A question from Facebook
"a couple of nerdy questions regarding eligible cars. The Ferrari 250GTO is not listed, but both body types (i.e. 1962/64) raced at the Targa in the GT class. The 250LM is listed as a a sports GT but was famously rejected as a production car by the FIA and ran as a prototype? "
And my answer
"I love Nerdy questions. The Ferrari 250GTO is an error, I thought I had listed it. Regarding the 250LM, I am quite happy for you to enter it as a Group 3 car. Unlike the FIA, I am open to bribery, the "Groups & Classes" are meant to put similar "Slot Cars" into competitive groupings. So I am happy to accommodate personal requests for entry cars as long as they fit into the constructional restrictions in the Groups."
I had a similar question by email regarding a Porsche 906 to be entered as a Group 2 Class C car based on a PP chassis. On the basis of it being in the "Spirit of the technical regulations" I have accepted the request.
