IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: CHALLENGE 3 CANCELLED

2007-08-30T19:26:00.000-07:00

It is my deepest regret to have to post this notification.

The 2007 Singapore Invitational Challenge 3 for 10th scale 190mm electric powered International Scale Touring Cars is CANCELLED.

First off, we would like to thank all our supporters, who have been consistently supporting us for this event. However, with the response we have received to this day, it is just not possible to carry on.

Special thanks to our sponsors and our overseas guests who have previously made plans to support our event. Please accept our sincere apologies.

We have news that the 2008 iFMAR EP Touring could be held in Thailand, so I would expect the the 2008 FEMCA Touring would be held in conjunction with the Pre-World event. Therefore, a 2008 Challenge 3 would not be appropriate.

There has been recent interest in 10th Scale EP Off-Road. We will plan for a club event in November / December 2007 and if respnse is good enough, we will work towards a 2008 Challenge 4 to cover 10th scale EP Off-Road in replacement for Challenge 3.

WET WEATHER PROGRAM

As long as there is one full run of Heats on Saturday, we shall use that for Sunday's finals.

If we get rained out on Saturday, we would be force to reschedule the finals and have at least 1 run of Heats. Heats & finals duration would be expected to be shortened.

Racing Line

2007-06-14T06:30:00.000-07:00

First of all, please accept our heartfelt thanks for all your interests and participation. It would really help in the administration of this event if you all could quickly complete your registration with payment. As for overseas drivers, you can do that after you arrive.

And we understand it was because of your interest and support that there seems to be some misunderstanding with regards to the release of the racing line. Our original announcement on RCTECH.net was for the racing line to be release on Monday 18th June 2007. However, based on feedback, the committee agree that the local hobbyists would need to work and would not be able to practice while our overseas guest would probably be here during the weekdays to practice. Therefore the committee agree to release the racing line on Friday.

Please pardon us as some of you had misinterpreted this "Friday" as 22nd June 2007. The committee intent is to release the racing line on Friday 15th June 2007. However, I need to appeal to all local hobbyist not to go the track on Friday 15th June 2007. The reason being that we are making final minor works to the track. Basically we had the kind service of a volunteer to cut a new AMB pick up coil line on the straight. Your full cooperation would be most appreciated to allow this kind volunteer to work on the track without risking himself with your cars zipping on the straight. The other minor work would be to add a layer of GuardTop (materials courtesy of Mr. Ong Hie Kie) to the concrete corners to increase traction.

I trust that the above is sufficiently clear and your full support and understanding is most appreciated.

Basically the track racing line is the same one as last year. We (the volunteers) couldn't quite balance our full time job, our family time and our volunteer time to plan and execute any major change to the racing line. However, the committee agree that the line has to be different from last year's racing line, so that it would lend sufficient integrity to the fact that we are promoting the event as an Invitational Challenge with a good percentage of participation from our neighbouring countries. Therefore, as some of you would have guess it, we shall keep the racing line, but we will run in the anti-clockwise direction. Therefore, we need to bury a new AMB pick up wire on the other side of the straight - one of those things we forgot when we constructed the track and it has now come back to bite us. ha ha ha . . . So here you are the racing line image:

The numbers represent the turn marshalling positions.

• Each driver will be issued with a single number sticker for your Heats & Finals, please clean the surface of the RIGHT side wall of your body (bearing reference with the front of your car facing away from you) and attached the number sticker onto it.

Major Event at Turf City prior to our Race

2007-04-13T00:58:00.000-07:00

We have just been informed that there will be a major event at the Turf City grounds, involving all MOE Schools with turnout of at least 70,000 students. Please stay clear of Turf city on 18th and 19th April 2007.

With this unfortunate addition, we understand that there will not be any time for free practice prior to 20th April 2007. Therefore, we will have control practice on 20th April 2007.

The track will be opened on 20th April 2007 at 11 am and closed at 3 pm. The Control practice schedule has been updated into the main proposed time table, I'll repost the link below. Mr Yeo Seng Leng (aka Ah Leng) has kindly volunteered to be our Control Practice Official. Mr Danny Teh will also be helping out - Right ?

Control Practice Procedure:

1. Drivers of each Heat will be given a total maximum of 15 minutes.
2. Starting from 11 am, Heat 1 will have 15 minutes up till 11:15 am.
3. There will be a 5 minute interval, for us to SHOO off the Heat 1 Drivers.
4. Then from 11:20 am, Heat 2 drivers gets their turn.
5. This goes on till we finish off with Heat C (the last Truck Heat).

No shows for Control Practice:

A. Friday is a normal working day, we understand that some drivers would be working and will not be able to turn up for this control practice, or they may not even plan to do any control practice.
B. There will then be empty slots in each of the Heat.
C. The Control Practice Official (Ah Leng) will act on his full discretion (I trust him so you all better do the same) to allow others who are around to fill these vacant slots.
D. No prior slot booking shall be allowed.
E. Once the Control Practice Heat starts off, anyone in the standby waiting queue will be allowed in ONLY with the approval of the Control Practice Official (Ah Leng).
F. If the Control Practice Official (Ah Leng) says NO, well the answer is NO lah.

Control Practice's Wet Weather Programme:

I. Well this is simple, there isn't ONE.
II. If it rains, the Control Practice Official (Ah Leng) will make the decision to stop or continue. He say STOP then that is it.
III. When the rain stops, the Control Practice Official (Ah Leng) will make the decision to re-open the track at his sole discretion.
IV. If you are in the midst of your control practice and the Control Practice Offical call to STOP, your remaining time will not be replace. There is no other available time to do that.
V. When it is time of your Heat for Control Practice and the Control Practice Official has NOT re-open the track, the chance is thereby forfeited by the weather - this is what they label in most of our Insurance Policies in very fine print as "An Act of God".

Electrical Power Supply: There is none at the track, drivers needs to provide their own to facilitate their own needs.

Buggy Entries

2007-03-27T03:33:00.000-07:00

This serves to thank all hobbyists for your support and participation. I have to close the entries to the Buggy event, we have reached the absolute maximum in terms of numbers. As for the Fun Truck event, I think we still can take one more entry.

Due to the high number of entries, the following shall be adopted:

1. There shall be 3 runs for each heat, all heats shall be run on Saturday.
2. There shall be no heat runs on Sunday.
3. Since Sunday is dedicated for finals only we are able to let the trucks do a X'mas tree. The X'mas tree finals will allow the drivers to have an added chance to qualify into the Main Final.
4. The tentative time table has been updated, you can have a look at it from the link below.
5. Please be punctual, we will start on time.
6. We will have to run each heat with 12 drivers, in order to accomodate everyone.
7. The lower sub finals will also be run with 12 drivers with the top three finishers being bumped up to the upper sub final.
8. There shall be no sit outs, all will run in a sub-final.

Tentative Timetable & Entry Forms

2007-03-18T06:44:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone,

I've received feedback from fellow hobbyists, local an aboard regarding entry forms. I've created them here for your perusal.

Overseas (Non-local) participants: SELECT HERE

Local participants: SELECT HERE

Local participants can also register online here: SELECT HERE

Tentative Time Table: SELECT HERE

Current Registration List: SELECT HERE

First and foremost a zillion Thanks for all your support and participation. As all can be seen, the available seats are filling up fast and I still have indication of more to come. Therefore, I would like to appeal to all the locals, who have not confirmed your entry with payment to please do so soonest possible and update RCTECH.net. I really won't want to start a waiting list and surely I won't want to bump your names off the list. Thanks for your cooperation.

There is a surge in Trucks. At the moment it is in my own best opinion that the driver-stand cannot take more than 12 drivers each Heat, so 24 entries is the maximum. As it is now, you can see that there will be already 10 heats. The time table is already very tight for a 2 day event and I don't think I could squeeze in another heat, but I will still be exploring.

QUALIFYING SYSTEM

• We aim to take the best 2 of 3 heats based on points. Points shall be assigned to the drivers of every run of Heats. In order to be prepared for thunderstorms disrupting any of the runs, drivers need to be prepared that we shall total points for 1 of 2 or 1 of 1.

• All Heats shall be 7~10 minutes in duration. We shall plan for A, B & C Main finals for trucks and X’mas tree finals for buggies. The finals duration shall be decided on site depending on weather conditions.

• Each run of heats; drivers will score points based on the laps and times achieved. The maximum number of points awarded to the best driver will be equal 115 (Truck: 41).o The fastest in each run will score: 115 points (Truck: 41).o The 2nd fastest will score: points of fastest driver, -2 points. o The 3rd fastest will score: points of 2nd fastest driver, -1 pointo Down to last position one by one.

• In every run, in case of a tie, the points will be equally awarded to each driver, and the first driver not to tie, will receive one point less per tie. For example:
1st driver will score 115 points
2nd driver will score 113 points
3rd driver will score 112 points
4th driver will score 111 points
5th driver 7 laps, 5:01.00 will score 110 points TIE
6th driver 7 laps, 5:01.00 will score 110 points TIE
7th driver 7 laps, 5:01.00 will score 110 points TIE
8th driver 7 laps, 5:10.00 will score 97 points

• In a case of two or more drivers having the same point score, the next best point score determines position. If still unable to resolve with the next best runs, then the driver with the highest laps and fastest times in his best score will determine position.

• Assuming that all goes as plan, we would have 3 runs of heats. The point results of the best 2 will be totalled to sort for finals. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, we will use best 1 of 2, or 1 of 1.

• If a driver does not start a heat, he receives no points.

WET WEATHER PROGRAM

• The following contingencies shall be applicable in the event of clement weather: lightning & thunder.

• In the unfortunate event that this happens before we complete run 1; the event schedule shall be halted to accommodate the weather. Thereafter, when the weather permits, the event schedule shall be continued from that point onwards – if we halted in the midst of Heat 4 Run 1; when the weather permits, we will continue from Heat 4 Run 1.

• Run durations may be adjusted between 7 and 10 minutes to all Runs before and after the clement weather condition – if we started with 10 minute runs for Heats 1 to 4 and had to stop due to clement weather; once the weather permits, we will re-schedule the timetable and MAY reduce run duration down to 7 minutes. In this instance, only the first 7 minutes of results from Heats 1 to 4 shall used instead of the full 10 minute run. This procedure shall be based on the change in run duration through Spark2.

h. Each Driver is allotted ONLY ONE (1) table and ONE (1) chair please. Drivers participating in both the buggy and truck event will get an additional table and chair.

i. Singapore enjoys Tropical Weather; all drivers please take note and prepare for it. On a best effort basis, we will try to have each run of heats completed under similar conditions. However, once we start off the X’mas tree finals, we will only stop the time table if there is lightning and thunder, this would mean that drivers need to be prepared to compete under wet and raining conditions.

j. Assuming that all goes as plan, we would have 3 runs of heats. The point results of the best 2 will be totalled to sort for the X’mas Tree Finals. If, due to unforeseen circumstances, we only have 2 runs of heats, then best run will count and finally, if there were only one run of heat, then it shall be the only run to count.

k. The AMB Sparc2 software’s “Assign Points” function shall be used to assigned points to each driver of every run of heats. When all the runs are completed, we will use the “Merge of Runs” function with “Sort Merge on Points (Advanced)” and “No. of valid runs” set respectively.
i. Each driver will be issued with a single Number Sticker for your Heats, please clean the surface of the left side wall of your wing (bearing reference with the front of your car facing away from you) and attached the number sticker onto it. This is to ensure that when your car goes across the transponder pick-up coil, the Time Keeper, AMB Spark2 Manager and Race Director can verify your car number.

l. Drivers using DSS-based radios and or AMB Personal Transponders please take note of your radio transmitter and receiver battery condition. The Time Keeper shall not be held responsible for any miss counting by the AMB Spark2 system.
