Racing is conducted for 1/10th scale
electric powered on road cars, in accordance with the Club’s Rules
and Regulations. Our race calendar is made up of 4 series with each series made up of 5 race
meetings. A race meeting typically has 5 to 6 classes competing, with each class
running in five 6 minute races.
New members compete in the Novice class for a minimum
of 5 race meetings before being able to move up to more competitive and
powerful classes, however this is at the discretion of the Committee. A
Novice would progress to Pro Tourer before being able to
compete in the F1, 21.5Turn, 13.5Turn classes. The Committee
assess a driver’s skill level and racing ability before allowing
progress through the classes. This is to ensure drivers have the
necessary skill level to compete in the faster more competitive classes,
which can help reduce accident damage to all cars. During your race,
other drivers act as marshals around the track to keep the cars on all 4
wheels after crashes and excursions off the track that do occur. All
drivers perform marshalling duties throughout a race meeting.

The club has all the up to date equipment to run race
meetings. The Club's lap top runs a software program
that is hooked to an electronic decoder, an amplifier and speakers. Each
driver’s car information (Driver, Class, Radio Frequency, Transponder
Number) is loaded into the race software (Alycat) and once the meeting commences,
the computer runs the day, announcing the next race in the schedule,
calling drivers to the grid and marshals to position, announcing
finishing positions and generally making life easy for the Race
Director. Each car has a Transponder (AMBrc type) fitted and there is a wire (called
a Loop) embedded in the track surface that electronically
records each transponder that crosses the “loop”. All the information is
taken into the race software and records car details, laps completed and
lap times. At the end of each race, all the details are displayed on a
monitor for drivers to view and following each race meeting, results are
posted on our website.
