Indoor Raceway - On Road Event 214

Opening & Finishing Times:

We run our on road club every Thursday, and our buggy club on a Tuesday (which closes during summer due to the outdoor tracks being open). Doors will open at 17:15 to begin setting up, the first race will be on the line for 18:15, we must be finished and out of the venue by 22:00. The more participants who help us setup and clear away will give us more track time.

Track:

We are running Lindau carpet which will cover the entire hall (18m x 12m) with plastic track markers.

We are utilizing a lap timing system that allows comprehensive lap timings to be viewed live or historic.

At Indoor Raceway we are using the latest MyLaps RC4 decoder. ​Our RC4 decoder is running the latest 4.5 firmware which means that only genuine MyLaps transponders will be detected and any transponders that aren't MyLaps unfortunately wont work at our club - Compatibility List Here. You can buy transponders here.

Race Format:

Once the track is setup, if there is time the track will be open for practice, this will be announced by race control. Their is a maximum of 7 drivers at one time for practice and to manage this we have keyrings found at race control that we ask you to use and then pass along once your done to ensure everyone has a chance to practice. We will run as many rounds as possible depending on the number of entries. We will be aiming for a minimum of two qualifying rounds and a final per class. When it is your time to race place your car on the start line, You must remain on the rostrum until the race has finished, even if your car is no longer on the track, except an emergency. Marshalling your own car during the race will not be tolerated. Each qualifier and final will run for a total of 5 minutes.

Marshalling:

After each race you must return your car to the pit area and proceed to your marshal point. You will marshal the race straight after you have finished racing. There will be numbered points around the track with marshal high vis jackets. You will marshal on the number that was assigned to you in your race. Do not leave your marshal point until it has been announced that all drivers have finished. Remember there is only 2 minutes gap between each race so please get to your marshal point immediately to ensure we can run with as much racing as possible without delays. When marshalling especially near to the rostrum please refrain from talking as this is highly distracting for the racers. You MUST wear a hi-vis whilst marshalling.

Venue:

We have the use of the main hall and toilets only; all other parts of the school are out of bounds. Chairs are provided at the venue but you must bring your own pit tables. You must put away your chairs at the end of each night. We do have the use of the power at the school, remember plug sockets are limited so it’s first come first served. It may be a good idea to bring an extension lead. Charging of lipo batteries is allowed, it is compulsory that every battery is charged in a lipo bag. Anyone caught not charging in a safety bag will be asked to leave immediately! As per BRCA guidelines lipos must not be charged over 8.4v

Parking:

There are ample parking spaces available however we ask that the row to the left hand side of the carpark is kept free for the school minibus. Please only park in a bay and not blocking anyone in or the front doors. Typically the organisers of the event have a lot of equipment to bring so please be courteous and leave the first few bays available for them to unload equipment needed for the event. The school is situated in a residential area so please be respectful of the neighbours when you arrive and leave the premises. This could jeopardize the future of the club.

The BRCA is the governing body for RC car racing, Indoor Raceway is an affiliated member. The BRCA also supplies us our public liability insurance, you are allowed to race at our club for 3 times before you have to join the BRCA, this can be done via the BRCA website. No exceptions.
