Last LMS season toughts have been raised saying that for a beginning slotracer it is difficult to begin somewhere because of the high level and demanding races. For this reason a new class is created; the Group C. The purpose is to simplify a slotcar and make it more accessible for rookies. In this way the Group C can function as a stepping stone to the endurance races. [url=http://www.slotracinglemans.com/downl/homo_gc.xls]Homologation list group C[/url]
[size=5]Something old, something new[/size]
Technical Control will be very strict on checking body’s on dremeling, sanding etc. Also the parts mentioned in the rules will be thoroughly checked. Lowering the body by raising the wheelarches or cutting of the sides is strictly forbidden.
The idea behind the Group C is to create fun and exciting races without demanding a lot of time or experience from the participants.
