PCA SDR

From Grassroots Motorsports:
Check out the shot that accompanies this blog and you’ll notice something. No, not that the driver in the recognizable helmet is handsome and suave, just doing some laps of the Nürburgring on the ol’ expense account.

Well, you might catch that part, too, but the real thing I’m talking about is the windows. Specifically, their upness.

Literally every other country I’ve tracked in has allowed or even encouraged windows up while on track. But here in the good ol’ U.S. of A., all but a scant few clubs and tracks require open windows even in the foulest of atmospheric conditions. I guess my big question here is “Why?”

I often wonder the same thing.

For PCA, the 2025 Minimum Standards have changed a bit regarding window position.
Please see blurb below.

It's too late to propose a rule change for 2025. Maybe 2026?

Window Position / Passing Signals and Procedures

Regions must follow Facility requirements for window position and passing
signals as noted in Facility contract. If no specific requirements are stated,
Regions may choose to utilize either hand signals with windows down or turn
signals with windows up or down for their passing protocol using below standards.
The protocol selected must be used for ALL run groups during the event. If, due
to weather related or other reasons, the Region chooses to switch protocol during
an Event, the switch must be made for all run-groups and a mandatory
Drivers’ Meeting must be held to notify all drivers of this change.
