Touring Cars
 

Do you guys ever race tourers? Or is there no call for it in the Seaham/Sunderland Area?

no. never run touring cars.
Theres a club that runs at tyne met the newcstle RC racers club that runs Touring cars on a Monday night
and I think barely mow might run them as well on a Sunday.
Then there is also teeside that runs touring cars, and GT12's

As Afro says Newcastle RC Racers run TC's at Tynemet College (& buggies) every Monday night 7-10pm on the wooden floor in the sports hall.
Please feel free to pop along for a look, you'll be made very welcome. Bring a car if you have one.

Barley Mow used to run 1/10th TC's on carpet but I think they're mainly 1/12 gt's now.
Check NRCR's forum or FB page and Barley Mow's to see if they do still run 1/10th

Nah mate......Buggies are way more fun than touring cars.......;)

Come along to Seaham or other rc clubs around the north east and see what class you would prefer :thumbsup:

Noooo - don't let Dex tempt you to the dark side Cookie ;) TC's are far closer racing :D

Only place you'll be able to compare TC's and Buggies is TyneMet anyway to help you decide which way to go as nowhere else runs both :p

How's the car hunting going anyway, been a few weeks since you were along, still working too hard?

Hahaha ;) :D:thumbsup:

Barlymow currently run GT12 and LMP.

We are about to start racing the M-05 chassis.

Best thing for you to do is have a look at the 4 clubs in the area and see what is the best fit for you.

Below is the link to the club www

Only place you'll be able to see buggies on a OFF-TRACK track built for 1/10 off-road buggies and NOT a touring car track with a small wooden jump is Seaham ;)
With around 30 drivers every week it's the most competitive club to race at as well....
