F1 Cup?

[paulb]

Hi, just wanted to know if the published F1 Cup is still going ahead, with the first round next Sunday?

I have been following a number of threads here (including 'history repeating itself' - phew!!!) but haven't seen anything on the F1 cup lately and the 'motor tbc' looks unresolved.

I may have missed more info on the forum so any help would be appreciated as I'd like to participate if possible.

Thanks
Paul

Thanks for the info - nothing in the way of confirmation yet?

Hi Guys.

It was decided at the commitee meeting at the begining of the month that the motors to be used are:

"F1 championship motor class agreed, initially 21T Ansmann, Tamiya black
or Silver can will be allowed."

<- that is the note from the commitee meeting. Apolagies for not updating the threads. Im sure the announcement thread will be updated when someone with the right forum permissions is able to update it.

But yes the F1 Championship is go go go.

No re-fuelling during the 5 minute races, and no tyre changes . We dont advise pit stops, but your more than welcome to try one

See you sunday

Simon and I will both be there running F10s with Tamiya black cans.

The F1 poster is on the SHMCC web site home page. www.shmcc.org or go to the top of this page and the link to the home page is there.
Just scroll down and you will find it...with all the regs.

I fell asleep at some point and when I woke up 40 mins later they were still in the same positions, yawn

Great to see some feedback on the series. First time out for me with this type of car but really looking forward to meeting up for some racing fun on Sunday

Reuben. I thought we had to run both soft and hard compound tyres in the race. I have been practicing tyre changes with my pit team all weekend. LOL ;D

I will be down on sunday running Formula 10.
I will also bring some spares and wheels & tyres.

[Reuben]

Ill bring my camcorder down with me aswell sunday. Get some F1 racing footage, so all you can all admire your perfect Hamilton and Button style Apexes.

I suggest we decide who is going to win now and then we can just follow each other round for a few hours just like the real thing.

LOL,

Every time someone crashes can we get a touring car out on circuit?

infact that would make some good viewing on ur camcorder reubes... all the f1's weaving behind a touring car
