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!

  1. I love it. I’ll be ready to go with one after this race. I just need another FLEX chassis which is now en route 🙂 I love those Tyco Jets – so it only makes sense to make this a more staple – U-build typa thing!

    1. Since most of us already have a hardbody version of the V-SPEC, shouldn’t be a big issue for most to convert back and forth between the two types of cars. We’ll see what everybody else has to say about it Saturday. Only one response so far…
