Background.
The “ARC ...building for
the future” policy document was presented in September 1996 by the ARC
Council. A key part of this policy was that “The regulations will state
any and all variations permitted for all standard vehicle classes and modified
vehicle classes.” Subsequently, a request was put forward by the ARC
secretary at the EGM on Dec. 7th 1996 that the Scrutineering Committee should
revise the rules in order to show what changes to a vehicle are permitted,
rather than those that aren’t. Furthermore, taking a lead from the wording of
the Policy Document, ‘Special’ vehicles would be known as ‘Modified’.
To set a starting point for the
set of regulations, we need to define a “Standard Vehicle” and then list
what alterations, additions, subtractions and component substitutions may be
made. It’s not hard to visualise a standard factory vehicle as one which has
a defined range of engine types and sizes, body style variations, chassis
shape and the transmission and suspension systems that go with them - all
using Land Rover components. This obviously includes a clearly defined set
of bought-in items. In other words, catalogued options / choices only.
The ALRC Vehicle Dimensions
Chart (printed in the ALRC Handbook) lists engines sizes and physical
dimensions for most models. The vehicle should have the suspension type as
appropriate and ALL bodywork, windows, bumpers etc. as appropriate for the
model. Changes to gain competitive advantage will be very limited on Standard
Class vehicles but quite wide-ranging for Modified vehicles.
So having defined a “Standard
Vehicle”:-
A) The Standard Class regulations consist of practically no major
“competitive advantage” alterations but may define a wide range of minor
ones and some component substitutions or service replacement items.
B)
The Modified Class regulations
list further alterations and component substitutions that are allowed
to be carried out on a Standard Class vehicle.
The regulations are divided into the following
layout:-
Part 1 General Vehicle Regulations *
(Structure and equipment of all vehicles.)
Part 2 Event-Specific Vehicle Regulations *
(Structure and equipment of vehicles specific to defined events.)
Part 3 Competition Regulations **
(Describes the manner in which the vehicles compete in events, and the
organisation of those events.)
* (Subject to the full rule change
process)
** (May be changed by vote at an EGM / AGM)
