Reminder of our F1 class rules

Post by gordon »

Hi Guys,

"Regulation creep" appears to have resulted in some changes in performance in some cars in the F1 class. I'm reproducing below FRC's F1 regulations, as agreed by us all.

Formula 1:
  1. Body must be modeled after a car which competes in F1 racing. As an interim measure, Indy Car models will also compete in this category.
  2. A single bar magnet and button magnet can be used to improve downforce.
  3. Any tyres may be used.
  4. Standard 18,000 RPM FF motors must be used in F1 models. Indy Car models may use either the standard 18,000 motors or Slot.It 21,500 RPM motors.
Its in your interest to ensure that your F1 cars comply with the class rules. Please pay particular attention to item 4. Non-compliant cars will be excluded from racing.
