ROAR issues clarification on TC Body Approval List

Following its announcement on New Touring Car Body Rules earlier this month, ROAR has issued a clarification regarding it Body Approval List. The governing body for RC racing in the United States & Canada, said that while the Avalon Vortex will be removed from the list on December 31st, as it fails to meet the new GBS-II Touring Car rules, there are other bodies that some mistakenly concluded will also be removed. With 4-year approval terms that were due to naturally expire on December 31, 2026, in order to correct this misunderstanding ROAR has automatically extended the expiration date to October 31, 2027 for all legal TC bodies that would have otherwise expired naturally on December 31st. In the clarification ROAR also highlighted that there are other TC bodies that are likely to fail the GBS-II rules, but these bodies have never been submitted to them for inspection so were never on the ROAR-Approved list.
