D1RC Drift Series Round 4 @ Snetterton Park

Author: John Turner, D1RC

For the first time in D1RC history we had to reschedule a round due to the weather, but when we arrived at Snetterton Park a week later the sun was out to greet us. It had been a while since we’d competed at Snetterton, just over a year due to a major overhaul having closed the track during 2011 but the circuit was how we remembered it, big, fast and challenging!

In the Club class qualifying it was newcomer David Shaw-Matthews who led the way with his Hot Bodies TC-FD driftchassis setting the bar at 95, 89pts, closely chased by Andy Brunton on 95, 86 and Lithuanian holiday visitor Antanas Pluuska on 90pts

In Pro Class it was the turn of Steve Gravett to take top slot with a 98 over Rick Lincoln-Smith on 94 and Simon Landgrebe on 90pts. Simon was also using a TC-FD but with the new HPI Flux Pro Competition ESC fitted (#101830), a fully programmableESC that’s gets your motor screaming with the best of them!

During the lunch break we held the Best Shell competition which was won by Rob Jones with his very nicely turned out HPI Prova Scooby shell = nice paint job Rob!

BRCA 1/12th Scale Circuit Nationals 2012 – 2013

The BRCA are pleased to announce it’s calendar of events for the 2012/13 National championship for 1/12th scale electric cars. As usual, the championships will be contested over 6 indoor rounds on carpet, with each driver’s best 4 scores counting towards their final placing in the series. During the season we will visit many of the established venues, but also a couple of new ones. The racing format has been re-evaluated with the hope of attracting more younger and less experienced drivers to the series by offering classes for slower motors and simpler cars as well as retaining the classic open modified class for those who wish to race it. Drivers from overseas are invited to race with us, as are UK based competitors of all ages and experience levels.

The calendar and classes are as follows;

Dates
October 13th/14th – Teesside

Note; There will be no national championship round on the usual January date due to a prestigious invitational race event being hosted by the BRCA at the Autosport International Racing Car Show.

TR-10 GLUE-LOCK WHEEL GUNMETAL (120x60mm/2pcs)

TR-10 GLUE-LOCK WHEEL GUNMETAL (120x60mm/2pcs)

These 10-spoke wheels are made from tough high-impact nylon and are available in your choice of black, gunmetal and chrome to help you match your paint scheme and add a custom look to your truck.
This new version of the TR-10 wheel is designed specifically for the Super 5SC Flux. It differs from the standard TR-10 by requiring the trye to be super glued instead of utilising a Bead-Lock to hold the tyre in place. The ‘Glue-Lock’ design results in a lighter overall weight but maintains a mock Bead-Lock to keep that traditional large scale look. Must be used with Glue-Lock Tyres, see below for details:Glue-Lock Wheels
