Hi All - ZeGas - 22nd-Nov-24

Hi All,

Another user put me onto this forum, which I had heard of years back but forgot about.

I am a Kiwi based in NSW Australia, have been into slot cars since 2011 and have been active on Auslot & Slotforum since then.
My interests are more with the design & build of cars & tracks, rather than full on racing.

Am an avid participant of proxy racing.

Until a year ago I concentrated mostly on 1:32 scale but had an idea on how a 1:43 car could be designed and built to compete with 1:32 and am now really enjoying 1:43.

It appears that there is a growing interest worldwide in this scale.

Years ago I did dabble in 1:43 with some Kyosho cars but found even those to be little more than toy cars, beautiful models and well engineered but not easy to tune or modify.

At the moment I am organising a combined 1:32 & 1:43 proxy based on Group 5 Racing cars of the late 70's early 80's.
The twist being that entrants are encouraged to modify a car that would have qualified for Groups 1-4 of the FIA rules for that era into a fully blown Group 5 racer.

I'll post on this forum more about it but in the meantime if anyone is interested please visit the link below to find out more.

Just note that this has recently turned into an international series of 5 races, 3 in Australia, 1 in Germany & 1 in Austria.

Regards
Grant

I have been orientating myself around this site and I gotta say.

WELL DONE.

It is extremely comprehensive and super easy to navigate and search info.
Love all the images available for downloading, making decals is now a lot easier than google searching.

Have a couple of questions to get me started though.
1. How do you set to receive email notifications? I ticked subscribe it for this thread but not getting any.
2. How do you access your profile settings? cannot find anywhere. Would like to add an image and signature.

Hello Grant,

Welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately, SlotRacer does not have an email option for recent threads or posts. But, there are no ads either. It's a package deal.

Press/find the "Forum" or "Portal" tile (usually at the top right of the screen). Then you'll see "User CP" on the left side. You can change your profile from there.

Hello Grant and welcome to the forum. Wavegreen

We do some proxy race stickers if you would like some. LINK

We also have the facility to host live score updates of proxy races, ask Jason for more info on this if it is of interest.
