The Challenge  Is BACK for 2009!

LAST FALL A NEW SERIES WAS LAUNCHED, WITH A NEW RACE FORMAT. MAXIMIZING TRACK TIME AND REDUCING THE OVERALL TIME SPENT AT THE RACE! 3 COMPLETE RACE ROUNDS WERE RUN LAST FALL, PRODUCING A DIFFERENT WINNER AT EACH EVENT! WE RAN UNDER ANY CONDITIONS - RAIN OR SHINE! THIS TEAM SERIES BRINGS THE DETAILED SCALE BACK INTO R/C RACING! COME FIELD A PORSCHE 911 GT3, PAINTED TO RESEMBLE A REAL PORSCHE RACER! LOW COST AND A RELAXED ATMOSPHERE!

Format

The Porsche GT3 Challenge is a team event (minimum 2 people and a maximum of 3 people) and consists of two 45min races. Starting positions for race 1 will be randomly selected and race 2 will start in the finishing order of race 1. At the next event, race 1 will have an inverted grid base on the results of the past races finishers (ala BTCC)!. New teams that have not participated in the last event will be randomly picked and slotted behind the existing entrants.

All race nights begin at 7:00 p.m for a practice warm-up, with race 1 starting at 7:30p.m. Some tracks may be set-up earlier for additional practice (check with host). There will be a 30 minute break between race 1 & 2. Trophies will be given out for top three teams at the end of each night.
