1/5 Scale On-Road International Grand Prix in Miami FL - March 9-10-11 2018
 
3 Attachment(s)
We are happy to announce that there will be a 1/5 Scale On-Road International Grand Prix held in Miami FL (Homestead FL) hosted by Homestead RC Raceway at the RC track in Homestead-Miami Speedway. The schedule is set for March 9-10-11 of 2018.

We will follow up with recommended hotels for those that come from overseas, although more than likely most pilots will prefer to stay near the action in Miami Beach. Yes, we will be inviting the top drivers from Europe, so don't miss this event!!!

We will have for this race only 1 class (GT and Sedan together). No F1 at the moment.

For those that dont know, the RC track is located on the north side of the main road course.

Let me see what I can do. There is a potential track in Cali that may open around that time but nothing is official on that yet. So, lets see what transpires over the next couple of months. What classes are you planning to have in the program?

What is the agenda for the event. Friday Practice, Sat Qual, Sunday Mains etc. What time does the track open? Controlled or not practice?

Just curious

Friday = Controlled practice with a possible 1 round of Qualy (9am - 5pm)
Saturday = Qualify Day 8am -5pm (Full Schedule to be determined pending number of participants)

Once we get closer to the day we will finalize the schedule!
