Can JDM parts be used if they help make the car neat-and-clean?
It will be interesting to see how things play out in STU.

My opinion, awd turbo. Point and shoot.
that would probably fall under an allowed part performing an illegal function.

you're kidding, right? we never get the CTR.

True... but maybe now that the Integra/RSX is dead and buried Honda will see fit to bring over the CTR. Maybe. There was an online petition circulating recently asking Honda NA to bring it over... but I won't be holding my breath.
Edit & PS:
Then again, with the recent success of the FRS/BRZ maybe Honda will see a lost opportunity? Doubtful though...

That's nice enough to to make a miata guy change sides!

So it looks like the BoD approved every rule on its plate unanimously.

And apparently they have an idea to boost GT Lite numbers with real, credible competition....

So there...I guess the only thing left is to let us race in FV.

Oooooo...I like the inclusion into Prod but that one gives me pause...significantly different prep, significantly different speeds, and significantly different safety regulations...but if the competitors on both sides are OK with it, who am I to complain?
Someone want to count how many groups a NEDIV SSM can compete in now...? I'm running out of digits.

Completely agree...I was stunned to see this. Obviously nobody would expect an IT car to be competitive in another other than regional...er....divisional events where GT cars rarely roam (but could stand to boost the category's yearly numbers, thus saving, say GTL, from the chopping block), but this is as bad an idea as shoe-horning GTL and all their tube frameeness into HP and FP.
You can bet I'm writing against this one.

Understand that the Prod committee asked for this and the CRB and BoD said okay and then is asking the GT committee if they are interested as well. The GT committee can request it or not.
I do not see the goal of this type of thing as just grabbing numbers from uncompetitive cars. As has happened in ST some drivers have double dipped with their IT cars, liked it and started to modify their car to ST specific prep.
If small GT classes are going to grow and survive they will need to be more inclusive with their rules so we did not want them to miss considering this type of opportunity.

Agree. I'm not concerned about the numbers part, it's the difference in performance and safety equipment that gives me pause. I have experience with my STL car in the same group at the GTL cars, and the speed difference can be pretty significant. - GA

It's not all encompassing, yet. However, we are working on that FV thing Gregg mentioned above. I'm thinking Velcro for the fenders might work...
Remember, there are 985,000 NA Miatas out there. Soon we will have a class for each one. All your classes are belong to us!

So what IT cars would be included? What classes?
