Fairways Racing Complex Forum

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (6th September) for our 2018 Group B classes - Rally Car (RC), Slot.It Challenge (SC), Formula 1 (F1).

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). Cars will be moved to the parc fermé location after they are inspected and comply with the requirements.
• 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 - 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.
• All classes that stipulate the USD rule - Cars must drop away from a 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 2018 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.
