Our local club has a dilemma. We are running a GT3 class that started out with Carrera only cars. Someone showed up with a Scalextric car which was allowed to run. The escalation started there and (hopefully ended) with the first Scalextric Ford GT.
So my question concerns running Carrera against Scalextric. Can they fairly be raced against each other?
Here are factors to consider:
Carrera cars are heavy (some over 100g), have 18k motors (if you get a good one).
Scalextric are lighter (70g on a good one) and motors are 21.5 (except the new slim can cars which are 27.5k and I think should be outlawed).
On either brand car we allow NSR tires and any guide. Chassis loosening and ballast is allowed.
So is there a path to parity between these two brands?
