Classes

Classes

In order to maintain fairness, when dealing with a diverse range of cars from the early 1980's or earlier to cars less than 10 years old, Monoposto has multiple classes to ensure that drivers are competing for championships against cars of broadly similar specifications, ages, power and performance.

Each car is asked to display idenfication stickers denoting their class - these take the form of a coloured shape, located adjacent to the race number, that is clearly visible from a distance.

The current classes are shown below:-
