The Class is called Trophy Cup, we had every raceday between 4-12 racers usually finishing within one lap from first to last.

Chassis : any1/10 scale Full time 4wd chassis/ No One Ways

Motor: Hobbywing non timing 21.5 sensored motor

ESC: any Blinky ROAR approved

Battery :limit 7000 2cell, ROAR approved

Tires : Gravity Pre Mount USGT tires or any 24-26 mm spoked wheel ( no Dish/Areo wheels) with Gravity USGT tires with it included foams.

Weight: 1380g

Body: Protoform Europa body(PRM1565-25) Or last years Tamiya VW Scirocco (gt24-CNG)


The Trophy Cup appears on paper to look like it would be just like USGT but in reality it was Quite different .

With the tall hatchback bodies with a lack of downforce and the Hobby Wing no timing 21.5 motor it kept racing closer and cheaper the USGT.

Most of us will race other classes as well but we would like to see if we could be included the racing program.

It sounds like a good class. It might be possible to run it with the USGT cars. Last year there was not a huge number of USGT cars. It would be like real sports car racing with different classes running together.
