GT12 BRCA costings rule 6.7

[bertros]

Hi, first post so sorry if this is a FAQ.. looking at getting back into a few races, ideally evenings.

1/12th looks to be the best option here in Scotland. Studying the rules and looking at the set up options this line in the BRCA spiked my interest. Can anyone explain how / what the sentiment is behind it ?

6.7 Rolling chassis kits for the GT12 class may not have a recommended retail price higher than £99.95.

does this mean you can only run stock versions of the chassis available or can you upgrade ? etc

For example - Schumacher Atom CC pro and the Zen are well above this ruling. Whats the score? I may want to run nationals eventually but at the club level I can imagine being left behind running a stock vs top of the line racer. however racing stock all the time would make more sense at the national level.. can anyone help out with this ruling ?

Cheers in advance
