AWD multiplier?

[John Cassidy]

I've been looking in my CARS rulebook and can't find the multiplier for AWD in the production class? We have a 1.8L, 16v Subaru Impreza, and I'm not sure what P class it fits in.

Any help is appreciated! John

Someone please back me up on this (Adrian?), but I'm pretty sure this is accurate:

- There isn't a multiplier for AWD or 4WD in production any more - in Production, the only multipliers are1.7 for a turbo/supercharger and 1.5 for a rotary engine.

- for a displacement of 1.8 l, the adjusted displacement would be 3.06 l for turbo, 1.8 l for normally aspirated.

- the magic number that you'd have to worry about is 2.0 l, which is the upper limit of P3 and the lower limit of P4, so...

- A 1.8 l displacement would put you into P3 if it's normally aspirated, P4 if it's turbocharged.

The displacement limits & adjustments are covered under B.II.D.10, and the Production classes are dealt with under B.II.G.3.

Please note that what I said about multipliers is only true for production - there are still others for Group 2.

Thanks Jeff! I went through the book multiple times and didn't seen a multiplier, just references to, "adjusted displacment."

Cheers! John
