2021–NSR Formula 86/89

#17145 "...Getting the (tire wall to wall) to 68mm yesterday was quite a trial..."

REMINDER: the 68MM sidewall-to-sidewall *is* the out-of-the-box spec; as a Limit, Not mandatory minimum.
RULES: have been on the site since January and do not require changes; just Allowed options; and this summer we allowed the Slot.IT crown gears to avoid problems reported by at least one racer. Discussions have been open since January.
Anyone can ran the car stock-as note in #5810 PERFORMANCE, they in general run fairly well out-of-the-box.

#17147 - this note is not germane to the F1 discussion, but I echo Marty. Marc - it would be very cool if you brought some of your projects to ASCC and gave us a "demo" of how to create a body from wood, or how you create a Buck from wood to use for resin or 3DP bodies.

#17145 - " .. This car could have been an excellent class strictly out of the box, as shipped .."
Randy, perhaps the Policar F1 would be a good future candidate for "box-stock" because the reality is that other than the tires, there is Not much at all you can actually change with the Policar modern F1s.

Performance would not match the NSR F1, but it would require significant driver skill to counter-act the engineering and handling challenges of the stock configuration.

Hence - a Policar F1  "drivers series" would be a fun challenge :)

Perhaps you can propose a future "box-stock" series, and be the Series Manager :)
