Racing this Thursday 5th Dec (MP, RGT, RLMP, F1)

Post by gordon »

POSTPONED TO THURSDAY 9TH JANUARY, 2020

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (5th December) for our Group C classes - Modified Production (MP), Restricted GT (RGT), Restricted LMP (RLMP) and Formula 1 (F1). This will be the last FRC event for 2019, so come and close off the year with us with an evening of fun and enjoyment of our favourite hobby.

Here's the schedule:

Key points to pass tech inspection:
  • Modified Production - Motors up to 23,500 RPM; no American muscle/pony cars allowed; magnet location restriction if motor exceeds 20,000 RPM; USD rule.
  • Restricted GT - Motors up to 23,500 RPM; USD rule.
  • Restricted LMP - Motors up to 25,000 RPM; USD rule.
  • Formula 1 - F1 or F1-type body (must be painted - no unpainted bodies allowed); 63mm maximum width; any motor up to 18,000 RPM; USD rule - magnets must be positioned at least 5.5mm ahead of rear axle; wheels 14mm max diameter without tyres; tyres at least 18mm diameter; rear tyres at least 11mm wide. For this event, we're allowing FC-130 motors up to 21,500 RPM in Scalextric cars only. This will then be under review as to whether it will be included in the F1 class rules.
  • 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.
  • All classes that stipulate the USD rule - Cars must drop away from a flat C7016 Scalextric Single Lane Half-straight 175mm that is held still (no shaking) in an upside-down position. Any weight added to the car must be positioned within 2.5" (64mm) and ahead of the rear axle.
You can see the 2019 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.
