New F1/Indy Class?

HCSlots “Sportsman” chassis (short wheelbase position)

Well, not really new, just a little different twist on a theme we’re already supporting. The short story is that we’re proposing putting an F1/Indy hardbody on a Viper-Jet platform.

Please check out the details in the Stewart Raceway Forums here. And, please comment there also. Obviously, we need to discuss and sort out the related rules, though it’s pretty much “U-Build Viper-Jet” rules with just a body, wheelbase, and front-end change. The pics here are just two different V-Spec models but you’ll get the idea.

Yea, I agree, we don’t really need to introduce a new class right now. However, this one is a slam-dunk and should be a great addition to our racing program going forward.

In fact, if enough interest, we’ll debut this class of car at the next Formula “e” Oval race. One more oval layout event in this series, just need to decide when.

Okay, let the discussion begin!

Concourse d` Elegance Competition

Just a reminder that we’re going to have a Concourse d` Elegance trophy awarded at the end of the current Formula “e” Series.

Actually going to have two awards: An individual car winner; and an IROC “car set” winner. Hope this motivates some to bring some cool IROC sets to the final race.

George is leading in points for the IROC set award after presenting the bodies for the Round 2 TFX “Lites” race.

Round 3 is this Saturday, January 29, at 10:00AM. Register now!

Jag Hobbies PR-5 and MG/MG+ F1/Indy Body G2

Round 2 of the Fe Series indicated that the AFX/RaceMasters injected-molded F1/Indy bodies may not be the hot setup, at least for oval track racing.

The Round 2, 400-lap, PR-5 “race-winning” body was a rather heavy 3d-printed 2021 F1 body. The only modification was some slight removal of underside material to get the body to sit at the proper attitude for racing, a very minor and quick mod, which is not required for the intended MG/MG+ 1.7 chassis.

Here are the weights of a few of the bodies campaigned in Round 2 of the 2022 Formula “e” Series. The Viper and Gary Fast bodies are shown for reference.

Gary Fast (Fastbodies) 2010 Indy Dallara

No idea yet what is the best choice for both oval and road racing but hope this info helps. The current rules aren’t real specific so you can lighten any of these bodies. However, if you lose a rear or front wing, or otherwise break off a significant piece of the body while racing, you could be DQ’d.

Stewart Raceway Series Points System

All points are awarded at the end of each completed race, not segments (heat).

Race Finishing Position Points

Position	Points	Position	Points
1	16	12	0
2	13	13	0
3	11	14	0
4	7	15	0
5	6	16	0
6	5	17	0
7	4	18	0
8	3	19	0
9	2	20	0
10	1	21	0
11	0	22	0

Race “Finishing Ahead Of” Points

Drivers Behind	Points
1	1
2	1.25
3	1.5
4	1.75
5	2
6	2.25
7	2.5
8	2.75
9	3

These points are only awarded to finishing positions 4th on down. The concept here is to finish ahead of as many cars as you can. For example, if you finish 4th in a complete race and nine (9) racers finish behind you, you’ll end up with three (3) additional points, which really adds up in a race series or season points.
