Class P – All RTR or scratchbuild models fitted with floating motor mounts
Does that include Ninco, Proslot and SCX cars with floating motor mounts or does this only relate to cars with adjustable floating motor mounts like NSR, SlotIt, Thunderslot, Scaleauto etc?

if both class cars can be entered in the Revo event
my question is ....
what is the maximum cars one team can enter in total across the whole proxy ?
ie :- if both classes are entered in Event 1 , could we still enter one of the other 2 Events with a 3rd car ?

Yep, I have changed the wording to "adjustable motor mounts"

Another good question, I am going to leave this open to a maximum of 3 car registrations per person, if we get into a really unexpected high level of entries then we could adopt the US shoot out type approach, but somehow at the moment I rather doubt we will need that. But in a way even that could be quite exciting
But I would rather see around 30-35 cars entered, even if they are from fewer number of entrants.

I'm using this proxy as an excuse to get a Fly Panoz LMP off the dusty shelf and onto the design table.
I already have a car ready for this proxy as it came back from the last proxy...SCX Ferrari 550 Maranello but can fit wider tyres for this proxy.

I mentioned urethane tyres to club members and we're OK with those on our track.
Can you please add the FLY TWR JOEST PORSCHE WSC-95 to the LMP list please Graham, winner of LMP1 at Le Mans in '96 and winner of LMP in '97
I'm resurrecting a bag of bits with a new chassis for this proxy...pics to follow later

I have included the FLY TWR JOEST PORSCHE WSC-95 in the Event 3 car list.
Also made a couple of updates:
Clarified the question regarding "rear body Valances" on the Event 1 (standard Revoslots)
Basically as they are supplied to be fitted on the RTR models, then I see no reason why these should not be regarded as part of the std model requirement within the rules, but they can be sanded back to max 1mm if there is a issue with the chassis rubbing on the valance.
Also I have decided to allow the 25k rpm motors in Event 3 to be fitted only to plastic & standard Revoslot chassis based models, any other steel or B&W based scratchbuild chassis will be restricted to motors of 23k rpm max.
And finally although it is very early days, the entrant list is quite short, so we will need some more participants in order for this one to proceed.
