Regs Interpretation Help!
Discussion
Can anyone who understands regs and the Blue Book please help me out.
I am starting my first season in the North West Sports and Saloons.
I am entering Class F.
A new addition to the regs is as follows:
It is a mandatory requirement for all cars to fit drivers side reinforcement members in accordance with K1.3.5
Now, K1.3.5 states:
1.3.5. Optional Reinforcement of Rollcage. The diameter, thickness and material of reinforcements
must be as defined in 1.3. They must be either welded
in position or installed by means of demountable joints.
Reinforcement tubes must not be attached to the
bodyshell.
(a) Transverse Reinforcing Members:
The fitting of two transverse members as shown in
drawing K9 is permitted. The transverse member
fixed to the front rollbar must not encroach upon
the space reserved for the driver or co-driver. It
must be placed as high as possible but its lower
edge must not be higher than the top of the
dashboard.
(b) Doorbars (for side protection):
Longitudinal members must be fitted at each side
of the vehicle (see drawings K9 and K12). They
may be removable.
The side protection must be as high as possible
but not higher than one half of the total height of
the door aperture measured from its base.
(c) Roof Reinforcement:
Reinforcing the upper part of the rollcage by
adding members as shown in drawing K10 is
permitted.
(d) Reinforcement of bends and junctions:
The reinforcement of the junction between the
main rollbar or the front rollbar and the
longitudinal members is permitted as shown in
drawing K12 as is the reinforcement of the top
rear bends of the lateral rollbars.
I have been told that one interpretation of this regulation is that there should be two door bars on the driver's side. But i just can't see it within that text!
Why can't they make it simple to read??
