Don't forget......

Next week sees the start of the Autumn Championship Series, so get along and let's see some great driving! I think we've now settled on four track layouts that we will use throughout the eight weeks, and these are tracks 13, 15, 19 and 21.

Personal Transponders

We have ordered some MRT personal transponders, and when they arrive (hopefully before next Friday) we will be selling them to Club Members for £35 each. If you want one, see Colin on a Friday night.

Autumn 2008 Championship Series

If you are interested in contributing to a discussion about the next championship, head on over to the Club Forum on RCRaceChat and let us know your views. In particular, we'd like to know which are your favourite 4 track designs so that we can chose some in advance of the series starting!

Personal Transponders

If anyone is thinking they would like to avoid the hassle of remembering to pick up a transponder each race, then why not invest in a PT? We have tried the MRT personal transponders, each of which has 20 different numbers that can be set to avoid any duplication with another driver, and they work perfectly well with our lap counting equipment and they are a lot cheaper than the AMBrc units. We would probably be able to sell on the MRT units at £35 each, whereas the AMBrc ones would be more in the region of £70 each!

Anyone interested should see Colin and let him know so we can judge if it's worth us buying a bulk set (10) or not.

Autumn 2008 Championship Series

Now we are over the holiday season, numbers should start getting back to normal and it's time to start thinking about the Autumn Series! The Autumn Championship will start on Friday 17th October, running for 8 weeks until Friday 5th December. Best 5 results will count towards your final score, so you can drop your worst 3 runs, or simply miss 3 of the weeks!

The format of racing will be the same as every Friday, with 2 x 3 minute qualifiers and 2 x 5 minute finals - not quite sure how we will do the scoring just yet - more to follow on that shortly!

As for the Spring Series, we will allow any pre-glued slick tyre or any treaded rubber tyre. However, for F1 drivers we will be insisting on a control tyre of the STCC tyres and we would encourage all other drivers to use this tyre as a preference. To help with this, the Club will be selling sets of STCC tyres at £17.50 for four tyres, a saving of £6 off the normal web price (Thanks Mike!).

Any Stock motor, or 13.5T (or greater) Brushless motor will be allowed for the Championship, as of course will LiPo batteries. A minimum weight of 1500g will be rigidly enforced, especially for those running LiPo cells.

Cars will be scrutineered (especially weight) during the series, just to check everyone is playing fair!

At the end of the series, there will be winners for each of F1, F2 and F3 - so everyone has the chance of a trophy.

Formula’s

The formula’s have been updated slightly to take into account new drivers, and you can check out the link below to see who's where:

The Championship is a good opportunity to show how well your driving has improved during the year, and everyone's "ability" levels will be re-assessed during the series which may influence where you start in the qualifying heats on a Friday. It will also be an opportunity to move up a formula if you do well enough!
