Great SCOTT!
The SCCA class, Touring 4, is showing positive growth and has a very attractive rule-set for new additions to racing. The cars are modern, the prep limited and the operating costs low; which is all part of the attractiveness.
We thought about adding T4 to Group 5 to attract these SCCA folks and allow the ICSCC drivers building T4 cars a continued place in Conference, however, after studying race/qualifying results from various events and tracks between SCCA and ICSCC it was clear that T4 cars were roughly the same pace as several cars currently in group 5, some of which were racing in a class they are not ideal for (like PRO3 in EIP). It was apparent that the better solution was to create CT4 (conference touring 4) and include all these similarly paced cars.
The CT4 class includes:
The cars would be required to be legal to their respective classes.
If you're running Group 5 this year with one of these cars, please consider racing in the CT4 class. It incorporates multiple classes of similarly paced cars and puts them in 1 class with the potential for sizeable numbers.
