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!

There will be food available – Ness and Kay will be doing bacon (and egg) baps for breakfast at £2.50 (£3) and Jacket potatoes with Chilli or cheese & beans at £6 for lunch.

Results – Week 12

Good morning,

Results for week 12 have been updated.

We’re getting near the end of the championship and there are some great battles going on between the 2WD drivers including 3-way fights to get in to the top ten and top 15 and a 5-way fight for a top-20 position.

Keep the driving (and marshaling) standards up to make sure it’s a clean and fair fight to the end of the championship!

Thanks, All,

Lloyd
