HMCC (Tasman) 1.5 Litre GP Cars Rules 1961 to 1965
Rules by Stubbo Organiser Phil
Cars should be 1/32 scale models of F1 cars from the 1961-65 1.5 liter period,or Tasman Cup during the same years.
Only hard bodies (resin, fiberglass, injection molded plastic, 3d printed or fabricated plastic) will be allowed.
Reasonable scale appearance and representation of authentic color/number/driver schemes (but no need to replicate specific cars or drivers; freelance schemes may be used, if period-appropriate).
Minimum detail would include clear windscreen, driver with head, arms, hands, and partial steering wheel, roll bar if car that is modeled had one; some 3-D engine detail if visible on actual model, exhaust system and mirrors. Suspension detail is required to compete.
See though interiors where the track can be seen when looking straight down are prohibited
Chassis may be fabricated using any material or stock manufactured .
Wheels, inserts and tires (see below for limits) should be in keeping with the period.
Tires:
Rears: 0.80" (20.32mm) minimum diameter, maximum width .276" (7.25mm). at sidewall
Fronts: 0.75" (19.05mm) minimum diameter, Maximum width .276" (7.25mm). at sidewall
Min width .217 (5.50mm) at sidewall
Both front and rear tires should not have a contact patch of more than 7mm width where the tire meets the track at the start of the series.
Rubber or urethane tire compound, must be black. No clear paint or polish on front tires.
Rear tires may not be slab sided tires !
All rear tires must have the sidewall bulge like the rear cars did in the era. The inner sidewall does not have to have the bulge but must be radiused at the tread area.
Motor,
As of this time 1/1/23 you may choose from one of the following Solarbotics SRP-1090 or FF-050 1790 RPM That Phil has is stock. You are all on your honor not to slip in something a little hotter.
Gears may not be visible from above.
Minimum ground clearance 1/16" (.0625", or 1.59 mm) except at gear.
Accurate wheelbase (a list of proper wheelbases can be supplied. (tolerance 1.5mm).

alternate (MJK etc) as Scalex are now hard to get for some models.

2023 Slot It Group C Sports Car Series
Stack,Russell Sheldon, Club
The introduction of the FIA World Sports Prototype Racing Championship for Group C cars in 1982 saw some of the fastest racing cars ever produced. The popularity of the Group C series grew to the point that it was almost as popular as Formula One and the cars almost as fast.
The coming of the Porsche 956 and 962 in 1985 saw this car dominate until the arrival of Nissan, Toyota and Jaguar.
In Europe, Porsche was instantly dominant, first with the 956 and then with the 962. Mercedes, in the guise of Sauber, and the TWR run Jaguars set out to beat Porsche, until a new 3.5-liter class was introduced in 1991. Nissan,Mazda and Toyota also built cars for the class.
With the world recession of the early 90's, manufacturer-based racing came to an abrupt end. Sports prototype racing in Europe died in 1992, to be followed in America at the end of 1993. Today, these cars and races are remembered with great fondness by most motor racing enthusiasts around the world.
This Class is designed to allow all the Slot It Group C cars to compete. So these cars shall form the basis of the rules.
Rules:
The body must be an accurate 1/32nd scale representation of any car that raced in the WSR championship and IMSA series from 1982 to 1992 and complied with the Group C regulations. Any colour scheme may be used but the car MUST have at least 3 racing numbers. Bodies must be either injection-moulded 'hard' plastic or resin or fibreglass. Vacuum-formed bodies are not permitted. Appendages such as on the real car (e.g. spoilers and diaplanes) may be Plasticard or other lightweight material. Any resin body shall be of at least the same weight as a Slot It when fitted with Interior and windows.

SCX Nascar Series 2023
NFI
SCX Nascars (COT cars are Eligible)
Pro Series cars are noy eligible.
Cars are to be run with only very Limited modifications
Rear tyres may be change for Scalex classis tyres as fitted to the Camaro,Mustang and Corvette.
The minium tyre diameter is 19.5mm front and rear.
Tyres MUST be within the bodywork.
The Chassis may be scraped to allow body movement,the small stops (ribs) on the body sides may be trimmed back and the four long “pins” that help locate the axle may be removed. All to allow body movement.
The motor pod movement may be restricted. So far either silicon or two small plastic strips glued to the chassis seem the best,if you have any other ideas check with Dave Gray BEFORE doing it to see if it is O/K.
All other components must remain standard.
The body cannot be lowered over the chassis.
No other modifications allowed unless approved by Dave.
As the number of liveries are limited repainting is encouraged. Patto has plenty of Nascar decals.
Normal seven (7) week series, one nominated car only.
