Too bad this race was scheduled the Saturday before the Tamiya Nationals. Sadly I won't be able to make it as I will be preparing for GT1. I hope Hideo comes back again during the UF1 Winter Season as I want a rematch from our very close battle last season!
The layout this weekend looks very much like the layout we ran that weekend

What's the suggested foam tire to use for 200mm F103? Is Zen the best one? Not sure about my schedule yet, but if possible, i'm looking forward to racing with the guys from Japan.

Hrm.. brilliant of me. It does say controlled tire in the flyer doesn't it? Thanks Charles!
I understand there are some slight troubles with translating the rules? From what I can see on the F1 RCGP site, this is the setup for both 205mm classes:
F103 Front: Z9103
F103 Rear: Z9102SS
F104 Front: Z9107
F104 Rear: Z9106SS
Hey Carlos, where did you get yours?
