Fairways Racing Complex Forum

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (11th September) for our new Group C classes, Mini Challenge IROC - 6 races @ 20 laps, Rally Car - 3 five-lap stages per car, 1 car at a time. Remember that our events now start no later than 8:30PM sharp. Here's the schedule:

• Free practice and testing up to 8:30 PM
• 8:30 PM SHARP - Qualifying followed by racing. Drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any standby drivers who are ready.
• Winning cars will be checked for compliance with the regulations after the last race for each class (excluding IROC classes)
• After racing - Packing up and liming/old talk (but not too late!).

You can see all the class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Here are the specific Rally Car class regs (blue text indicates any changes for 2014):

Rally Car (RC)

• Body: Must be modeled after a rally car and must comply with General item 2. Windows may be tinted so as not to reveal the cockpit.
• Chassis: Free.
• Interior: Free but if visible must have both driver and navigator figures (heads minimum).
• Digital Chip: Free.
• Motor: 21,500 RPM or lower, based on manufacturer's specifications. "Magnet-effect" motors are not allowed.
• Gearing: Free.
• Motor Pod (where applicable): Free.
• Magnets: No magnets allowed. Any car found to stick (i.e. does not roll/move) to a standard section of Scalextric Sport track when the track is elevated to 45 degrees will be deemed to have failed and not be eligible for use. This can be referred to as the "45º rule".
• Wheels: Free.
• Axles: Free.
• Tyres: Free.
• Guide Flag: Free.
