Well well well. The 107cc bit is now missing from the proposed amendment, if it was ever there. "If" it was ever proposed, and I have never seen it, you would think the proposer would have meant to allow increased capacity and retained the other advantages of the original F4 H2O 2T. If not then whoever proposed it is an idiot. Having said that, going that little bit bigger, retaining H2O, but being restricted to a 24mm carb is not such a silly trade-off.
KT pistons with their miniscule oversize steps, watercooling, smaller capacity than the air-cooled 125 2Ts, and the same carb restriction. Essentially it would end up being a trade between 20cc and watercooling.
The 107cc thing is near the bottom of page 9.
This is the original that I downloaded and posted on here yesterday.
Probably affects Kart Track people the most, but Bucketeers better take a look at the crashing during a race proposed changes, page 4, 22.1.3 and have your say or there will be no coming back from a crash and winning the GP or finishing the 2 hour in the future, no matter how talented the ride.
None of them will be working by now
Don't you look at my accountant.

Read the last line, no wonder there is so much trouble with the rules, nobody reads them

My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues
Chapter 22 – Road Racing
22.1.3 – All machines that crash during practice, qualifying or racing cannot continue that session. At the end of that session crashed machines must be delivered to the Machine Examiners for re-examination and Gear Check before re-entering the circuit. Riders that continue after crashing must be reported to the Clerk of the Course.
New rules, man someone has done a fair bit of work..
I wander how long until they force the integral belly pan / lower fairing oil tray into buckets...
4.5l catch requirements might be a little over the top though, unless they think you might catch all the oil from the entire front row of the grid...
Then there is the engine casing protection rules being added across the classes.
If these rules pass for the bigger classes (which they likely will), expect the trickle down effect over the next couple of years. Maybe time to start thinking about how you would apply those rules in the future...
Even suggest/remit a sensible set of parallel rules, before they are forced.....
oops, was only looking at the rule and not the appendix.
In regards to proposed rule change:
22.1.3 – All machines that crash during practice, qualifying or racing cannot continue that session. At the end of that session crashed machines must be delivered to the Machine Examiners for reexamination and Gear Check before re-entering the circuit. Riders that continue after crashing must be reported to the Clerk of the Course.
I think this is a good change for the safety of riders and I do support it overall, particularly on large and fast tracks.
APPLICATION TO BUCKET RACING
There has been discussion around bucket riders about how this applies to the racing we do. Currently any crashed bucket needs to be removed from the track and be inspected before being allowed to continue the session. This is because most cashes are low level crashes, mainly slow low sides. Any major crash red flags the race like normal.
This rule change will likely have no real affect to our normal sprint races but will have a considerable affect to races like the 2 hour endurance race and the 40 lap Grand Prix we run every year. It is common for riders to come off, have their bike checked, and still complete the race. Sometimes they even come back and win the race still.
PROPOSED UPDATE TO THE RULE CHANGE
After discussion amongst the bucket community, we propose that this rule come with an exception for miniature road racing for races run only on go kart tracks. or other small low speed venues such as car parks, airfields etc.
22.1.3a - Rule 22.1.3 does not apply to miniature road races held on go-kart race tracks or similar small and low speed racing venues. In this case, all machines that crash during a practice, qualifying or racing must be checked by the designated official before recommencing the session.
That's a bad definition. Running off the track a bit would count. Or a counter would be "oh I intended to do that"
