Travel Information
Travel information will be added to this post shortly. There is also a WhatsApp group which contains flights, hotel information and general discussion for those interested in attending this event. Send a PM to Tamar Nelwan or myself for access.

Fees & Registration:
GT3 registration: Click Here
The registration fee for the GT3 Euroseries final is £15.00 per team.
WEC Registration: Click Here
The registration fee for the WEC 6h Igualada is £40.00 per team.

Entries must be submitted using the online form and payment made in full to secure an entry. We expect the GT3 race to be busier than the WEC race due to similarities between CSD and DiSCA GT3 regulations, so more of the local races may be tempted to join in. Guests / non championship teams are welcome to enter either race.

* Two-person teams for WEC will be allowed but must have a buddy in another team that can share marshalling / maintenance duties where required.

Cleaned out the ashtray and kicked the tyres, The Ford GTE is ready to go to Spain.

Looking forward to revisit Igualada again...last time was for the 1/24 European Plafit Championships in 2005

with kind regards

Brilliant to hear of the continued expansion Gary.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghhhhh

- we leave for New Zealand the Monday before the race weekend. Oh for one more week.

Have a good time all - and a tip for ye olde social organiser from the Netherlands - I think that will be the weekend they have the harvest food and wine festival in downtown Igualada as well - it was the first weekend November when I was there for the Campeonato de Slot. Runs through into the small numbered hours.

Sleep - highly over-rated, and cancelled for the weekend

 

DJ has posted in the group to say that DiSCA racers can also join the CSD event, so if youre looking for extra track time then this could be a good opportunity.

More details to follow, but the rules are based around Scaleauto GT models and are broadly similar to the DiSCA GT3 spec.

Thanks Gary!

Our rule books (and track design

) where sent to Cric-Crac last week and we expect to get full confirmation this week.

CSD is our yearly regular single race, but as Gary confirmed, it is not only for local drivers, it is open to everybody who want to join.

On the CSD, drivers will "enjoy" various racing rounds (10 to 15 minutes/each) and finally a playoff round and a final race.

It is a Fuel based race, so there is an additional strategic factor.

It is a single race, so you race against all the others, prove yourself and place your name in the "Hall of Fame" board.

Friday from 16:00h ahead, official trainigns.

Saturday from 8:30h to 10:00h official trainigns 2 (for those dthat culd not come on friday), it will much more less time for training; time is gold...

Saturday from 10:30h to 18:00h CSD races.

Timing is barely aproximate, might change.

More and detailed info will arrive quite soon.

Registrations will be done through Cric-Crac system when it is open (30€ each entry).

 

Hi,

updated info: Link

Sorry just throw up all Spanish text into goggle tranmslator and tried to modify most aberrant translations. Don't hesitate to ask any doubt.

Summary:

In the absence of reviewing and confirming some developments that may arise in September, we start with the sports and technical regulations of the CSD 2019.

Technical Regulations: Link

Sport Regulations: Link

For this CSD event, we have tried to make the regulation as close as possible (within our "concept" of competition) to the GT3 DiSCA regulation and thus facilitate the preparation of cars for both races.

Gary, Tamar, should I open a new thread for the CSD or I leave it here? No problem at all.

 

I'm happy to include CSD information in this topic. For an international audience it probably makes the most sense.

I would like to participate in the CSD race

 

Some News,

Tyres/Wheels will be the same as for the GT3 event.

Scaleauto AMG GT3Cup Series are also included.

Hello Dj thx for the update

A small error has found its way into your post:

• The link for the sporting rules leads you to the updated Technical rules
• The link for the Tech rules leads to the old tech rules
  

So guys this is the correct link to the updated CSD Technical rules

Hi Dj, your private message box is probably full.
Could you accept some more inscriptions for the CSD race on saturday?

I did empty my PM box.

Should be clean now.

Yes absolutely we can add more drivers, nice to hear!

Here is the English version for the CSD 2019 registration formulary: Link

 

Very nice track. I am curious to know how is the grip affected by transition between policar and ninco pieces. In principle both track systems should have a comparable grip level.

Hello Gio and all others who are preparing their cars for the Igualada races
In this post you'll find the results of the testing we did on the Policar track @ slotracing2go (NL)
we went there to check and test exactly what you are curious about

1 Ninco LC's in a closed Policar track with the Policar/Ninco adaptors.
For the test we mounted the most troublesome of Ninco LC combinations, the XLC between lanes 2 - 3 with the additional single lane trackpieces for lane 1 + 4. We managed to place the XLC directly in front of a 90˚ R3-R4 corner with 4 full straights and 1x 61mm straight before the XLC/ adaptor combination.
Mounting the track pieces was very easy and straight forward, the plastic clips under the track securing the Adaptor to the Ninco track work as they should, we did not even bother to screw them tight. Track rails also connect very good with a flush transition between the Policar and Ninco rails, Slots also line up perfectly.
When driving over the track there was no noticeable difference. Braking and entering the corner was normal. Lane changes could be performed as normal, and..
…as during the test the grip level improved, with the 4 3/4 straights length before the XLC, you could change lane at full throttle and brake as normal before the corner.
Which is good news as on the Catalunya Policar track design…80% of the LC's are placed in front of the corners with a similar straight (or shorter) before the LC.

2 Grip and wear rate of the Scaleauto Procomp 3 on Policar.
We tested the Procomp3 with two DiSCA GT3 spec cars @ 12,5v, fresh tires on a month old track, the track had not been used for a couple of days.
So even though the track was a bit green, overall grip was more than ok. Grip on Acceleration and under Braking was good, grip during the transition from braking to corner entry was lower. We cleaned the dust deposit from the tyres with Scotch tape frequently. It took about an hour of driving to clean the track, (with just two cars)
Once clean the track grip had improved to a very, very good level. Better than on Ninco definitely. The measured wear rate of the Procomp 3 was less than 0,1mm p/h, which is also better than on Ninco. The difference in lap time between the start of the 1st test run and end of the 2nd run was 1,5 sec ( 11,8 -10,3. Sec)

3 Grip and wear rate of the Slot.it F22 on Policar.
We tested the F22 with a DiSCA WEC GT & LMP2 with MX-16 motor and a LMP1 with a Flat-6 @ 12,5v. We drove the WEC cars after running the GT3 for 30min so the grip was already better, but here too frequent cleaning with tape helped a lot. The F22 does the same on Policar as it does on Ninco, it provides good and stable grip.
The wear rate was also comparable to Ninco, maybe even less 0,2-0,3 mm p/h.

4 Grip and wear rate of the Slot.it N18 on Policar.
Last but not least the N18, in the run up to the e-csd 24hrs last June concerns had been voiced that the Policar track might not suit the N18 compound and that a switch to P6 might be better.
Unfortunately we did not have time enough to run a back to back test between P6 and N18…but then again we did not need to, as the N18 performed very good on the track.
In some cases (but this might be depending on set-up) even better than the F22.
The N18 compound did pick up more dust than the F22, but as the track got cleaner and the tyres settled in, they had good grip and the low wear rate that we're used to with N18 (0,05 -0,1mm p/h)

Hope this helps

with kind regards
Tamar
