Proposed FRC Scalextric BTCC class

[gordon]

For everyone interested in the BTCC class, here are some measurements taken of my recently-acquired, out-the-box Honda Civic:

• Body weight with interior: 24.9gm
• Interior weight: 9gm
• Complete car weight: 74gm
• Front wheel/tyre diameter: 19.5mm
• Rear wheel/tyre diameter: 19.57mm
• Front track: 58.4mm
• Rear track: 56.4mm
• Ground clearance under magnet: Just under 1.0mm on a Scalextric Sport track. Inteferance fit of the 1.0mm gauge on a completely flat setup block.

This type of information assists with refining the proposed regulations above.

Thanks for the specs above Gordon but Rear Track measurement looking incorrect ..?

It's 100% correct Luke.

Alright Gordon but noticed the Scalextric specs at 58mm

So, to see 56.4mm on your list, it had me wondering ...

You do have some other measurements slightly over - however the weight of car is spot on

[gordon]

The lengths were all measured with a digital caliper and the weights with a digital scale, so they're pretty accurate.

Wouldn’t doubt your calculations (in the least bit) Gordon ... and now think Scalextric should check on their measurement department
