The track is setup on a rubber gym floor in a highschool and most (99.9%) of the guys run touring cars. I would like to run an F1 car just to be different and because I love the look of them.

My question is, what would be a good setup for the rubber floor and would I have a chance racing against the touring cars? It is a run what you brung kinda race and the only thing you win is bragging rights. I would be running a Novak Havoc 2S system with the 10.5 motor (my spare from my Blitz).

Will the F109 be able to run with the touring cars without breaking?

I don't want to invest in this car if I will have nothing but problems running it with touring cars.. I don't care about winning as much as having fun and not have to repair the car everytime I run it.

Also as you are open wheeled you will usually come of worse in a collision.

How high does the gear need to be to avoid destroying these motors from overheating? Smoke from the rear of the car looks cool but not a desired result.

Any help appreciated!
