Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (27th April) for our 2017 Group C classes with one exception - instead of the Scalextric GT Challenge IROC class, we're running a special no-magnet "Formula Libre" class (3 races), Rally Car (3 stages of avg of 6 cars), Slot.It Challenge (3 races).

Remember that we try to start our events no later than 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:
  • Formula Libre No-Magnet - Any non-open-wheel (full-bodied) car; no magnets; no high magnet-effect motors.
  • 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.
You can see the 2017 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.
