F1 Madness
Looks like I'll be giving up the old USGT
Sold the car a while ago, was thinking of getting another one, but am seriously contemplating F1 as my second class. The only thing is that nobody really runs it except Swifty. Come on now, lets get this class going. With the advent of yet another possible TC class, it's getting pretty boring. I think it's definitely time to step up to the F1 class. Who else is gonna be getting one for the upcoming season? Or is this just gonna be another class that lasts for half a season? Rubber Tire Pan Car racing at its finest!

Not going to run F1. But it would be nice to narrow down what's going on with stock touring car and reducing the number of classes. If it's going to 21.5 I'm thinking USGT is done??

Touring car will follow roar rules. And yes I believe JR is correct that if stock becomes 21.5 it will likely be the end of USGT as there is no reason to run 2 21.5 touring car classes.
Neat side effect maybe the possibility of 17.5 going to middle class and having a faster and slower option.
F1 is the coolest looking yet a harder car to race. If we can get a regular showing through the summer we will add it to the winter series.
Which national rules package...
UF1 Rules and Regulations | UF1 RC
Only exception here is battery voltage which will be superceed by the house(ROAR) rules: 8.40

Just got done glancing at those rules. Kind of a cool concept. (3) 15 minute races sounds great.

Couple of quick notes as we are close to the Points Races.
First Points race heats will be set random. We will work to avoid back to back races and move accordingly, Also we will work to separate groups who have traveled to race and Family members so they do not have to race each other..
2nd and following races will be set by Points Standings.
Mains will be set by Top 9 drivers with the 10th driver Bumping in, If the class is marginal on the next main, ie 1 or 2 drivers in the C with 10 in the B we will run 3 or 4 in the lowest main and bump 2 drivers. This will be true of the b,c,d etc.
Example: 11 drivers in VTA, top 8 will go to the A, bottom 3 will race the B with two of the three bumping into the A.
12 drivers in VTA, top 8 will go to the A, bottom 4 will race the B with two of the Four bumping into the A
We expect to resort after the 2nd round. Currently that is the choice of:

Are Jaco Blues going to continue to be the spec sedan tire for mmr? Preparing for running sedan for Winter and not a ton of positive reviews of this tire concerning usable life vs other tires such as Gravities and doesn't appear to justify any grip advantages vs usable life?

Any option to try or switch to Gravity's?
