Read out of the published UIM rulebook on 2026-09-08, so confirm anything that decides a purchase. The full note is at the foot of the page.

Running the class

Rider requirements
Riders 40 or more years old under 302.01.05, or over 40 years under 302.01.07.
Championship status
Continental Championship only - NOT a World Championship class.

Read from the same class section as the part answers. The rider side of the sport, tiers, ages, licences and what gets inspected, is set out across the bodies at Racing.

Open questions on this class (2)

Places where the rulebook contradicts itself, or where a figure could not be settled. Nothing in this list is decided, and it sits here rather than in a footnote because it is what you would want before spending money.

  • The age is defined twice, and differently. 302.01.05 lists the class for riders 40 or more years old, while 302.01.07 says riders over 40 years, so a rider aged exactly 40 qualifies under one and not the other. Either way the age counted is the one on 31 December of the relevant year (203.01.01).
  • The one-year national/international experience requirement is stated in 302.01.07 (the Jet Raid/Offshore/Endurance article); whether it governs the circuit Veterans class is unconfirmed.

What the rules say (69 parts)

3 permitted outright, 13 permitted with stated conditions, 51 left open by our reading of the class rather than by a quoted permission and 2 the rules do not settle. Grouped where the same rule gives the same answer, so two "Not legal" groups can sit side by side under different rules.

What each answer below means

The rules do not say
Unanswered. The rules do not settle this, so ask the club before you rely on it.
Legal, with conditions
Keep it, but measure it: the rules permit this part only inside stated limits.
Legal
Keep it. The rules permit this part in this class.
No rule, this is an open class
Probably keep it. The class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms, and this is our reading rather than a permission anybody wrote down.

The rules do not say1 part

No hood article.

No rule, this is an open class1 part

GP1 prints no article on work to the hull, so under its open-list reading a modified OEM hull is free while the craft stays within 280 cm long and 85 cm wide. 501.04.01-03, 501.04.01-04

No rule, this is an open class1 part

No article limits an extension to the hull, so under the open-list reading of GP1 one is free inside the 280 cm overall length, and trim tabs may reach 100 mm past the transom. 501.04.01-03, 501.04.02-05
