Motor homologation?....
Is this normal in the electro world?....
(don't forget I'm a 8th scale racer, and do 1/12 racing to keep my skills up)

Isn't this homologation rules for motors, plain simple because people will not admit some drivers have better skills, and so because they are faster, they MUST have better/illegal equipment, so lets put it on an approval list?

Some years ago Jilles Groskamp also started running 8th scale cars for Serpent in the beginning.
At that time a friend of mine, capable of running 15.0 laps at out track, gave his car to Jilles, because he wanted to attend a clubrace to get the feeling of these cars.
After 30 minutes of driving, with the same car, Jilles drove 14.3 laptimes with it!
So 0.7 seconds faster, and not because he was running better equipment!....
But just because some people have better skills!.....


Motor homologation.....
I don't see these rules in the EFRA handbook, except for batteries.

and I agree with Cobra, homologation is quiet useless and uncontrolable.
A good measurable technical specification is better...
