A change of poster today, as I could see the other one being perhaps misread as this being a Group 5 competition.
I found it quite difficult to find suitable illustrative "Poster" for the Global Touring car proxy, mostly they are representative of a specific car, Manufacturer or a particular event or series
However although not really what I wanted to convey, this one will have to do.....at least for now, I might see if I can generate a montage poster.

I know it's lazy but a lot of people are using it now... how about asking one of the AI websites to generate one?

Those Capris seen racing at Nurburgring 1973, I don't think this is a Group 5 race either.

Hi Graham
I am going to ask a question that I am sorry may be a little dumb.
I was reading Kevan's post Global Touring Cars Slot Car Challenge Proxy 2026 - car builds and he refers to different rules and cars allowed for different classes. Am I missing something? Are there a set of rules for this proxy event I have not seen or cannot find?
If so please send me a link.
Thanks Fred

Hi Fred,
Once Graham comes up with an idea we throw it about quite a lot before he decides a final spec for classes and rules.
The last version of the draft rules is in this post ->

Thank you Kevan, I appreciate that. I am new to proxy racing as am racing in my first now and am learning a lot. I look forward to learning more about this one.
Thanks again for clearing this up for me.
Fred
