Thats fair enough...but for all the people that have been going at their cars for a few evenings every here and there for the winter evenings there is still a few changes to be made for the majority of people on a tight time/money budget... real pity this could not have been done sooner...just speaking from a personal point of view as i am not competing this year but have been helping out a fair few people that are...roll on the sessions i say

awesome bolt in cages fia approved are allowed still!!

Would a cusco thru dash cage do the job so? They are built with the proper cold drawn steel and have fia spec joints so I cant see any reason why one would not pass regulations apart from the dash dodgers of course which are definetely banned.

its not fair for them to decide dash dodgers arent allowed at this stage....i havent the money to replace that at this pont and if i had been notified sooner then i could have saved for a through the dash cage.....its a fucking joke

rules should have been out at least a month ago to give people a chance

tbf now in ur case all that needs to be done is make 2 new front legs and weld them to ur hoop, not that expensive it would be madness to change ur whole cage

@ste that's always been the way I had a dash dodger and was told to put in door bars so I copied one of the pro cars went to logging and was told to cut out the bars and reweld them (further weaking the cage) back in a different position was also told to remove roof lining on my car when other cars had that still installed I was still using mine on the road so I said fuck that.
@ jeff nelson man I feel for you it's a right kick in the nuts with the changes as they should have brought out the rules earlier instead of lying to people and delaying for such a long period fortunately for me I was not fully committed to competiting in prodrift as driftfest is now a option
