Testing Restrictions: Unless permitted by the Championship Coordinator, testing for Ginetta Junior competitors is strictly controlled by the following restrictions:

• Testing after the last race of the 2018 Championship is unrestricted until the Ginetta Media Day taking place at Brands Hatch on 21st March 2019. • After the 21st March 2019, testing will only be permitted at venues that host a meeting of the 2019 Championship after the meeting has taken place, with the exception of the above listed Ginetta test days. (Ginetta reserve the right to add additional test days during the season with a minimum of two weeks’ notice). • Additional to the Ginetta exclusive test days, competitors can nominate one additional test day at the Championship venue prior to the race meeting. These nominations must be logged with the Championship Coordinator in writing at least one week prior to the test taking place. • Testing is unrestricted at non-Championship venues, and Championship venues after the race meeting has taken place. • Any breach of the testing regulations will result in the following penalties being applied to the competitor as liquidated damages for breach of contract: o Loss if 100 Championship Points o £5,000 fine

Air Temperature Sensor A revised Air Temperature sensor must be fitted to all cars competing in the 2019 Championship. The sensor kit will be available from the Ginetta parts department in the coming weeks.

Radiators Only the ‘hot climate’ version of the G40 radiator may be used for the 2019 season onwards, part number G40-P0017. The radiator fan 10” part no G40-P0016 must be fitted. This is the only eligible fan, and must be fitted in the centre of the radiator.

Spark Plugs The only eligible spark plugs for use in the engine will be NGK Copper Core Spark Plug Ginetta Part No - GIN- V6-H-0014, or the Motorcraft Platinum AYFS 22P1.

Throttle Pot The throttle potentiometer fitted to the throttle body must be set to read a voltage of between 0.60 and 0.79 volts, when the engine is switched off and the throttle pedal is at its resting position. This will be determined by taking a reading from the ECU software Easimap 6.

Wheel Bearings Wheel bearings must remain as supplied by Ginetta cars, part number G40-C0021, and retain all their original internal parts. The seals must not be modified in anyway. The only permittable modification to the wheel bearing unit will be the removal of the plastic wheel speed sensor plug housing from the rear surface of the unit.

As a reminder:

Championship Launch Day The Championship launch day will take place at Brands Hatch on Thursday 21st March, and will be exclusively for Ginetta Junior and Ginetta GT4 SuperCup drivers. As before, this will also be an opportunity to collect season passes, decal packs, race suits, and offer an opportunity to test with the rest of the field before the start of the season.
