LRP TCM Updated Battery rules

The organisers of the 11th annual LRP Touring Car Masters, thats taking place in the Rhein-Neckar-Hall in Eppelheim near Heidelberg from 28th to 30th March have updated their rules regarding the batteries for the Masters class.

Because of multiple requests by drivers the batteries on the 2008 EFRA list are also allowed in the Masters class. The 2008 Efra list is actually effective for races from 1st April 2008 but many drivers already bought these new batteries so we decided to allow them. Go to the LRP site in the link below to find the 2007 and 2008 Efra lists as PDFs. Batteries you can not find on these lists or batteries with other heat shrinks are not allowed in the Masters class.
