Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (6th July) for our new 2017 Group B classes - Rally Car (RC), Slot.It Challenge (SC), Formula 1 (F1) / Mixed GT (MGT) IROC (3 races/stages each).

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).
  • 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:
  • 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.
  • Formula 1 - Scalextric and Carrera F1 cars only; standard silver-can 18,000 RPM FF motor.
You can see the 2017 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.

Ram, as I saw your comment I just thought that doing rally stages on your new track would be a great but enjoyable challenge!
