New class ?
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 7:22 am
You guys know that I'm a proponent of low or no-mag racing but I'd be reluctant to change the present regulations in any class now as most of us have spent time and effort to set up cars to suit. What I would love to see however, is a new no-magnet class which would be easy and fairly economical to set up as cars would be relatively standard. My proposal would be as follows:
Car type: GT cars of any make with motors rated at maximum of (for example) 22,000 rpm .
Chip: Scalextric DPR or F1.
Tyres: Free (this would allow silicones or urethanes to partially compensate for the loss of magnetic downforce).
Modifications allowed: None except for those necessary to mount digital chip.
All other standard FRC regulations should apply, ie. driver figure should be fitted, addition of weight is allowed etc.
Instead of GT, class could be for standard LMP, AM, Saloon, F1 etc. cars.
Any thoughts ?
