Should the class turn out to be Historic GP I am proposing the following guidelines.
1. Class to cover cars from 1950 to 1962.
This is to promote a form of parity. This covers cars like the Brabham Cooper T53 and the Phil Hill Ferrari 156. It will exclude The Lotus 49 and the Gurney Eagle. These models are too quick and their footprint is too far advanced compared to the pre 63 models which will be what most will be racing. I consider they would not be in the spirit of the event.
2. To be run as a non magnet race on plastic tracks.
This is because the magnets in the projected models vary greatly from make to make.
3. Run at a predetermined lower voltage than normal.
Possibly at ten or eleven volts where possible. Most tracks now have variable voltage power supplies. This hopefully will impart an 'NC1' type feel to racing and reduce deslots and encourage closer racing between all racers.
4. Motors to be restricted to 18,000 rpm
As for 3. above
5. Tyre tread area to be no wider than the wider Classic Ninco tyre (9mm?).
6. Ballasting to be allowed
It goes without saying that a lot of models are going to be hard to drive without some extra weight!
Other guide lines to be in line with 'Slotcar Legends' guidelines, ie Plastic wheels, hard bodies etc
