A May 23 Tech Bulletin issued by Speedvision World Challenge Technical Director Gary Perry included a competition adjustment to the supercharged Acura NSX, adding an additional 100 lbs. of ballast to the car which swept the Mosport weekend.
This marks the second-straight 100 lb. addition to the car. Peter Cunningham, who has won the last two races and also took the pole and set fast race lap at Mosport, also carries an additional 110 lbs. of REWARDS weight based on his own performance as a driver.
Additionally, the bulletin stated that "All engine exchanges after qualifying will require notification to the Series Technical Director. If an engine change moves the car to another model identified on a separate line on Appendix A, then the car will lose the qualifying position and will be required to start the race at the back of the grid."
Other items addressed included: the exclusion of additional shock reservoirs and a tire size change for the Audi S4 Competition from 245/40R18 to 265/35R18 with the addition of 50 lbs. of ballast.
