I've got a set of the regulations for the Nova Rallycross Challenge somewhere, I'll try and dig them out.

There Rallycross cars so i doubt any are running a standard GTE lump...I could be wrong though as I was only a nipper back in 1990

That brings back memorys :)
Used to follow rallycross quiute a bit back then,i remember one meeting at
croft where the challenge cars were just rolling over for fun.Think 7 rolled over in one day the problem being useless suspension which started off soft and gradually got harder the more you threw the car around.lol
