— “Factory stock” Carrera GT Class: WEC /IMSA – year range TBD but definitely no cars prior to 2013. I will be sharing more details during the club meeting.
I’m ready to share the details:
“Factory Stock” Carrera GT Class (2015 to 2017):
– Analog models without magnet + stock everything (wheels, motor, gears, etc).
– CG Slotcars Carrera guide adapter + Slot.it wood guide.
– NSR 5230 Supergrip (20.5 x11) rear tires + Stock front tires.
– Polarity switch can be removed and wiring replaced.
– Chassis sanding is allowed for float but gap should not be larger than the thickness of a credit card.Models:
— Aston Martin Vantage V12
— Audi R8 LMS
— BMW M6 GTLM
— Chevrolet Corvette CR7
— Ferrari 458
— Ferrari 488
— Ford GT RC
— Lamborguini Huracan
Additional details:Are you crazy? Stock gearing, plastic wheels??
Ok, as far as the plastic wheels go — yeah, we need to give it a try. I have checked the wheels of 10 or so Carrera cars I have purchased in the past 4 to 5 years and found all to be round and centered.
Now, instead of changing the car gearing, each racer will be able to change the voltage of their lanes. We would still be limited to the power supply range (6 to 16 volts) but that is plenty to allow all cars, regardless of weight, to reach their maximum potential.

FYI: Inspection will require body OFF.
I will not disqualify any competitor for irregular cars but each irregularity will cost 5 laps. If it is not explicitly allowed in the rules – don’t mess with it.

Changing rules to allow 15.8 to 16.5mm wheels.
Have not made my mind regarding tires but I’m leaning towards not allowing Slot.it’s zero grips — too wide.

Guide may not project beyond the body when aligned for straight, as viewed from directly above. Exception to the rule applies to the guide keel (only).
The rule is to prevent guides being mounted beyond the body but still allowing guides, such as Scaleauto’s, where the keel go past the forward most point of the base, to be used.
As per voting during the club’s February 2017 meeting, the sidecar series has been cancelled and will be replaced by Touring Cars (BTCC) based on Scalextric.
The BRM Sidecar rules page will not be listed in the 2017 race rules menu but will stay published on the club’s website for reference. The page can be accessed via this link: http://austinslotcarclub.com/2017-racing-series/2017-brm-sidecars/.
