Winter Series 3 Results

Hi Everyone,

A huge thank you to all of you for supporting the FORCC Winter Series events, we had a fantastic turnout for all 3 rounds and some great racing as a consequence!

The results have now been uploaded so you can all see how you did this weekend and overall in the championship.

We are looking to have another Winter Series, starting towards the end of this year so keep an eye out for the dates.

Thanks Everyone!

FORCC Calendar 2025

Hello Everyone

Here’s the calendar for the championships for 2025.

We’ve made a couple of tweaks to account for the Winter 2024 championship overrun.

Firstly, we will now have 2 non-championship weeks in January – The Spring Championship will start on the 29th January

Second, the Summer championship will be 12 weeks (best 9 of 12 to count)

New Year Racing

Hi all,

Hope you’ve had a lovely Xmas and got all the new cars, hop-ups and chargers(!) that you asked Santa for!

This is just a reminder that there is no racing this week and we return next Wednesday (8th) for the last week of the Championship. Remember that BRCA licences need to be renewed for 2025 and we will be checking during booking-in.

No licence = no racing!

Winter Series Rd2 Info

Evening Everyone,

Just a reminder that doors open at 8am on Sunday for the 2nd round of the FORCC winter series but, if you fancy coming to help set up the track then we will be in the hall from ~6:30AM and there will be a free tea or coffee for your troubles!

We will have a period of open practice before the formal practice rounds and drivers briefing and the racing will start at approximately 9:30AM with a target to finish before 5:30PM.

Tuck shop has been re-stocked and will be open after breakfast. If you have a reusable mug, feel free to bring it along for your tea and coffee to save on the washing up!

We have kindly been leant a decoder from Jamie @Northbourne for the event so here’s hoping for no electronic gremlins.

See you Sunday!

Update 27/11/24

For those that couldn’t make it on Wednesday and as a reminder for those that did, please follow this link to see a summary of the important points that were covered in the driver’s briefing:

In addition, here are some points that I didn’t get a chance to cover:

Rally Class:

  • We have taken the decision to discontinue the rally class – Unfortunately, it no longer fulfils the purpose it was introduced for
  • We will, however, still hold the last event to complete the championship – now moved to 11th December
  • Apologies to those affected and we hope that you can support the other local clubs who run this class

Club rules: Reminder of the rules for new members (and old!)

  • Motors: >7.5T
  • Rear tyres: Schumacher Blocks Yellow

It has come to my attention that some are using motors < 7.5T. You know who you are.

All drivers, from this point onwards, MUST follow this rule. Spot checks will be performed and any non-compliance will result in disqualification from the championship/winter series event.

LiPo charging:

  • Anyone with HV LiPos (LiHV – 8.7v max) MUST only be charged in LiPo mode  (LiPo 8.4v max)

Thanks all for your cooperation, have a good evening and see you next week!
