Fairways Racing Complex Forum

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (5th October) for our 2017 Group B classes - Rally Car (RC), Slot.It Challenge (SC), Formula 1 (F1). We'll run special IROC races for newcomers if we have at least two new drivers present.

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.

Will be there for sure !

Hello Gordon and others,

You'll will be seeing me (and maybe boo) tomorrow.

I didn't just want to show up surprising anybody - so letting it be known here.

From your longest and somewhat loyal FRC racer

Mind you - still with no race ready cars ..!

Although I'm thinking about my F1 2005 Renault

I remember it being used (raced) at an FRC F1 event sometime ago

Luke, I'm sure that your F1 Renault is about as race-ready as mine. Time to bring it out !
