Racing this Thursday (16th March)

Post by gordon »

Hi Guys,

FRC will be open for practice, testing and racing from 7:30 PM this Thursday (16th March) for our 2017 Group A classes, Nissan Super Series IROC (avg of 6 races), Modified Production (3 races), Restricted GT (3 races).

Remember that we try to start our events no later than 8:30PM sharp. Here's the usual schedule:
  • Free practice and testing up to 8:30 PM
  • 8:30 PM - Technical Inspection (excluding IROC classes).
  • Qualifying followed by racing. Drivers not ready when called to grid will be replaced by any standby drivers who are ready.
  • Post-race Technical Inspection (if required)
  • After racing - Packing up and liming/old talk (but not too late!).
Key points to pass tech inspection:
  • Modified Production - Motors up to 23,500 RPM; no American muscle/pony cars allowed; 1.0 mm ground clearance (see the "General" section of the class regulations for a picture of how this will be checked in 2017); magnet location restriction if motor exceeds 20,000 RPM; USD rule.
  • Restricted GT - Motors up to 23,500 RPM; 1.0 mm ground clearance (see the "General" section of the class regulations for a picture of how this will be checked in 2017); USD rule.
You can see the 2017 class regulations here and the general racing regulations here.

Don't forget to bring along some refreshments.

Will be there for sure.
Sweet photo of that Alfa Romeo Giulia. I've always loved these cars and the one in the photo is very nice due to its simple colour scheme(livery would be too fancy a term): simple red paint with white roundels for the numbers. Lovely !
