Are these new classes offered in SBI? If so where can I find the rules specifically for the SuperSport class and with the title of the press release being "SBI races in Europe" where can we find the SBI European schedule?

For 2012 we are looking into the option of racing abroad as well as in the US and would like to know what options are available.

Thanks in advance

as far as i know, the supersport would run P3 here and in europe its a HP to weight, min 33 feet twin engines only avrg speed 85 ?! 95% sure.

The Spirit, will probably run in P1 or Super V unlimited here ?!

That would be my guess..and i think its a cool step for racing !
