Hello,

First of all I wish you a Merry Easter ! You can cath every chocolate eggs you want but dont get the Covid once ;-)

Back to the Dakar classes. There are classes depending of the type of the vehicules (cars are not in the same category than trucks or quads - I need to check with the organiser for quads). Then there are classes depending of the equipement of the vehicule.
Yes, the "Out of box" category means that you can only :
- change the tires
- add lead
- remove the magnet
- change the braids (to be confirmed)
Out of box cars from Mitoos are not allowed in this category. A list of manufacturers must be provided, such as Ninco, SCX (Scalextric in Spain), MSC Competition (now part of Scaleauto), Avant Slot.

If you want to change anything else you move to the upper category which is indead "open", where you can do all what you want, up to make your own chassis or body...

Magnet or not magnet ? That is a good question. In France I think that no race is allowed with magnets (but many drivers are using motors with magnet effect :-( ). Is that really an advantage for a Rallye Raid race ? Let's try and take a stock after the proxy. For myself I can no longer play with a magnet, but I can easily understand people would prefer to run with a magnet.


If I play (I think I will), I may prepare this car (open category).
