Double Dutch Digital racing in the Low Lands
Double Dutch Digital racing in the Low Lands
For the 4th time the SRC Eindhoven will host the Dutch Digital event on the renowned Low Lands Suzuka
Ninco track in their spacious club on the Sint Odulphusstraat 2b, 5682 AB Best, the Netherlands. As in 2017
the event will sport a double feature with GT3 racing on the saturday and the Suzuka 6hrs WEC endurance on sunday.
The Low Lands Suzuka Double Digital is a perfect opportunity for all slotracers on the Northern European continent to try
Oxigen racing in an Endurance format and has become the place for the digital regulars to test their cars in preparation for the
Oxygen Le Mans 24hrs in Henley in Arden.
For new teams the organisation can provide technical assistance on how to chip cars during Friday's and Saturday's free practice sessions
and has several Slot.it controllers available for rent, if teams require them.
Suzuka GT3 Support race
As in 2017 the DiSCA GT3 cars with teams of either two or three drivers, will kick off the event on Saturday from 09:00 till 14:00hrs.
There will be one 60 min. Timed Practice session and two 60 min. Races with one mandatory pitstop of 1 minute duration.
Besides the above mentioned, full Disca GT3 rules will
apply for the Suzuka support race.

Suzuka 6hrs WEC, Prologue to the Oxigen Le Mans
24hrs:
With the Suzuka 6hrs run under the same DiSCA WEC Sports Cars rules as used for the Oxigen LM 24hrs, it has proven itself as the perfect oppertunity
for teams to test their cars. for "the Big one". With its banked corners and elevation changes the Suzuka track will bring different challenges for
the teams in both set up and strategy.
Although most teams adapted their cars for Suzuka it was interestring to see that the top 5 at Suzuka all did score good results in the Le Mans
24hrs.
With free practice staring on Friday afternoon there will be plenty of time for teams to check out the track and set-up...or not...time flies when
you're having fun.
Deviations from the DiSCA rulebook
Due to its shorter duration and the inclusion of a (GT3) support race, there will be a few deviations from the DiSCA rulebook for the Suzuka 6hrs main
event.
Teams will be hand out 1 motor at random (Flat-6 or MX-16) These motors have been tested, matched and run in by
Slot.it. Should in the unlikely occasion a motor be defective,
teams will recieve a new one from the organisation.
Teams will be hand out 2 pairs of N18 and 2 pairs of F22 at random. Both compounds must be used during the main race. Hand outs will
be available on Saturday after registering at the race control.
Although teams are free to run their own motors and tyres (of the same type and or compound) during free practice we advise teams to mount their
handouts before the end of free practice
This way you'll be able to hit the ground running on Sunday morning.
If you use this option you will have to place the parts in the Parc Ferme overnight (can also be the whole car, chassis or pod with motor rear axle
and wheels)

Suzuka Double Digital: Provisional Entry List
Hello Slotters
I'm very proud and pleased to be able to post the first provisional entry list for the 2018 Suzuka Double Digital event. Within less than 36hrs
we've recieved 14 team registrations with two teams firmly securing their place on the grid by paying their registration fees in full. Although there
will undoubtly be some changes amongst the cars and drivers in the coming months, it looks like we're going to have a very interesting and
representative grid. No less than 6 GT's, 4 LM P2's and 4 LM P1's, with a new car making their first on track apearance in every class.
Here's a quick preview.
GT
A near perfect combination of the Grand Touring cars, just needs an Aston Martin to make it a perfect one. For DiSCA regulars North Staffs and
S-slotracing for Holland, the Suzuka 6hrs will be the perfect way to get some competion miles on their American Muscle cars. The local SRC Eindhoven
gentleman drivers 50+ will be the first to race the new F488. Dutch Slipstream is most likely to field a Ford GT for their return to Suzuka as a full
club team. Two new Belgium teams will make their debut at Suzuka, Dragonspeed has entered a McLaren 650S and SRCB-Z-machine will be defending
Porsche's colors. The team from Charleroi Belgium certainly knows its way around Suzuka (their Carrera track also has the Suzuka lay-out) and has
loads of digital race experience.
Who will do a proper Aston Martin Vantage GTE, its the only car missing for a perfect GT
grid
LM P2
Looks like the biggest breaktrough of fully 3DP slotcars will be found in this class with 3 totally new designs. Olifer 3D the driving force behind
the design of the British H2Olifer Ligier JSP2 and Portuguese Olifer racing Oreca 07 while last years overall winner Racing for Belgium is working
with SV workz to develop their open topped Oreca 03.
They'll all be challenging 2017 winners Eastcote Exiles who will return with their trusted and well developped Acura HPD ARX-01d. Level of
competition in this class is expeted to be high and even an overall win might not be beyond their reach.
Racing for Belgium hopes to unviel their first 3d printed Oreca 03 in the coming
weeks.
The Hopeful Six stick to their favorite livery, their new mean green machine a Ligier
JSP2..but will race it as a P1
LM P1
In the top tier prototype class we have 4 strong contestants going for the overall victory. Rockingham will return with their Toyota TS030 but with a
hefty development program under their belt.
Stryker racing has switched camps for 2018 moving from Audi to Porsche but will have to miss the guidance of their Team captain who will be on
reporting duty at the Daytona 24hrs.
The Danish Road Kings made a very strong impression at the LM 24hrs, Suzuka will be the first chance to run their new ByKolles CLM P1 in anger.
Last but not least Suzuka and Le Mans regulars Hopeful Six have ditched their green Krohn racing Ferrari 458 for a green Krohn Racing Ligier JSP2
which they will enter in P1
With the 2017 winners and runner up having moved to different classes P1 is going to be an open race.
Danish Road Kings hope that their ByKolles CLM P1 will give them yellow wings
1 S-slotracing for Holland, NL, LM GT, 2017 Corvette C7R #63
2 50+, NL, LM GT, 2016 Ferrari 488 GTE #82
3 Rockingham, GB, LM P1, 2013 Toyota TS030 #4
4 Eastcote Exiles, GB, LM P2, 2011 Acura HPD ARX-01d #36
5 Road Kings, DK, LM P1, 2015 ByKolles CLM P1 #4
6 North Staffs, GB, LM GT, 2013 SRT Viper #93
7 Slipstream, NL, LM GT, 2017 Ford GT #67
8 H2Olifer, GB, LM P2, 2014 Ligier JSP2 #35
9 Dragon Racing, B, ASIAN LMS GT, 2015 McLaren 650S GT3 #3
10 Hopeful Six, GB, LM P1, 2016 Ligier JSP2 # 40
11 Olifer Racing, P, LM P2, 2017 Valliante Oreca 07 #27
12 Racing for Belgium, B, LM P2, 2013 Oreca 03 #40
13 Stryker Racing with Porsche, GB, LM P1, 2017 Porsche 919 #1
14 SRCB Z-Machine, B, LM GT, 2017 Porsche 991 #91
So that's it for now, 14 registrations, just one more place open on the grid after which we'll be adding Teams to the reserve list.
But, as I mentioned before, this list is stil provisional, depending on registration fee's being due by Nov 28th.
Looking forward to see you all in Januari 2018
on behalf of the SRC Eindhoven
with kind regards

Hello Gio,
I have to disappointed you here, that is not the Scaleauto Audi R8.
It’s the SCX Audi R8 with an Olifer chassis.
She will be build to DiSCA GT3 regulations, But unfortunatly due to time shortage wont be finished for the Saturday races.
I do hope to get my hands on a Scaleauto version Audi R8 soon.
With kind regards
Tom van Leekwyck

Argh! I hoped that you were doing some beta testing for them ;-)
I would have said to suggest them to make the fog light covers removable so that one could install LEDs.
On another note, some time ago I saw in your galleries pictures of two porsche 991 RSR: one in the new porsche livery and the other one in the Kodak
red/yellow/black. Are you going to post some writeup about them?
I am planning to do a scaleauto 1/24 991 in that livery...although some details in the model (especially the front end) do not correspond with the
real car.
with kind regards
Gio

So I will have to do that at some time, probably next week or so.

Huracan (and best wishes) from down under
Hi All
I wish you a great 2018 and looking forward to seeing you in person in Eindhoven!
Here some pics of the entry Gary and I will be racing.
I will write more about the making of this car in a dedicated thread.
For now, I will say that Gary designed the decals in the UK while I did the assembly and painting in Auckland.
Then decals were printed by Colin at C&C Designs and sent to Auckland by priority mail.
The Royal Mail decided to put the decals on the back of a dolphin that took two weeks to get here! ;-)
Just saying but this car is one of the entries for the [font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Sideways International PaintingCompetition - LB H GT3. ;-)[/font]
with kind regards

Hello Nick
A checkbox for the GT3 race to register was included in the Suzuka online registration form.
You ticked it and have one entry for the GT3
Richard (Hill) also inquired if he could enter a second GT3, so if he does we have 15 GT3 cars on the grid.
The problem is we're a bit limited on Driver rostrum space, we might squeeze in 16 for the GT3 race but that would be the max.

Racing for Belgium Oreca 03 update
Only a few more days to go till one of the better events that I ever participated in.
To give you all a glimpse on how far "Racing for Belgium" is with the preparation of the Oreca 03.
Here are a few shots taken this weekend.
Before
After, and a few details that still need my attention.
All the mechanical parts put together (minus the front inserts, still drying)
Still waiting for my decals to arrive, so in the meantime I'm allready prepping the lightkit as much as I can to save some time installing the kit
into the car.
Hopefully I have some sparetime to get to the track this Friday, so the car can have it's first little shakedown.
But I'm suspecting a few minor glitches that need a bit more work.
With kind regards
Tom van Leekwyck
