2026 Proposed Rule Change for the 2027 Concours Season

Proposed Rule Change

Proposed Rule Change to move the Series 1 1/2 E-Type back to the Series 1 E-Type Judging Class. The reason for this change is because the Series 1 1/2 E-Type body really has more in common with the Series 1 E-Type than the Series 2 E-Type and, as far back as 2020 there have been no Series 1 1/2 E-Types in North American competition and only two Series 1 1/2 E-Types in Regional competition, and that was back in the years 2024 and 2022, none in 2025.

Series 1 E-Type Judges Guide (Due to file size, it is available in 5 parts to be downloaded for review and to be voted on at the IJR. Once approved at the IJF, it will be available on the website for downloading or availabe in a separate email as one gig file. It will also be available in print form for apporximatel $40 plus shipping.)

How To Videos:

Please be advised that this instructional video has not been sanctioned by the JCRC. It is, however, a bold and laudable attempt at illustrating one club's methods of how a certified judge may approach the judging of a 1963 E-type FHC. As such, it is not the only course of actions that another club's CJ would instruct when illustrating the same or similar rules and protocols in action and application as described in the most recent, sanctioned JCNA Judge's Guide.
This video is also NOT an attempt to cover all variants of the Series 1 E-type from 1961 to 1967 as it is,  in some items, specific to the model and year utilized.
It is also NOT to be considered even a partial replacement for the requirement that each certified judge become annually familiar with the contents of the latest JCNA Judge's Guide.
Also, the video does not attempt to cover every item that an experienced certified judge may or may not have had time to judge during the allowed 15 minutes per section mandated by current JCNA rules. If a component was over-looked, it does not mean it should not have been judged, or would not have been judged, if more time had been available.    Obviously, a judge more experienced or more familiar with the year and model would judge more efficiently and thus review more components.
Safe motoring,
Hal Kritzman
CJ, JCNA
Chairman, JCRC
