Mad Ax 9149 Posted January 10, 2019 I can't help with a car but I might well be at that event - it's about as local as any Iconic event gets. Only it's on my wife's birthday weekend so duties may preclude racing If you don't find anything I might have an old racer you can borrow for the day. Stock FF01 with a Calsonic Primera body? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok mate wil keep that in mind. So could I run a stock TT01e mercedes sls amg gt3 ? Or does it have to older? It’s my first time going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3729 Posted January 10, 2019 Is there a list or description anywhere as to what type of car body and era is suitable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ichibangtr 0 Posted February 3, 2019 All the rules/booking in info are here: https://www.centralbooking.org/cbs/index.php?option=com_cbs&task=cbs2events&opt=ve&eid=296 If you click on a specific class, you can find all the information you need. Worst case, give me a shout The shells are restricted in M-chassis, but the rest are a little more open. Basically, no modern TC race shell. Emphasis on scale shells Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(the TT02 isnt listed anywhere, not in the super stock class either) Strange its not shown anywhere as a lof of the stock tamiya touring cars come with this chassis as standard. These races sound great - like a 1:10 scale Gran Turismo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These races sound great - like a 1:10 scale Gran Turismo Its not listed as its not eligible to compete The idea of the iconic cup is kind of a continuation /homage to the Tamiya eurocup which is no longer active in the UK. Basically, it's a championship for on road cars that would of competed up to 2004 The idea is that we blow the cobwebs off our old cars & have a blast Note: there is ZERO support /affiliation with Tamiya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3729 Posted February 4, 2019 Ok that makes sense. Would it be open to entrants who have never raced before / complete beginners etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ichibangtr 0 Posted February 5, 2019 7 hours ago, Superluminal said: Ok that makes sense. Would it be open to entrants who have never raced before / complete beginners etc? Yes, all abilities are welcome. Provided you have a BRCA licence, you're more than welcome to compete We always help each other out at a meeting, so don't feel afraid to ask anyone for help. I always bring used race tyres if someone wants to try them /trashed their current set or don't wanna use their fancy wheels! If you don't have a licence, visit brca.org where you can purchase one. It's like a £20 insurance policy in case something happens. Plus, it's valid at all racing clubs affiliated with the BRCA (About 99% of clubs in the UK) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomerang_kid 18 Posted February 8, 2019 I'm planning on coming for a watch as I'm in the South West. Its a great circuit to watch at, I've only driven on the off road track there. Wish I still had my old TL01 chassis... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
