Class Amalgamation Should the number of cars entered in one of the classes be below four (4) at the entry closing date, the class concerned may be amalgamated to the next most suitable class by the SM in consultation with the ED. Replacement Cars Following the commencement of the first qualifying session, any car that has been entered to compete may not be replaced with another car. Rotary and/or Forced Induction Engines The capacity for rotary and/or forced induction (turbo charged or supercharged) engine cars will be calculated using the method of calculation as detailed in NCR 13: NCR 13. Cylinder Capacity (i) Nominal Cylinder Capacity (a) Reciprocating engine (spark ignition and compression ignition): The volume generated in the cylinder/s by the stroke of the piston/s. This volume is expressed in cubic centimetres and for all calculations relating to cylinder capacity the value of the symbol π shall be 3.1416. (b) Rotary Combustion (Wankel-type) engine: The nominal engine capacity will be calculated by the following formula: 1.8 times the volume determined by subtracting the minimum capacity of the working chamber/s from its/their maximum capacity, unless otherwise specified in Group technical regulations. (ii) Supercharger: A mechanical device capable of producing positive (above atmospheric) pressure in the induction system, ie, any device which effects a measurable increase in the BMEP. An air duct which delivers air to the engine intake is not considered to be a supercharger. (iii) Effective Cylinder Capacity (Spark Ignition Engine): Unless specifically noted otherwise, Where the spark ignition engine of an automobile includes a supercharger, the nominal cylinder capacity shall be multiplied by a factor of 1.7 and the automobile shall be classified for all purposes by the effective cylinder capacity thus obtained. 6





1.7.8

(iv) Effective Cylinder Capacity (Compression Ignition Engine): Unless specifically noted otherwise where the compression ignition engine of a car includes a supercharger, the nominal cylinder capacity shall be multiplied by a factor of 1.5 and the automobile shall be classified for all purposes by the effective cylinder capacity thus obtained. In the interest of fair competition, where a car is significantly faster than other cars in its class, the Organiser, at their sole discretion, may review the situation and reallocate the car/s to another class subject to Stewards approval.

Technical Regulations CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL 1.1

Preamble 1.1.1 The intent of these regulations is to allow each competitor entered in the 10 Hours of Sydney race to appropriately prepare a production based automobile for competition. The specific purpose of each of the freedoms granted within these regulations is to provide for safe and cost effective competition by increasing serviceability and reducing maintenance costs whilst maintaining the inherent strengths or weaknesses of individual makes/models. 1.1.2 Definition The 10 Hours of Sydney is for appropriately modified production touring cars and production sports cars that the average Australian household may aspire to own. Each make/model of car that is eligible to compete must be representative of the normal everyday cars that appear on Australian roads. Late model GT3 sports cars and highly modified ‘silhouette’ race cars are not permitted to enter. 1.1.3 Permitted Modifications 1.1.3.1 Each car must remain unmodified in respect of the standard production make/model as supplied by the original vehicle manufacturer, except for the freedoms permitted by these Regulations. Any modification or tuning practice which is not specifically permitted by these regulations is not permitted. 1.1.3.2 In addition to the above, the only work which may be carried out on the automobile is that necessary for normal servicing, or for the replacement of worn or damaged parts by standard parts. 1.1.3.3 The use of carbon fibre, carbon/Kevlar® composites, ceramic materials or titanium alloys, is not permitted unless such component/material was fitted/used as a standard part by the manufacturer, or its use is otherwise specifically permitted in these regulations. 1.1.3.4 In all circumstances the primary function of any component, even if all or part of its design is free, is the overriding factor in determining its compliance with these regulations. Any secondary function/s that are not specifically permitted by these regulations are not permitted. 1.1.3.5 The bodywork must cover all mechanical components when seen from above or from the side. Bodywork must be contiguous. Bodywork, joints and/or seams must not be taped or covered. Seam welding is permitted provided no metal is added.
