2013 Scalextric GT Series - Q4

Race Control Race Control 14 years ago

I saw these rules posted on SCI and thought they would be a good starting point for this series.

• Must use stock chassis no pod, original chassis.
• Tire width must be the original width and height. Maximum Width is 11mm.
• Motors up to 22400
• Guide flag (Any guide flag is allowed)
• Must have stock interiors.
• Sidewinder drive configuration.
• No lowering body (cutting body post).
• Must have clear glass. (No high impact cars)
• Adjustable front end is allowed.
• All lead must be inside the car.
• You are allowed to file the body to allow for float. Not to reduce weight.
• The car you start a race with you must finish with. You can change cars throughout the race series. If your car breaks down during the race you may fix it or pull out of the race. If you run a new car you will not receive any points for the race.

Thoughts and feedback?

Marty,

There are no mandatory tires for Scalextric GT; the rule change is for the Slot.it Porsche 911 GT1 series, I will post in the appropriate topic.

Ary.

I am good with it as long as Kings will have plenty in stock for everyone to purchase.

Wrong series ...

I'm going nuts.

back at it again i have heard bad things about this one but i really seem to like it

pulling my dib on the jag out after receiving it i noticed it has a very short track!

Wow! You going to fashion in a drop arm guide for the jumps?

Austin is wanting this portal R8

Portal R8

Post removed as I was being stupid.

^ Ahh smarter than the average bear

The Dodge Viper, Mercedes SLR, and Maserati MC12 were removed due to the inline configuration and in the meeting we stated sidewinder configurations only. I've made the changes in the draft rules to reflect this.

Jim,

Motor ratings are in 12Volts.

What voltage is the 22.4K rpm measured at? Will we race at 11v?


Jim J.

should the mercedes SLR be on the list it looks like a gt . just a curiosity question

OK, I have removed the Gallardo GT-R. I specifically went through that list looking for that and I thought I found one that had a full interior. I can't find it now of course.

I have zero issues with the allowing the Aston Martin DBR9 and Audi R8 pro cars. Remember that the rear axle is 3mm and not 3/32, so you can't just put this car together and get different wheels for it.

i guess if we are just throwing in dibs i will call

Jaguar XKR GT3, Apex Racing Team

My vote is to allow the Scalextric Pro cars. They come with all the mechanical parts you would need to fix a regular Scaley at a much lower cost, the drawback is that all Pro cars are white kits and will require painting.

Now, the Lamborghini Gallardo GT-R was only made as a high-impact car - we need to scratch that one from the list.

If we are calling dibs on cars; my car is the Audi R8 Phoenix Racing:

What is the ruling on the Scalextric Pro Performance kits?

Available in Audi R8 and Aston Martin DB9 variants.

Personally, I think they can be allowed, as they seem to be nothing more than a white-kit with a parts bin. Might want to spec the wheels so they are scale...

I reserve the Aston Martin DBR9 #52 Young Driver car. Tongue out

So thats a long list of cars some with multiple liveries we could figure out a reservation system so everyone has a unique car? i dunno just an idea

Here is the first draft of the eligible cars for this series:

Aston Martin DBR9
Jaguar XKR GT3
Audi R8 GT3
Ferrari F430
Chevrolet Corvette C6R
Ford GT/R
Porsche 997/911 GT3 Cup
McLaren MP4-12C GT3
Acura NSX JGTC
Nissan 350Z JGTC
Toyota Supra JGTC
Nissan Slyline R-34 GTR JGTC
Maserati Cambiocorsa Trofeo

I'm open for discussion on any others that I may have missed.
