Championshship Regulations require all cars scoring championship points to carry the correct decals / stickers.

In 2008 these will be enforced and there will be no exceptions!

No Decals = No Points

All cars must clearly display :

3 Alfashop Championship
Number panels

2 Alfashop decals

ARCA decals & BRSCC decals
on each side of the car

Toyo decals

2 alfaracer.com decals

whilst not compulsory we would also request that all drivers take note of regulation 6.2.2 B and have the drivers surname clearly displayed in the rear side windows.

MSA Rule Chages For 2006

Please be aware of a number of new regulations for 2006. In particular regarding:

• FIA Approved Harnesses
  
• FIA Approved Fire Extinguishers
  
• Race Suit Approval
  
• Crash Helmet Standards

Please make sure you are aware of these before you consider racing in 2006

See Details on the Right

Fog Lights

In 2005 a number of competitors cars did not conform to MSA regulation 5 in Section Q of the MSA yearbook.

Many production based cars have just one rear red warning light (a fog light) on one side of the vehicle - this does not meet the regulations.

If you only have one fog light it must be mounted within 10cm of the centre line of the vehicle.

Can No Longer Be Used

The following information has
been issued by the BRSCC::

REMINDER TO ALL CHRONIT TRANSPONDERS OWNERS

Can we remind you that transponders manufactured by Chronit Solutions (orange in colour) will not be compatible with the various timing systems in the UK from the forthcoming 2006 season. Competitors MUST replace these transponders with an AMB TranX260 transponder prior to the start of the new season. Transponders now form the basis of identifying competition vehicles on track both in bikes and cars events. Transponder numbers must be quoted on all entry forms to assist and reduce administration time prior to and during events.

Some of the 2006 MSA Changes in More Detail

A number of the MSA "Blue Book" regulations for all UK championships changed at the start of 2006.

These particularly apply to some of the standards of safety equiptment required to compete in all Championships including the 2006 Alfa Romeo Championship.

If you did not race in 2006 but intend to in 2007 then please make sure your car complies with these regulations.

Please be aware that if your car and safety equiptment does not comply then you will not be able to race in 2007.

If you are aware of any significant changes for 2007 please let me know details and the source of your information. Email them to unabated@tesco.net

Periods A - E and A - F as referred to in the following extracts from the 2006 Blue Book refer to cars built up to dates in the 1960's - See the details for "Period Defined Vehicles (Non Rally)" in Section P on page 223 of the 2006 Yearbook.

Safety Harness

From 1st January 2006, all harnesses used in MSA events must be FIA homologated.

A label clearly identifies a "Not Valid After" date. Once this date has passed , the harness is no longer FIA homologated.

2006 MSA Competitors' Yearbook

The critical section in the 2006 "Blue Book" is Section J Paragraph 20.14.2 - "Be fitted with currently FIA homologated safety harness to be worn at all times by the driver during training, practice and competition unless the vehicle was constructed in periods A to E."

Fire Extinguisher

From 1st January 2006, cars competing in the Alfa Romeo Championship require a plumbed-in fire extinguisher system with a minimum capacity of 2.25-litre AFFF.

2006 MSA Competitors' Yearbook

The critical section in the 2006 "Blue Book" is Section J Paragraph 20.14.7 - "Vehicles of Periods A-F be equipped with a fire extinguisher in accordance with Q 3.1.2 (b). Other vehicles be equipped with a fire extinguisher in accordance with Q 3.1.2 (a)"

Section Q 3.2.1 (a) - AFFF or Zero 2000 type must be a minimum 2.25 litres and must be "Plumbed-In, for discharge into both cockpit and engine compartment".

Section Q 3.2 states all AFFF systems "must be FIA/MSA homologated"

Crash Helmets

The SNELL SA95 standard is being withdrawn on 31/12/2005

Tip - Check to see if your crash helemt is covered by more than one standard before you throw it away. I have a Bell for which the SNELL rating was withdrawn two years ago but I still use is as it is also SFI 31.2A - a standard that is still approved. Check out Q 10.3.1 for current standards.

Seats

During the 2005 season there were rumours that FIA approved and "in date" seats would be required for the 2006 season. This is not the case and the regulations on seats are unchanged.

However we suspect FIA approval will be a requirement soon so if you need to purchase a seat for 2007 our advice would be to make sure you purchase an FIA approved seat manufactured in 2007.

If you plan to compete abroad your safety equiptment including the seat and rollcage must be FIA approved and for seats within date.
