Eligibility of Cars:

To provide a safeguard for your investment in a Star Car, all cars will be listed on the Star Register to qualify for racing in this class. When Purchasing a used SC all new owners will need to notify Star Cars ltd to register their name and race number to that car.

Wheels and Tyres:

ROH: Reflex wheels, 15” x 7”

Toyo: R888 Proxis tyres only Size 205 x 50 x 15, 205 x 35 x 17 Tread wear 100 tyres only. Handkook Ventus Z slicks (6 tyres per season) C71 compound only

Racing: No approved Dyno sheet, no racing.

All races will be from a rolling start unless otherwise stipulated. The poll car will set the start pace at 70-80 kph and no accelerating before the lights or flags signal the start, and no passing until you have crossed the start line.

Qualifying: Fastest time will receive 30 points, 2nd fastest 20 points 3rd Fastest 10 points and the rest of the qualifiers to receive 5 points each which go into the round total. Marble draw for the first race, and the second race will be the reverse of the first race grid.

The third and last race will be the highest accumulated points from the first two races starting off the back, ie: the reverse grid with the lowest points scorer for the day off the pole.

New Drivers will start from the back of the grid for the first meeting.

 

Points for each race will be:

The first place will receive 200 points and then each place after that will drop five points to the last place.

1st = 200 points

2nd = 195 points

3rd = 190 points

4th = 185 points 

All starters will accrue points from the race even if they do not finish the race. Points will be allocated to the car that is entered not the driver, allowing substitute drivers to accumulate series points for the car.

Race round winner will be decided by the total points from all three races added together. Round winner will receive 200 points to be added to series points, then down by 5-point increments to last place as per each race above.

Race series winner will be decided by points accumulated over the entire race series. Points will be awarded to all cars racing at the meetings as long as they have entered onto the track under their own power and face the starter, cars arriving that are not deemed to be race ready by the race co-ordinator, will not get points even if they face the starter. The results of all but one round will be tallied for the final result, but the dropped round points may be used to finalise a series winner if there is a draw.

 

Engine Controls:

All engines will have a max 165hp as measured at the rear wheels.

Dyno sheets will be affixed to the car’s log book and be undertaken by an approved dyno operator ( D-Tech Tauranga ). The engine number must be included on the dyno sheet and the engine must retain the seal affixed at time of the dyno. Any broken seals will deem the engine to illegal and will not accrue points for the meeting/meetings it remains unsealed. Any driver has the option to protest a car’s horsepower at a race meeting, a protest fee of $250.00 will be lodged. The Race coordinator will notify the protested driver, on the dummy grid of the final race, and the car in question will be taken directly to the area designated by the class coordinator at the end of the race without any of the car’s crew being able to interfere with it.

If the car is interfered with on the dummy grid or on route to the coordinator all the series points will automatically be stripped.

The car will be taken by the coordinator to an approved class dyno operator and checked, if found to be within the class horsepower limit it will be handed back to the owner.

Note: Only approved Data acquisition systems can be used. Random dyno testing could be undertaken to ensure the legality of all competitors.

If found to be running over the class horsepower limit the owner will incur a Five hundred dollar ($500.00) fine payable on return of the car and the protest lodger will be refunded their fee from this, the remainder will cover costs of the dyno testing and transport etc. If a car is found to be over the horsepower limit the driver of that car will also be stripped of all series points up to that point and have to restrict the engine to comply, then supply a new dyno readout sheet.
