WHAT WE RACE

For 2022 we're running GT12 cars as our primary race class. During school holidays we also try to run an extra Junior class on a run what-you-brung basis.

Lap Timing

We use an analogue AMB20 system for lap timing and hand out transponders to each racer for the night. Please remember to hand them back before you leave!!
These are powered transponders so you will need a spare socket on your receiver to power it. We supply Velcro if needed to allow you to fix the transponder into your chassis. Simples!

Heats & Finals

We will generally run 3 heats and a single final.
All heats are 5 mins duration, whilst the finals run to 6 mins.
We occasionally run 3 heats and 2 finals if it's a quiet night, but only the first final will count for championship points. The 2nd final would generally be run as a reversed grid - just to make it more fun...

GT12 Class

Any 1S/4cell GT12 chassis is allowed, using BRCA GT12 regs as a guide, although the only regulations we strictly apply for Championship Points are:
- Minimum weight limit of 950g, all up race-weight including transponder.
- "Blinky" esc timing only.
- We assume 13.5T motors, no lower turn motors allowed. 17.5T is acceptable.
We typically run with four or five cars per heat/final

General Racing Arrangements

We run three 5-minute heats, followed by a single 6-minute final
Your position for the finals is based on your best two heat results.
LiPos or NiMH/NiCd batteries are allowed, but all LiPo charging must be carried out in a LiPo sack, on a non-flammable tile, using a LiPo-compatible charger.
Anyone charging LiPo's beyond the manufacturers suggested C rating will be asked to leave (1C is the expected norm)
Tyre Additive is needed but must be on the BRCA approved list - "Spider Blue" is the current driver preference.
