You don't have to take my word for it. The Regulations are published in pdf format on http://www.barc.net/images/stories/p...F1600_REGS.pdf

The relevant wording is Section 5.2 on Page 9 of the Regulations

If the intention is to allow Pre '90 cars then a change to the Regulations will be required, provided the MSA will permit this.

Incidentally I also note these regulations allow +0.02 rebore on an FF1600 engine. I was surprised to see this as it has been phased out of Classic FF1600 Regulations, and of course isn't legal for mainstream FF1600 engines.


You are quite right - which is why early this morning after seeing this topic I informed the Coordinator of the series and our Pre 90 Rep that the BARC (not our Classic FF1600 Club - we do not write these documents) had got it wrong and we needed the corrections sorted out ASAP.

This series allows all Pre 90 FF1600's - just like it did last year when two different RF89's (John Loebell and Ben Mitchell) won races.

(After my FA73 the RF89 is my favourite FF1600)
