This document contains the DMSB Regulations and special admissions for the Sidecar Class, based on the FIA Regulations. Supplements/ changes/ homologations to/of the technical regulations may be published by the DMSB at any time to ensure a fair competition. Everything that is not expressly authorized in these Regulations is forbidden. Any permitted modifications may not result in any prohibited modifications or infringements of the Regulations . Infringements of the Technical Regulations are covered in the corresponding Championship Regula- tions. 1. Regulations for Class SC F1 and F2 a) The IDM SC is open for F1 sidecars and F2 sidecars, i.e. vehicles with three wheels and 2 of the tracks propelled by a combustion engine and forming a complete, integral unit. They must be driven exclusively by one rider and have a corresponding platform for one passenger. b) Engine Only 4 stroke engines of mass production with a Stocksport homologation are eligible. The engine fitted to the sidecar is decisive for the designation of the manufacturer. Only FIM-homologated or formerly FIM-homologated engines from model year 2009 onwards are permitted in the DMSB-IDM division for F1-SC and F2-SC. c) All components and materials must comply with the used and homologated engine including its components, unless otherwise stated in these Regulations. The machining and/or modification of components through polishing, micro spraying, lightening or through any other means is only authorised if expressly permitted in following.
