Fairways Racing Complex Forum

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (17th October) for our Group C classes - Modified Production (MP), Restricted GT (RGT), Restricted LMP (RLMP) and Formula 1 (F1).

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.
• 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. For this event, we're allowing FC-130 motors up to 21,500 RPM in Scalextric cars only. This will then be under review as to whether it will be included in the F1 class rules.
• 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.
