| Track | Class | Sessions | Typical gap to class best | Closest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Watkins Glen International (3.40 mi) | T4 | 4 | +5.028s (3.79%) | +3.870s (2.93%) |
Gap is the driver's best lap in a session against the fastest lap in their class in that same session (zero is fastest in class), shown as time lost and as a share of the lap, so conditions cancel out and tracks can be compared. Typical is the median session.

The Club Racing Board does not recommend this change. Coverage with an SFI 37.1 window net is directly dependent on the size
of the driver’s door window opening.

Thank you for your letter. At the time of this response, Enkei RPF01 wheels were in stock at Tire Rack. These are the most
popular wheel on the T4 BRZ. The BOP in T4 is based on the BRZ running 7" wide wheels. Any change to that spec would throw
off the class.

Thank you for your letter. We are sorry about the added expense. The only reason that the BRZ is given a wing, which is unique
in T3, is that the BRZ TS came with that specific one. Requiring the OEM part is consistent with all other wings that exist in T3.

Thank you for your letter. Although your suggestion would help the platform make power, it is not within the scope of the
Touring classes. Additionally, such a change would create a situation where every driver using that spec line would need to
convert to E85 to be competitive. Recent changes were made to the class that should slow down leaders.
#31675 from Luis Goncalves · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The BRZ/FRS/86 has been closely monitored and it's current configuration is the basis for the BOP of
the car.

Thank you for your letter. This is a way to reduce costs, but there are other ways too. Adding this option would muddy the
water by allowing too many alternatives. If it was written in the spec line on day 1, it would be different.
Raceseng cascam camber plates are $450-650. Shocks do not have to be custom. Bilstein B8 shocks are affordable and pretty
good for the money. Not as good as custom, but nobody is making them spent the $.
