Dallara F308-11 cars, running in Monoposto specification (40mm ride height, 25mm restrictor, 560kg minimum weight), will be eligible to run in our 2023 Tiedeman Championship and in our main Monoposto Championship for the 2024 season onwards. For the 2023 Tiedeman Championship F308-11 cars will run as a separate class. The current Mono F3 class will be reviewed during 2023 to decide the class structure for 2024. Future changes relating to newer F3 cars (post 2011) will be considered for 2027 at the earliest.
Mygale Ecoboost/F4 (2014-21) cars will be allowed for the Monoposto Championships. Initially these cars will be placed in Mono F3 class, with this being reviewed during 2023.
Formula Renault 2000 - engine regulation 5.7.3.5 will be amended to allow the intake restrictor size for current Formula Renault cars in Mono F3 (cars as regulation 5.5.1.3) to be 40mm maximum internal diameter.
The Hyperracer X1 chassis will be added as a Permitted Chassis (for Mono 1400) to those listed in 6.6
The club maintains the right to review and adjust balance of performance factors, such as weight and restrictor size, during the season.
