MSA Rallies Committee to present plans in September
At last week's meeting of the Motor Sports Council (Thursday
15 June), representatives of the MSA Rallies Committee confirmed
that the proposed revision of rule K37 - the technical regulations
for special stage rally cars - will not be presented before
September.
As a result, the earliest date for any regulation changes
to come into effect for new cars will be 1 January 2009, a
year later than was originally envisaged. All existing vehicles
will remain eligible to compete until at least 1 January 2010.
John Richardson, Chairman of the MSA Rallies Committee said:
"While we have made a lot of progress this year and established
the broad principles, the devil as ever is in the detail.
It is a complicated scenario and we need to make sure that
the framework is robust and effective."
