Bonus run...TT Grandstand, based on the Grandstand and the road immediately around it. Single lane that we use as a Rally stage but my Corvette gets round great
Kevan - Isle of Man
Life is like a box of Slot cars...🚓🚗🚚🚜
Orakei Raceway..................
Track power is anything from 10 to 12.5 volts from a very good power supply.
We will set the power to 12 volts for the IPS cars.
Trackmate timing system and copper tape on the track. The slot depth is 6.65mm from the top of the tape to the bottom of the slot.
We have ran many proxy races on this track over the last 10-12 years, we wash the track clean every time we race so dirt and dust is not an issue.
The track will be cleaned before qualifying and the race.
A good lap time here for a good Slot-it Group C car is 4.25 seconds.
Cars move from left to right passed the drivers stand.

Even thought this track is a full size 24th scale track, 32nd cars do run well on it, just slower as expected.
The slot depth is more then 8mm, track power is from braid.
Truck loads of current but still running 12 volts so power is never an issue here.
Trackmate timing system.
We will use well seasoned RTR drivers for the IPS cars.
The track will be cleaned before the IPS proxy cars run on it.
RTR cars run up the hill in front of the drivers, a good lap time for a good Slot-it Group C car is around 7.00 seconds when all above is correctly aligned.
