Starting in November, Mini-AZ will be launching two new racing series. One of these is the:
The Timex All Wheel Drive Touring Masters will join Formula 1 and AZGT in our series lineup. (Sporting Regulations attached below)
This will be an AWD only class using the higher profile sedans and hatchbacks that are otherwise neglected. Maximum wheelbase is 94mm and minimum roof height is 42mm. Minimum weight is 190g. 'Any non-FET upgrade' motor rule.
Each race will consist of three Stages, two 5min and one 15min. The top six drivers score points (I doubt we'll have more than six in the first season). More points scored in the longer Stage 3. Bonus points for fast lap and lap leaders.
I'm sure some of you will be pleased there are no adjustment or battery restrictions between races as in the AZGT.
To accommodate the extra racing, AZGT Season IV will switch to single direction racing along with the other two, so we should be able to run all three race classes in one day. And if someone doesn't have a particular class of car, they're not left out for too long (and we score some corner marshals).
The typical schedule will look something like this:
10:00 Track Setup and Open Session
11:00 AZGT Practice
11:30 AZGT Qualifying
12:00 AZGT Race (longer on Le Mans day)
12:30 F1 Practice
1:00 F1 Qualifying
1:30 F1 Race (depends on pace, but should be 35-45min)
2:30 ATM Practice/Qualifying
3:00 ATM Race
3:30 Tear Down and Cleanup
The schedule actually fits into the same time frame we've been using. I was very impressed how much we were able to accomplish during that compressed and hot day in August, Joe even did his 1:1 brakes between races! So I think we'll be able to run all three events without difficulty, and we get to run more of our cars as well.
NOTE: The updated Sporting Regulations are down on Post #14.
