The decision to approve a change of car is at the absolute discretion of the Stewards. Where the Stewards accept such an application, that acceptance may be given subject to specific conditions. Where the replacement of a car is accepted after Qualifying it will normally be on condition that the car starts the race from the back of the grid. Cars submitted by Porsche AG or USAC may deviate from the Technical Regulations for development purposes. The deviations shall be referred for approval by USAC before the car is used and shall not involve any safety-critical modifications. 2.2 Principles of the Technical Regulations In accordance with: ☒ Art. 251 and 277 (Group EII-SH) of Appendix J (FIA ISC) ☒ These Technical Regulations ☒ Technical manuals of the eligible cars ☒ Technical information of Porsche Motorsport North America ☒ Software information of Porsche Motorsport North America ☒ Spare parts catalogues of the eligible cars Should there be any discrepancy between the provisions of these Technical Regulations and any relevant Technical Manual, Technical Information, Software Information or Parts Catalogue, then these Technical Regulations will take precedence.
