Gooing -

-Sedan Classes (Group 10, Group 12 Sedans)
- The track will be conditioned by the race director prior to the commencement of qualifying and as deemed necessary between races. No other traction compounds may be applied to the track. It has been found that the use of natural rubber compound tyres leads to a buildup of rubber on the track which can make racing conditions most unpredictable. If this should occur the race director may choose to clean and condition the affected areas between races.

-Wing Classes (Group 20, Group 15, Group 27, Open / Group7)
- Traction compounds may be applied to the track in the designated zones before racing and during lane changes. Rolling or padding traction compound beyond designated zone is not permitted. traction compounds may be removed while racing is in progress but only by the driver. Care must be taken not to interfere with cars on other lanes.
