BoP Lab / Drivers / Ryan Upham
Against the front of the class, by track and class
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.

Letters to Fastrack
T1 Allowance of OEM E92 V8 and DCT Trans in E46 M3
#32016 from Ryan Upham · No action required · Minutes (2022-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. Under the current rules, the E46 is allowed a 4000cc engine. OEM transmissions are allowed without
penalty as long as they're limited to 6 forward speeds.
T1 Request addition of BMW factory DCT trans for E46 M3 with 4.0 v8.
#31512 from Ryan Upham · No action required · Minutes (2022-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. NON OEM or alternative DCT transmissions are already permitted in T1 Full Prep. Please see
9.1.9.1.M.4.
T2 Request older chassis aero BOP
#31511 from Ryan Upham · Not recommended · Minutes (2022-01 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The TAC does not support adding a wing or aero allowances to any T2 cars. The allowance on the 996
is grandfathered, since it has been on the car in T2 for a very long time to allow this car to continue to compete. The E46 doesn't
need an aero allowance to be competitive.
