I have a RWD Scalextric Mini that's been 'Pendlised' - Pendle alloys and tyres, their 20k can motor, Slot.it? crown and an unknown guide.
It's no race winner - but it's fun
I have a similar Revell NSU TT as well, so two 'different' cars for two different classes.
I may be able to rustle up a car for each of the other classes too.
Basically Class A cars are Scalextric, SCX, Revell, Ninco, Carrera (home set) cars, I will allow “upgrades” to be made ( ie replacement of like for like parts using slot it components etc) wheels, axles, gears. But no fundamental changes to the body, chassis or interior.
Class B means you can make fundamental changes, like using 3d or other chassis, lightweight interiors, different spec motor etc.
So your Pendle modified Scalextric bodied Mini, would be a Class B car

Hi Graham,
I see the Alfa 156 is included in eligible cars for this event, but you have put it's year as 1998, with the series being quoted as 1980 to 95. Just checking as an Alfa 156 would be one of my options.
Yes, I seem to have tripped myself up, sometimes happens when I construct these lists and rules
But yes your safe with the Alfa 156, I will change the time periods.

Looking forward to this one. Another clarification point:
Being BSCC spec cars, will DTM cars be allowed to enter? I'm referring specifically to the Slot It Alfa 155, Mercedes 190E & C-Class, and Opel Calibra. The proportions of these (in particular the Calibra and C-Class) are very "DTM" and are light years away from the British Saloon spec cars

The SlotIt DTM's are only 60mm wide but the class width limit is 64mm

Why have you decided on 12mm wide tyres, those are more likely seen on Sports/GT3's, 10mm would be more appropriate and 9mm on the older two classes.

They were in the BSCC list of Touring cars, so happy to allow them but will of course be Class C category.

It will be safe, then. Well within the 64 max limit. Most touring cars will be less than 60mm. I think you'd need a Group 5 before you got up to 64mm, and, I'm sure they are not allowed!!

Any chance of getting this added to the 1970-1982 list:
(1971 AMG Mercedes 300 SEL) May not be my final choice as I've only just built it up and I'm a little precious about sending it away, but would be good to have the option...

It is a good point I will mull over after a check through the list of cars again, actually Group 5 cars were listed as BSCC Touring cars but I have chose to avoid them for this Proxy, and it was probably for that reason that the 64mm width rule was included in the CSRA Saloon Car rules for 1982-1988.
