Racing this Thursday 22nd Aug (RC, BTCC, SC)

Post by gordon »

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (22nd August) for our new Group B classes - Rally Car (RC), Scalextric BTCC (BTCC) and Slot.It Challenge (SC).

Here's the schedule:

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.
  • Scalextric BTCC - Must be a Scalextric BTCC car from 2014 onwards; original interior, however VW and MG may have ultra-light substitute; C8515 DPR chip; 18K FC-130 motor; standard axle gear, wheels and axles; magnet(s) in standard location and must pass modified USD (45º) rule; 18mm front/19mm rear minimum tyre diameter; 80gm minimum weight.
  • Slot.It Challenge - Group C Slot.It cars only; single standard Slot.It "non-race" magnet (the one with the grooves); Slot.It tyres.
  • 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.
  • BTCC only - Cars must drop away from a C7016 Scalextric Single Lane Half-straight 175mm that is held still (no shaking) in a position 45º from vertical on the short side (long side must be horizontal). 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.

Hello Gordon & others,

I think on FRC RD276 ~ there’s going to be at least 9 persons (maybe more) competing in the new BTCC class 8-)

There was also a signing up method viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1525 of 15 Scalextric (Honda 6, BMW 6, VW 2 & 1 MG6) model cars in less than 4 weeks plus see a check-list below of the competitor names / models.
  • Gordon / Honda
    Steve / BMW
    O’Brie / Honda
    Luke T / BMW
    Ramesh / Honda
    Luke B / BMW
    Arden / Honda
    Seth / BMW
    Anthony / Honda
    Kenny / BMW
    Devi / Honda
That said, I will ensure and be present plus walking with (remember) the MGT (18-cars) Display Board ...

Hopefully helping to keep all the BTCC slot-cars in one location of a colorful display for stunning photos :D

All the best to everyone racing,

Luke

Looking forward to this meeting very much. Luke, I'd be very happy if nine drivers turned up for the BTCC class. Hopefully some of the non-regulars would also take place in the Rally class.
