RE: Racing the Early 60's Slot Car Proxy - Kevan - 5th-Apr-26

To help plump up the F1 event entries, I'll cancel my Event 3 Touring entry and opt instead for an Event 4 F1 entry.

...after rummaging, pondering and ebaying, it seems I already have a car nearly ready for that event.

Definitely a prototype. Possibly a small saloon (not necessarily the Abarth). And I am very tempted to build up a Penelope Pitlane chassis for the single seaters… Two of those three TBC.

Thats fine, really this list is just to identify the level of interest firstly in the Proxy overall, and then secondarily the Events proposed.
When we get to the Registration stage I would expect to firm up actual entries.

Event 2 Body width
Having just got hold of a MRRC & Fly Lola MKII to measure, I believe that the Max body width for Event 2 should be 62mm instead of 60mm.
So both these models are acceptable

For the open wheel "Event 4" cars is there a max rear track (sidewall to sidewall)?

A very good point Bob, body width is abit nonsence in that regard, so I have clarified that point in the table of the dimensions in the rules.

CORRECTED Should now read " 55mm Outer tyre wall width (track)" for Event 4

RE: Racing the Early 60's Slot Car Proxy - Kevan - 7th-Apr-26

I presumed that was 55mm as CSCRA is 54mm for this era F1's

Opps yes should have been 55mm not 57mm

RE: Racing the Early 60's Slot Car Proxy - Graham - 7th-Apr-26

I am near to allowing the MR Slotman cars in the Event 1 RTR class, I have been testing mine over the weekend and compared to other modified RTR models does not seem to present an unfair advantage.
Rumour has it that the Ferrari 250 SWB will be released soon and I believe the cars will be reasonably in Scale width to be regarded in that class. Although the chassis is metal, they are technically “mass produced” as off the shelf RTR cars.

So if there is any opposition then please let me know.

As long as the bodywork is within 57mm it'd be a pleasure to see them in the proxy.
