race rules
I enter the thread late, but i could explain the rules for the 280ZX
But first, why a 280ZX 2+2?, because, there are no more ZX coupé in France, only 20 were sell here so find one is difficult, find a good one is a little more difficult!!!!
In my opinion, the zx is not a good choice for racing because of weight, and concidering the rules for a group 1 car, nothing could be take out for saving weight....
so the car will not be competitive in Touring
the car must follow the rules of appendix j of the period so appendix J 1981, if i am right
in GR1,
