cars may use the manufacturer’s original type of suspension,
MacPherson strut-type, or double A-arm front and rear independent
suspension as defined above.


____________________________________________________________________

The way I read this I can run any dual a-arm suspension front or rear as long as it follows the rules.

Yes Roger was indeed functioning under the old rules as was the car you have, built.

This is not an inherent problem but GT2 is about to get really interesting. I here calls for making it a 400+hp class. Allowing the 20b for the Mazada and some wieght breaks to really seperate the GT2 feild from the GT3 field. They just gave the 914 up to 3.4 litres at a 2380 lbs. They gave the Mazda 13b PP unlimited venturies. The next couple of years will be really different as GT2 tries to recover from the probation.
