We at Dunfermline Slot Car Racing Club are hosting a 3 hour endurance event on our 135ft 4-lane wooden track.
This will be a team event, with teams made up of a minimum of 2 drivers, or a maximum of 4 drivers. Since it is a Le Mans style event, where the drivers will compete in 15-minute race sessions in a segmented type race. A segmented race is a 4 race session (once in each of our 4 lanes), so over one segmented race there will be 4 15-minute race sessions. Over the 3 hours of racing that will be 12 15-minute race sessions.
Car regulations for this event for which are eligible is rather simple. Any GT class car is eligible, and no requirements for the cars to have working lights also.
This is to allow a vast array of pre and post-war vehicles to Groups 3,5,6 to Group C to more modern GT1/2/3/4 classes and LM derivative classes to be eligible.
Regulations for all vehicles are as follows:
Motor limts: maximum of 25k long can motors or 28/30k s-can motors dependant on motor pod layout/configuration. Gears and pinions are free choice by teams/builders.
Tyres: Any rubber based trye is allowed along with sponge tyres also (sponge tyres recommended). NO silicon or urethane based tyres allowed at all.
Interiors: Can be standard interior or lexan/lightweight interiors installed within the vehicle.
Back-up cars are allowed should there be any technical issues with cars during the racing.
Race Format rules:
4 x 15-minute segmented heats per hour. Meaning in this 3 hour event, each team will do 12 x 15-minute segmented heats
Cars can be worked on for technical issues during the warm-up and during the segmented race heats. the lane changeover intermissions are only for cleaning your tyres with either a lint roller/tape or with lighter fluid. Any technical work during the intermission will incur lap penalties on that team.
Entry fees are £20 per team, this may increase if more teams get involved and the requirement to change to a 2-day event is required.
Any notice of interest, let myself know and look forward to seeing what vehicles everyone has for this event.
