FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (28th March) for our Group C classes, the fast ones - Modified Production (MP), Restricted GT (RGT), Restricted LMP (RLMP).
We plan to start tech inspection at 8:30 PM, followed by qualifying at 8:50 PM. We're aiming to get through all the competition around 10:30 PM, so we'll be running two 60-lap races each for MP, RGT and RLMP. 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.
- 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.
Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.
