kalbfellp Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Oz Rally is on again this year. It will also try some thing a little different to see how things go. Two class,s will be run with points allocated for each class. So we will have two winners. Rules for both class,s are below. I will start a new thread for entry list. I have tried to add all the eligible cars BUT may have missed some. OZRALLY PROXY SERIES 20013-14 RULES Historic Cars Series Description This year’s Oz Rally Proxy Series will be open to cars that competed in a Rally Championship before 1987.

The sole purpose of the fee is to cover postage costs (where applicable) of cars from one round to the next. Entries will close on 21th September.

Misc. notes a) When sending car please do not use a plastic "crystal” case to hold you car. A small cardboard box with the car well wrapped in bubble wrap will suffice. Please do not send any spare parts with car as in the past they have had a tendency to go missing c) All cars will receive numbers (label paper stickers and will be attached to each car at round 1. Cars from last year will be allocated a number from last years finishing order). Entrants new to the proxy rally will be allocated numbers in sequential order upon receipt of entry. 13. Tracks and Hosting a Round a) Tracks are to be purpose built single or dual lane rally tracks. Multi lane race tracks with integral rally circuits are acceptable, provided the track is considered 'tight and twisty' and no long straights. Under no circumstances are rounds to be conducted on race circuits. Tracks are to have smooth surfaces. Elevations encouraged but extreme rough track surfaces that disadvantage some brands of car are not welcome. We are looking for a wide variety of makes and models and not a field dominated by one model only. c) The intention is to run the rounds at no longer than at 2 week intervals. Your round should be run by the next week end after the cars have arrived at your track. Forwarding on of the box of cars should be in time to arrive at the next host in plenty of time to run the round. d) Each days driving should be reported back to the forum when completed. e) An official score sheet should be completed and forwarded via e-mail to the director at the conclusion of your round. A template will be forward to you by the director before the commencement of your round. f) The postal addresses of next round host and reimbursement for postage costs will be forwarded to hosts by the series director at the conclusion of your round if required. g) Track owners are to run cars against the clock for a minimum of 8 minutes per round. You can break this up into as many stages as you like, for example, stage 1 on a Friday night, stages 2 and 3 on Saturday night and stage 4 on Sunday afternoon. An additional reputable driver (co driver) may be used to assist in driving at least one stage but must complete a full cycle of cars through that stage. The co- driver must be suitably familiar with the hosts track. Stages can vary in length and direction, just as long as the total time for the fastest cars is approximately 8 minutes. If you are unsure how many laps to run to total 8 minutes of driving - work out the best lap time you expect from a car in this field. Say 6.00 secs. How many laps will the fastest cars have to do be on track for 8 minutes. 8 minutess is 480 seconds so 80 laps total is a fair guess. 14. DISCALIMER Entrants should understand that no responsibility is accepted by the organisers, hosts or participants of the OzRally Proxy Series 20013/14 for the loss and/or damage to your cars or parts/equipment supplied either before, during or after the series is conducted. 15.

The model must comply with the requirements as set out in the Series Description. Submissions should be supported by both documentary and pictorial evidence of a model’s suitability for acceptance in the series.

kalbfellp Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) No, the MSC WRC cars I have looked at are all podded. Read the rules as I had transposed part of them. Last year Ninco and Avant were the popular choice.

charlesx Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi Phil - more silly questions. Am I allowed to modify or remove original engine mounts to fit different motor but retain same orientation? For example may be required if I want to change gearing. Secondly do any replacement bearings need to be able to fit into original bearing holders or can bearing holders be altered as long as not shifted. Regards Chas Le Breton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 remove original engine mounts to fit different motor but retain same orientation? Several people have done this in the past, Ninco into SCX etc So Yes. Secondly do any replacement bearings need to be able to fit into original bearing holders or can bearing holders be altered as long as not shifted. I cannot see why this would be required. Most people just open out the bearing holders IF the replacement bearings are bigger.

charlesx Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ta for first. Just being thorough. I have no idea what people have done in past. On second agree can probably just be drilled out but needed confirmation because of previous comments in earlier Oz Rally. You can buy brass compatible bearings but I wanted to use something else if I do not retain Scaly plastic ones.

ntz Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 "1. Body a) Body must be as original RTR. No additional material to be used to modify the body other than updating wings etc as per 1:1 car." For WRC. Can we remove non essential parts for securing them from being broken?? For example mirrors, wings, night lights (peugeot 207 Avant) etc. Or the body must have everything on it??? "2. Wheels & Tyres Front tyres cannot be any more than 1mm smaller than the rears." For Historic: 1mm smaller, meaning the whole diameter of wheel and tyre??? Or just the tyre???

kalbfellp Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) The outside diameter of the tyre when fitted to the wheel, this is to ensure that very small low profile front tyres are not used.

Hope you have warned postie we expect better performance next time. If I remember correctly last time car took nearly a month to get to your address. Should not take more than a week. When will decision be made on classes? Still hoping you will run both but really enjoying chance to build new car for Historic.

aquakiwi Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi Phill I'm considering an entrant if I can get it up and running in time, a couple of questions from a "newbie". Can ballast be brass or lead(if covered in tape) and can alloy wheels be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbfellp Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I would recommend using alloy wheels at least on the rear,preferably fitted with eurethane tyres. Brass or lead is fine,if under the chassis needs tape to insulate it. If on top of chassis it does not need taping.

charlesx Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hi Phil - another silly question. Do not think it is mentioned. My apology in advance if it is. Are rubber tyres allowed to be treated for Oz Rally? This has been a real contention in NZ and has caused a little tension. Possibly only appropriate for the smooth tracks we generally have in NZ but I would like clarified please. As example of local rules treatment was allowed at NZ Nats for first time earlier this year because organiser said he could not police. It is not allowed however in Canam Proxy in which you have been regular competitor. On wear my Canam car has now used the same NSR Ultra tyres for the last three proxies and is still performing well. Another car I built has 2 year old tyres. Thanking you. Regards Chas Le Breton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
