ADAC Opel Rallye Cup – Regulations 2015
                                              22
This means that it is now also permitted to affix the badges by switching through all existing
layers of the overalls by using flameproof threat.
This was previously only permitted onto the outermost layer of the overall. The aforementioned
provision exclusively refers to badges sewn onto the overall. The provision that letters or signs
may only be stitched onto the outermost layer is still applicable.

Furthermore, the wearing of a helmet in compliance with the FIA regulations (ISC Appendix L)

Moreover, the use of a head restraint (e.g. HANS) is mandatory.

1.5 General, Permitted Modifications and Installations:

The only work which may be carried out on the cars is that necessary for its normal servicing,

The limits of the modifications and installations allowed are specified hereinafter. Any part worn
through use or accident may only be replaced by an original part identical to the damaged one.

Throughout the car, the attachment standard parts such as: nuts, bolts, washers, lock washers,
spring washer, splint pins may be replaced comparable standard parts complying with the
original shape. With regard to screw threads, thread type, size and pitch (e.g. M8 x 1.25) must
be retained.

1.6 Vehicle Minimum Weights and Ballast

(Weight, determination, reference scales if applicable, attachment of ballast)

The vehicles must at all times during the event comply with the minimum weight of 1240 kg
including driver and co-driver and their equipment (e.g. helmets, HANS systems, headsets,
overalls etc.). This is the actual weight of the vehicles with occupants and without removing or
adding liquids.

Should it become necessary to fix ballast in order to comply with the minimum weight, this is
only permitted by using the weight pans specified in the spare part list with article numbers
1212 882 211 000 0100, or 1212 882 212 000 0100. The pans may be fitted on the left or the
right side below the seats and each one must be fixed to the floor bottom by means of two
bolts M10 (quality 12.9), safety nuts and spacers and they may be completed by additional
weight plates in compliance with the spare part list. The fixation must be able to withstand an
acceleration of at least 25g.

The fixation of the weight pans must be approved at scrutineering before the beginning of the
corresponding event by the scrutineer. Should he give instruction to seal the additional weights,
accordingly prepared bolts for the fixation of seal wire may be obtained from the company
Holzer.

If a vehicle loses a component during the competition which is mandatory in compliance with
the regulations, the weight of this component may be taken into consideration when
establishing the weight the vehicle. After consultation with the permanent scrutineer, it is at the
discretion of the stewards to decide if and which lost component shall be taken into
consideration to establish the weight. An official scrutineering scale will be provided by the
ADAC Opel Rallye Cup organisation during a time window individually specified for each event.

scrutineering.
