Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (28th March) for our Group C classes, the fast ones - Modified Production (MP), Restricted GT (RGT), Restricted LMP (RLMP).

We plan to start tech inspection at 8:30 PM, followed by qualifying at 8:50 PM. We're aiming to get through all the competition around 10:30 PM, so we'll be running two 60-lap races each for MP, RGT and RLMP. 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.
  • 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.

Will be there for sure. I suspect we'll be seeing slot versions of the top two cars pictured here. Don't know about the third though.
