TAMIYA CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES ON-ROAD
All radio control
car-racing hobbyists are welcome to join the series. Whether you’re new to the
sport or a seasoned racing hobbyist we invite you to partake in the Tamiya
Championship Series where fun and good competitive racing is our top priority.
“Factory Team” drivers
(drivers who are, or have ever been, employed or supported by a factory,
manufacturer or distributor as part of a factory racing team) are not allowed to
compete for prizes or awards. This includes drivers that received sponsorship
that entailed a monthly salary from a factory and received paid
airfare/accommodations to racing events.
There will always be
racers who will try and get a deal of some kind. This cannot be avoided and
therefore we ask for a balance as much as possible.
The hardcore factory
sponsored driver may not participate. An example of racers that Tamiya Canada
would not allow to compete would be Martin Crisp, Corey Whiteman, or Keven
Herbert. These types of drivers are clearly supported by a factory and would not
be eligible.
