2017 Honda Civic Type R
Hello,
This season i have retired my trusty but aging 2009 Civic Si for a 2017 Civic Type R.
I cannot select the car in the Classification tool, assuming it has not been added yet.
Most of the modifications are minor like tires wheels brake pads a rear sway bar and some different springs.
Would love to know where this car is going to be classes so i can start fabricating some stickers haha!
looking forward to 2019!

Shoot an email to rules@comscc.org and they should be able to help you.
I heard they are only allowed in Super Class.![😃](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f603.svg)

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
My guess would be a base class of T70, not sure if the rules alias got back to you but I'd think that's a good fit for the car.
Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
Hi guys. We took care of the points offline. The 2017 Civic Type R comes out to 78.1 points. It'll be in the 2020 Rule Book.

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
Hey,
There must have been some sort of confusion because i am looking at a 2019 civic type r that is registered for NHMS and it is apparently in T60? is it a T60 or T70 car because that changes everything from a classing standpoint....
Thanks!
Eddy

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
Eddy, talk with an event steward on Saturday. The car you are questioning is probably a few 100 lbs over curb weight (so neg points back), and might also be on a tire that gives some points back. So if it was a base assessment of low 70 points, it could be high 60s in points depending on setup.

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
Stock it comes with 245 Conti SportContact 6 (UTQG 240) so that's -7 points for compound and -1.3 for section right there. More points for weight of driver and fluids. It could easily drop into the T60's if it's mostly stock.

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
Will do. Interesting that it started as a 78.1 but now is much lower...

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
That's how the classing works out for all cars. The showroom assessment assumes certain tire section (by class) and compound (zero-point for all cars), and the curb-weight. Because not all gas tanks are full, and not all COMers weigh the same, we also adjust weight. Near-stock cars on street tires will e running below their baseline assessment. My BRZ has 52 points showroom assessment but I'm able to run in T30 with the right tires and competition weight.

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
Gotcha...
I must be doing my weight wrong or have the tires in the wrong category for stock.

Re: 2017 Honda Civic Type R
If your tires aren't specifically listed, use the UTQG number (and tire section) to assess points. If they are listed then use that entry. For weight, you can make a reasonable guess at how much your competition weight exceeds your curb weight by adding your weight and 6 lbs/gallon of fuel. Better to underestimate than overestimate. You can check at a TT next year as COM now has scales!
Email the stewards if you have more questions.
