Has anyone tried the Scalex Skoda Fabia yet?
I wanted to know if they ran like all other Scalex rally cars without the magnet and with or without four wheel drive engaged- anyone?

Get well A S A P mate. I`ll see if I can get some one who knows what they`re doing to post some shots of the stages after the event!

Absolutely! Ordinary three pin plug type controllers can be used except for the Ninco stage, when everyone uses the same Ninco one. Tell you what - I`ll try and get the bar open for an hour or two

6R4! They don`t even let them in real Post Historic rallying never mind Classics.
Perhaps next year we can have a Post Historic and Group 4 class!!
With Quattro`s ,Mark 2`s, Lancia int`s, 205`s etc all from that era and let in resins(like my Roger Clark Cossack Escort).

Hi - sorry I`ve been away for a couple of days - as long as you`re not cutting the chassis I read it as an adapter is Ok.

Phil Field wants to keep it simple so only cars listed are eligible- I think the 037 would come into the Post Historic / Group 4 era so maybe next year!

Street name is Brecon Road, we`ll put up some 1/32 racing signs to guide you to the social club which is at the rear of the hospital next to an old mansion. Post code is NP7 7EG for a printed route.
cheers - Phil B.
Just one other thing - the bar will be open 12 - 2 but apart from crisps and nuts etc there is no food available, but Norman Baileys garage is on the Brecon Road less than half a mile from the main entrance where sarnies and pies etc are on sale.
Cheers - Phil B.
I don`t think Phil Field thought about multiple entries per class but I would imagine that each entry would be £4 - course if you ran 4 WRC`s and say two historics it could turn out to be an expensive day!
Most people run one WRC and one Historic and mostly the kids just do one WRC.

As far as the stages go - yes some short and twisty, some faster and flowing the made up Ninco stage is quite long, I`m not sure if the Carrera one will make an appearance as we have six others but I can safely say that the flour will not be used this year as we (I) was a bit over zealous with it on the Aberstone stage last year and we couldn`t get up the hill to the alpine section, resulting in the track being hoovered before the second runs and Don Stanley`s motor being unclogged with switch cleaner.

However the sawdust in the logging area worked quite well and earlier in the year at our local carnival in a leaky old army tent the rain water made it quite interesting so we may have a few puddles, a bit of insulating tape sealing motor and chassis will help, it has been refered to as a sump guard to stop the motor shorting out on the yumps and crests.

Wing mirrors are only an optional extra - probably better if they "fell off" for one tight stage (say no more).

Jeff - it`ll be nice to see you.

Cheers - Phil B.

Hopefully Roly or Phil F. will post some piccies soon (hint, hint), I would just like to thank all the competitors, time keepers, stage providers especially SLOT 32 for supplying the Ninco set for first place in WRC - thank you very much gentlemen.

Out of a fairly chaotic start we were able to run 24 stages on the day, shame I couldn`t find my bag of sawdust, I will re-stock on that.

Scott and company thanks for making the journey it was nice to see some faces from the forum maybe we can travel east someday to an event there.

We look forward to the pictures - Cheers - Phil B.
