FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (17th October) for our Group C classes - Modified Production (MP), Restricted GT (RGT), Restricted LMP (RLMP) and Formula 1 (F1).
Here's the schedule:
Key points to pass tech inspection:

For this event, we're allowing FC-130 motors up to 21,500 RPM in Scalextric cars only. This will then be under review as to whether it will be included in the F1 class rules.
- 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.
