* Note: The Yamaha engines have been removed from the KA4 and KA3 Classes (these become solely IAME KA100 Classes). TAG100 has been removed as a standalone Class.
The Yamaha engines from KA4, KA3 and TAG100 have all been included in their own Class (Chapter 18 YAMAHA). Each State Association will be able to nominate in
State Regulations either the Dunlop DFM tyre or the Bridgestone YDS tyre for the Yamaha Class.

National level events will continue to be conducted on the Prime Tyres.
This is using the National Competition Rules and the State Regulations and Supplementary Regulations to their maximum advantage – where the organisers of each competition want to use them.
The organisers of the State Cup and the various State Trophy events that seem to be developing, would only need to nominate which of the Prime or Option Tyre would be used for their event in the
Supplementary regulations for their event. Noting of course that those Supplementary Regulations must be approved by the State Association.
It is recommended that this Table and the accompanying explanatory statements become incorporated in the 2019 Victorian State Regulations.
