Anyone know why the J's Racing team was using a CR wing instead of a J's Racing wing in this race? Seems odd. see the 2:15 mark

I clicked the video and the first shot I see is the back of a naked dude. LOL

I believe it was the class rules for the class they raced in.

Pretty awesome result going against a Radical, AM, 2-11, and Exige

 

Rules and Regulations...

They have to use stock bumpers as well...

I'm not too sure about the full rules and regulations but that's the reason why.

 

i believe the regulation is stock aero.

 

yeah I agree with what is said above. One of the other hot version videos has a good amount of coverage for one of those races and you'll see they run pretty normal size tires, not the usual non-staggered setup like J's runs on just about everything. I'd imagine it's a regulation for the class they are running in. I will say I think that setup looks awesome with the mugen hardtop instead of the oem top.

very cool indeed. cr/type s lip & wing.

thanks for posting/sharing!

 

So if the rules/regulations require stock aero, what do they classify a Mugen hardtop under (which weighs less than an OEM top and is also more aerodynamic friendly)?

 

In the Malaysian N1 Circuit reg. both the OEM and the Mugen top were approved.

Either the Spoon HT was not approved, my best guess being the tail protrudes slightly beyond the trunk violating article 12.3, or it simply didn't clear the CR wing.

 

Maybe since Mugen is a factory tuner its technically factory?
