The Lap Differential chart has been updated to include the races on March 17, 2019. Note the addition of the "CAN AM and 60's LE MANS" classes. These two new classes will begin using an "approximate" lap differential until enough races are completed to determine a more accurate lap differential. The 60's Le Mans class is for the older, smaller cars such as the Ford GT-40, Ferrari 330P4, etc., which are not competitive with the latest "Mid-Engine" class cars which are much larger in size. The Can Am class is for the original Can Am cars of the 60's, early 70's. These cars are smaller than the typical modern day mid-engine racing car and thus require a different lap differential in order to have a more level playing field.

Although the D3 Hardbody rules have not added the rules for the Can Am and 60's Le Mans classes, the Porsche 917 series cars will still be assigned to the "Mid-Engine" class. It will not be allowed in the Can Am class since the actual 917 car is very large (82" wide equals 3.41" in 1/24 scale!!!). The original Can Am cars (1966-1973) were much smaller/narrower than present day race cars except for the Porsche 917-30 which raced in 1973 and basically caused the Can Am series to end since it was too advanced/expensive compared to the rest of the field. Too bad, Can Am was a great racing series but Porsche killed it.
