My local track is 10x16m (33x52'), and 12th scale (both normal and GT12) is run with 13.5T 1S.
Touring cars run 17.5T, but sometimes 13.5T too on club nights.
In my 200mm pan car (the UK GT10 class, similar to WGT), I run 10.5T boosted 1S, but only at club level. Ironically, at the national level (which is run on bigger tracks), it's been slowed down to blinky this season.
F1 run 21.5T motors with 2S in the UK, the same as the European Touring Series (ETS) rules.
So, yeah, I find the common "it's too fast" comment rather odd, myself. 10.5T blinky 2S in my WGT,
that was too fast!
