    The AROCA S.A.Supersprint Series (“Supersprint Series”) will consist of events of competition, each hosted by the M.S.C.A. S.A.

1.2    Eligibility to Compete

    Any financial member of AROCA may compete in an event in the Supersprint Series.

1.3    Application of these Regulations

    These Regulations apply to each event in the Supersprint Series. The AROCA SA class definitions below will in no way affect or are affected by the class structure used by the Marque Sports Car Association of S.A.
    It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is entered in the correct MSCA category when entering any events.

2.    VEHICLE TYPE AND CLASS

2.1    Vehicle Type

    (1)    Each vehicle entered by a competitor in an event in the Supersprint Series must be classified by type according to Table One below (“Type”).

    (2)    To qualify for classification as a certain Type, the vehicle must meet the criteria specified for that Type.

    (3)    Any vehicle that is not manufactured by Alfa Romeo is classified as  “Non Alfa” Type with the exception of Alfa Romeo Specials.
        

      This class will have the sub-classes:

        a.    Under 2000cc and
        b.    Over 2000cc
    
    (4)    Alfa Romeo Specials

        1.     Philosophy: for vehicles developed or fabricated using Alfa Romeo components.

        These vehicles may either be;
        a.    Alfa Romeo coachwork with foreign engine or driveline, OR
        b.    Alfa Romeo engine/driveline with foreign coachwork, e.g. Ricciardi
        2.    This class does not have any sub classes, all vehicles  classed equally.    

    (5)    To assist interpretation, the intention of Table One is that vehicles will be classified broadly as follows:

        (a)    Type 1:  unmodified, road registered vehicles.  These are road registered vehicles with no modifications.

        (b)    Type 2(a): slightly modified road registered vehicles.  
        These are road registered vehicles that have been slightly modified but not to the extent that overall the modifications are likely to give significant performance improvements;

            Type 2(b): modified road registered vehicles.
            These are road registered vehicles that have been modified to the extent that overall the modifications are likely to give significant performance improvements.

        (c)    Type 3: vehicles modified for racing.  These are vehicles that have been modified for the purpose of improving performance for racing, but are not modified beyond recognition of the original car; and

        (d)    Type 4: vehicles substantially modified for racing. These are vehicles that have been substantially modified for the purpose of improving performance for racing with most components of the car modified or substituted.

    6.    Despite anything else in these Regulations, a vehicle that does not meet all of the criteria for a Type set out in Table One, may be classified as that Type by the Competition Secretary to achieve the intent of these Regulations as set out in subregulation 2.1(5).  In any such case, the Competition Secretary may request the competitor to modify the vehicle to achieve performance parity with other vehicles of that Type.


2.2    Vehicle Class

    In addition to Type, each vehicle entered by a competitor in an event in the Supersprint Series must be classified into a class as follows.


    CLASS        ENGINE CAPACITY

    A          Less than or equal to 1600cc
    B          1601cc to 2000cc
    C          2001cc to 3000cc
    D         3001cc or greater
