MONDEO ROD RULES AND SPECS

 

Unless the rules state that you can do it, you CANNOT DO IT
Drivers are reminded that scrutineer checks can be carried out at any time throughout meetings

This is a non-contact formula. It is intended to be a cheap rod formula using a common and readily available car…the ford mondeo; the idea is to keep the rules as basic as possible to get as many cars on track at an affordable cost.
There must be no contact of any sort. Any driver making deliberate contact will receive an immediate black flag and disqualification with further penalties a possibility.

******************************************************

NEW RULE AMMENDMENT

It is the responsibility of the Driver to adhere to the following:

All wheels must have the correct amount and correct type of wheel nuts fitted to all wheels, eg steel wheel nuts for steel wheels and alloy nuts for alloy wheels.Any after market wheels will need to have been advised from manafacter.

The correct amount of wheel nuts for the wheels MUST be fitted to the wheel at all times, this includes that your car must have wheel nuts correctly torqued prior to scruitineering and during racing. You will have to sign at scrutineering to say that you have correctly identified and torqued your wheels to the correct setting.

It is the drivers responsibility to check the torque settings of your wheel fitments and we recommend checking the auto data technical book or auto data direct or the manafacturer of your vehicle to obtain the torque rench settings for the vehicle you intend to use.

Should you change a wheel during racing it is the drivers responsibilty to notify us immediatly once work is complete and you will have to sign again to say that the you have correctly torqued your wheels to the correct settings.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ANY CAR PRESENTED FOR SCRUITINEERING OR PRE/POST RACING WITHOUT CORRECT WHEEL NUTS WILL BE LOADED AND NOT ALOUD TO RACE
