Heats are usually 5 minutes. Usually a racer is given 3 heats.
A main final can vary from 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on available time.
As for starting, I believe in the heats is stagger starting. But then like the kiasuness in all of us, everybody starts together.
I believe the mains always start all in one go. I could be wrong.
As for rules specifically for the car, as long as you have a .12 engine on a 1/10 TC, then that's legal. No rules on the bodyshell, pipes or turbo plugs... There is no weight control either. Unless of course it is an international invitation race or something like that. As for transponder, it's the conventional AMB system not the new personal AMB transponder. All of this of course changes from race to race or whoever organises it.
Fuel is 25% nitro. Tire is usually rubber. But slowly going to foams now. Just had a race on foams and everybody had a blast. So although slow, I think the foam tire trend is catching up.
