Hi Guys,

Here's the schedule:

Key points to pass tech inspection:

  • Scalextric BTCC - Must be a Scalextric BTCC car from 2014 onwards; original interior; C8515 DPR chip; 18K FC-130 motor; standard axle gear, wheels and axles; magnet(s) in standard location and must pass modified USD (45º) rule; 18mm front/19mm rear minimum tyre diameter; minimum weight: BMW and Honda: 80gm; MG and VW: 90gm.

  • All cars - must have racing numbers displayed at least on each side. Owners are encouraged to include other realistic-looking decoration on their cars, such as sponsor advertising and number roundels.
  • BTCC only - Cars must drop away from a C7016 Scalextric Single Lane Half-straight 175mm attached to the official FRC 45º USD tester in a position 45º from vertical on the short side (long side must be horizontal). Any weight added to the car must be positioned within 2.5" (64mm) and ahead of the rear axle.
