1. I also reconsidered the issues of B&W /metal chassis, and removed the restriction of use with them on the basis that if all cars are constrained to In line or Sidewinders and with 20k rpm motors this should reduce any significant advantage of performance they have over the other Class C cars.
   
2. For this proxy it is worth pointing out that my intention would be to have Class awards for each of the 3 Events at the end of the series, but not the usual 1st, 2nd & 3rd awards.  To encourage more Class A entrants in each event the differences between the Classes in terms of motor and motor orientation are much more constricted to give the potential for closer racing between all 3 classes.
   
3. There will be no Best Team Award, each Event is rewarded separately.
   
4. In regards to the question raised by Savage GT, I think the tyre width sizes are generous, and I do allow some tolerance for tyres being "slightly" oversize. If I was to make the tyre widths another half millimeter then of course entrants would still have tyres which were over size, so 10.5mm then becomes 10.7mm etc. Basically I allow "something" as a tolerance, but won't say what as that encourages others to work to the tolerance rather than the target 
   

1. What significant advantage of performance have we seen so far with B&W / metal chassis over the other Class C cars  in the last two proxies?  or is this a perceived advantage or cars that initially showed an unfair advantage but totally failed to deliver on race days.
   
2. I like that idea and thought that's how things were when I entered the first proxy (Rally) so definitely a thumbs up here  
   
3. I like that idea too as a team award is like an extra award for the person with the most awards
   
4. We saw this years ago, we have tyre width limits and as you say 10mm becomes 10.5mm becomes 10.7mm...
   

This proxy is in evolution so we can expect changes

I think metal or B&W chassis work best with higher rpm motors, the Rover SD1 would have been an Event winner in my opinion if it had not sustained some damage on the chassis supports. As it was the front wheel jammed against the wheel arch acted as a brake.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
As some folks are already jumping ahead of me with their long term planning on this proxy 

I need to restrict the number of cars entered to 30 whilst encouraging new entrants to take part, so in a seismic change from my previous proxies, I am looking for all single car entries with the option to add a 2nd car if there is available places left. (ie less then 30) 

 Ideally we would have the 3 Events with different entrants for each event (each Event of 10 entries)

 I would ask you to consider your preferred Event to build a car for first please, and if you want to send a 2nd car this will only be allowed should there be vacant places to fill and it it would still have to be in a different Event from the preferred Event entry.

[Kevan]

Here's an idea, all proposed 2nd cars must be Class A.

[Brumos RSR]

Asking if we can add the Scaleauto 0020 20k motor to the list.  Rest assured this is No Piranha 25k theres almost no magnetic downforce.

Scaleauto Tech1 (20k) motors are included. I think the 0020 motor has been discontinued, so a car with this fitted would need to tested on arrival. As the motor is not available to buy, I cannot test it to include it on the list.

I can live with that as it’s CA glued to the chassis.

 Good Morning,
As we will soon be into 2024, it is the final time to listen to feedback for the proposal I am making for the Goodwood Revival Proxy below.
[attachment=33197]


My ideas have evolved since my first proposal, the 3 Events have changed in nature which should appeal to different entrants.
Event 1 " Closed Cockpit cars 1959-1964" is now effectively a Standardish based Event with 20k rpm in line motor limited to those listed. I hope this will bring together a range of "Class A type standard models, resin model based entries etc in a closely fault contest.

Event 2 " Group 1 & 2 Saloons 1970 -1982" this has attempted to constrict the range of motors and orientation to give a closer match between entrants cars.

Event 3 "Sports Prototypes 1960-1965" this again should give a close running competition between cars of the same sidewinder orientation, but recognising that this event is most clearly aligned to Class C constructed cars it seemed pointless not to raise the motor specs accordingly.

I wanted with this proxy to allow for more participants to become involved but still to restrict the overall number of running cars to a practical 30 car limit. However more likely that we will end up with between 15 to 25 entrants, so I think there will be spaces which can be filled with 2nd car entries. As to how these can be introduced will depend on how this proxy is received. But I will ensure that those wishing to enter more than one Event do get a reasonable length of time to prepare, so at the moment I am thinking of minimum of 3 notice from the start time in September.

Awards,
obviously the target will be for entrants to enter the best car they can for each Event and any construction award should be regarded as of secondary importance. I have yet to decide how the latter might be judged, and will depend on who decides to enter and with which cars.
 Although I have stopped short of dictating exactly what type of car construction can enter which Event, in reality I think the 3 Events have polarised naturally into those who might prefer to enter one or the other using a particular construction, so perhaps a Class award may not be needed at all ?


So please let me know sooner rather than later what you think...........

As I'm still working on the GT Sports Proxy I have to admit I haven't given a great deal of thought to this one.

As there's a few cars listed that have rigid fibreglass bodyshells available from Betta & Classic would you be willing to allow these kinds of bodyshells for scratch builds? Betta & Classic have supported proxies for years, they may even come on board as a sponsor if you approach them.

There's a nice 1958 Maserati Tipo 151 and 1963 Ferrari 330 LWB on their stock list.

I have a couple of other bodyshells of theirs still in their packets awaiting that special call-up.

I'm only referring to the rigid fibreglass bodyshells not their vacformed ones.

Yes Fibreglass bodies are are fine, so I have amended the rules to include them.

[Kevan]

Thanks...that gives even more options

[Graham]

After a bath a couple of glasses of whisky, the answer as to how to reward each Class construction came to me 

So a new award will be allocated.
A bonus Best Car Construction Award will be allocated to the: 

Best A Class car for Event 1 
Best B Class car for Event 2 
Best C Class car for Event 3 

With the overall fastest laps across all the Rounds.

[Brumos RSR]

Graham, first off Happy New Year!!!! Are the rules here final?
