Please also NO cars made in europe by the Japanese such as the Nissan Sunny. Cars do not have to be recognised racing machines but should be presented in either plain road car or racing livery (Try to avoid rally liveries please).
Hard bodies only E.g. Rigid Plastic, Resin, Glass Fibre, Wood, but no lexan or flexible vac formed type bodies please.
Maximum body length is 150mm, maximum body width including wheel arches 64mm.
Guide assembly and wheels/tyres should not be visible when the car is viewed from directly above with the guide centralised.
No sponge or silicon tyres please, and no tyre addatives - cars will be handed to a start marshall for this event and any substances on the tyres will be wiped off before the cars are placed on the start line.
Class 2 Chassis can be from any material but may only have a maximum of two hinged parts including a drop arm if used. (Class 1 chassis must be a PCS32)
Wheels and tyres should have a maximum width of 9mm, with a minimum diameter overall of 16mm Fronts and 16mm Rears.
Ground clearance between the wheel base should be a minimum of 1mm.
The 2007 World Classics Pre-1980 European Saloon Event will be split into 2 categories,
Class 1 PCS32 Chassis only
Class 2 Any chassis type including scratch built
Motor Restrictions - Class 1 PCS32 chassis cars may not have the chassis cut to accept different motor configurations, they should use a small can type as designed. Class 2 no restrictions but if it causes power cut out to trigger on the 15 volt supply then you won't be going very far!
Concours cars must compete in at least one qualifying race, drivers who wish to enter both class 1 and class 2 cars can do so, but they will automatically go in the class 2 finals. Only drivers who stick to using class 1 type PCS32 chassis cars in all four qualifying heats may enter the class 1 finals. Upto 4 different cars may be used and entered into concours providing they all race at least once. Concours will be judged for the 2007 World Classic Pre-1980 European Saloon Event by the meeting sponsor John.
Qualifying heats will be 3 minutes duration, with scores from all four lanes being counted. Finals will be then run by divisions with the top four qualifiers in the A division, next four in the B division and so on. The A division drivers will compete for the overall 1-2-3 trophies, while the next divisions will compete for a division winners shield.
World Classics will also present special awards to the top three entrants using either a World Classics or Ocar bodied car.
The Chris Jurkowski Memorial Trophy will be presented to the highest placed pre-1970 car in the event.
Food and drink will be available on race day, people requiring the hotel should P.M. or e-mail either myself or Malcolm Scotto (malatwolves) and we can sort out the bookings for you.
Finally remember the golden rule: If a car doesn't comply with the spirit of the event we may ask you to run something else.
