FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (20th September) for our Group C classes - Modified Production (MP), Restricted GT (RGT), Restricted LMP (RLMP).
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). Cars will be moved to the parc fermé location after they are inspected and comply with the requirements.
- 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:
- Modified Production - Motors up to 23,500 RPM; no American muscle/pony cars allowed; 1.0 mm ground clearance (see the "General" section of the class regulations for a picture of how this will be checked); magnet location restriction if motor exceeds 20,000 RPM; USD rule.
- Restricted GT - Motors up to 23,500 RPM; 1.0 mm ground clearance (see the "General" section of the class regulations for a picture of how this will be checked); USD rule.
- Restricted LMP - Motors up to 25,000 RPM; 1.0 mm ground clearance (see the "General" section of the class regulations for a picture of how this will be checked); USD rule.
- All classes that stipulate the USD rule - Cars must drop away from the test block with the block held still (no shaking). Any weight added to the car must be positioned within 2.5" (64mm) and ahead of the rear axle.
Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.
