Racing this Thursday 5th Mar (KB, RC, BTCC, SC)
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2020 3:28 pm
Hi Guys,
Its time to get back to racing!
FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (5th March) for our 2020 Group B classes - Kitbash (KB), Rally Car (RC), Scalextric BTCC (BTCC) and Slot.It Challenge (SC).
With four classes scheduled and the plan being two rounds of races (and three rally stages), we'd like to get started as soon as possible. To save time, full tech inspection will only be done on the winner of each class after the races/stages. For classes with the USD rule and ground clearance requirement, we'll check these items for every entrant before the competition begins.
Key points to pass tech inspection:
Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.

See you on the circuit...
