"NSR Magnetic Effect" motors are I am afraid "Marketing Effect Motors" 

Yes I have measured them, and they are allowed in my eligibility list of motors as the level if any is no way near the Pirahna 25K rpm motor.

I would say that there is some evidence that with these motors the magnetic effect is very, very slightly enhanced by running them perhaps as much as adding 0.3gms as apposed to testing them static, but would still fall within the Zero to 2.5 gms downforce measurement on the SRC instrument. Not quite the +6gms we get with the Pirahna

On of the other cars fitted in line with the Pirahna 25K rpm motor measured 7.2gms of downforce.

Possibly on a short run the Porsche with the NSR "Magnetic effect" motor worked better, as the "effect was enhanced by running it and it was more of a controlled use of the magnetic field" whearas the Pirahna with such high Magnetic downforce maybe was restrained  (braking) by the inherent magnetic force of the motor.... well a theory anyway

 Good Morning

I try not to try to plan too far ahead, but since we are into another "Triple Crown Proxy" series I am inclined to announce that I have 3 themes in mind for next year (all being well) of which the entrants can choose one.

I think we would have covered the Saloon Cars fairly well in the first 2 Series of the Triple Crown with Rally and Touring Cars.

1st Choice  would be "Grand Prix Slotting" But this time it will include the generic cars becoming available from NSR, Scaleauto, Slot it etc
2nd Choice  "Sports Cars Slotting" would be for essentially for production Sports Cars (but probably not exclusively so)
3rd Choice "Prototype Cars Slotting" would be for non production based cars.
   
The exact descriptions/dates within the Events could be subject to change.

I intend to keep to the same Car (Construction) Class based system.
But if there is good reason to, maybe subject to change.

Technical Rules/ motors/ dimensions will be decided based on which Theme is chosen, but the format will remain as it is now.

The current Proxy series Entrants will be invited to offer their preferred choices (1st, 2nd & 3rd) and we will take a democratic vote on the chosen theme, the result  which will be announced in June, so have until then to decide what you would like to participate in. I will only accept votes made by email or pm.

After spending a while pondering over the options I'm drawn mostly to - Prototype Sports Cars

It's good to see 4th gen Group 5 only, there's some Gr.5 homologated cars I hadn't realised before, cars I already have like the Greenwood Corvette and the Alpine A310 V6, both of which are gathering dust at the moment.

So my 1,2,3 are:

1. Prototype Sports Cars
2. GT Sports Cars
3. GP/F1/Indy

Good spot about the votes by email/pm only 

[Graham]

Anymore interest in next years proxy ?

1st choice “Grand Prix cars Slotting”
2nd choice “ Sports cars Slotting”
3rd choice “Prototype cars Slotting”

 Good afternoon

Triple Crown 3rd Series ?
   

We had 11 respondents so far who have shown a preference for :
GT Sports (20)
GP/F1/Indy (22)
Prototype (24)

The lower the number the higher the preference.

There was 23 entrants in the Rally Proxy, so there are still quite a few who could cast a vote, and as yet there is no overwhelming preference, so will see what happens over the next few weeks.

[Savage GT]

The lower the number the higher the preference.

Eh ?
