If you like you can cut more. It is not allowed to leave the wing bigger than the lower cutting line. It is also not allowed to use any kind of shims between the wing and the wing mount surface to increase the wing height. A minimum roof height will not be checked at the technical inspection.

Any FWD / Super GT Body shells which are available on the market are ALLOWED. Only wing that comes together with the bodyshell can be used, option wings meant for the bodyshell can be used, NO home-made wings allowed.
Important
If we see anybody breaking the rules by racing with the wrong set of tires, with a wrong body shell, or any of the technical regulations, we will delete the best qualifying or final run.
Every driver is responsible for using the equipment according to the rules of the racing class. Excuses like: “I didn`t know”, or like “I just took the wrong body shell from my bag” are not acceptable for us as there is enough time for everybody (on Thursday) to make sure that everything is set up according to the rules!
