Racing this Thursday 17th August

Post by gordon »

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (17th August) for our 2017 Group B classes - Rally Car (RC), Slot.It Challenge (SC), Formula 1 (F1).

We plan to start at 8:30PM sharp. Here's the usual schedule:
  • Free practice and testing up to 8:30 PM
  • 8:30 PM - Technical Inspection (excluding IROC classes).
  • Qualifying followed by racing. Drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any standby drivers who are ready.
  • Post-race Technical Inspection (if required)
  • After racing - Packing up and liming/old talk (but not too late!).
Key points to pass tech inspection:
  • Rally Car - If visible, interior must have both driver and navigator figures (heads minimum); no traction magnets; "Magnet-effect" motors are not allowed.
  • Slot.It Challenge - Group C Slot.It cars only; single standard Slot.It "non-race" magnet (the one with the grooves); Slot.It tyres.
  • Formula 1 - Scalextric and Carrera F1 cars only; standard silver-can 18,000 RPM FF motor.
You can see the 2017 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.

Hello all,

Not making this racing event either ~ lots of excitement (that needs my undivided attention) at home ...

However that F1 pic looks spectacular ~ wet (intermediate) tyres moving up to 20 gallons of water per second ..!

Enjoy,

Luke
