Road & Track: Be Prepared to Spend Hours Looking at Old FIA Homologation Documents

Before I link to this I must tell you I had to look up homologation. Wikipedia helped me out. “In motorsports, homologation is the approval process through which a vehicle, a race track, or a standardised part is required to go for certification to race in a given league or series.” Okay? Now, new-to-me, from Road & Track: Be Prepared to Spend Hours Looking at Old FIA Homologation Documents. “To get a road car homologated for FIA-sanctioned motorsports events, automakers have to submit all sorts of forms detailing everything about the car in question. And interestingly, we just discovered that many of those documents produced between 1956 and 2007 are up for viewing on the FIA’s website. This is pretty much heaven for race-car nerds with lots of time on their hands.” Oh, and FIA? That’s the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile.
