Although the CRX makes a great CSP car, it will never be seen in STU.
Being the defending CFR Region ST Champ I can tell you that you will
never see a CRX in STU because it`s a two seater. It`s great to see the
addition of both STR and STU classes but these ST classes are for
factory four seat, four seatbelt cars. CRX`S DO NOT QUALIFY FOR ST. The
Civic Si is a different story and I would love to race my VW against
one.
Thanks
