I don't disagree with Eric, but I would add that my overall point is simple whether we're talking about wings or widgets.

The STAC should attempt to keep the rule set as SIMPLE as possible. The less restrictive in terms of specing things and limiting options the better. The more rigid the rule set the more difficult it will be to attract drivers that have a problem or two with their car.

IMO, there should be max standards (Example- 12.5-1 is norm and max in WC) it should be the max in STU. Done. No need to incorporate 20 different VTS sheets and assign ratios on a case by case basis. This is club racing.

If many want a cost effective STU that is a "improved, Improved Touring type car- then build all those limitations into STU lite.
