An Idea
 

After enjoying a days racing a few of us were chatting about a little twist to the Worlds GT10 class, although the class is still kind of in its infancy there is always room to have a bit of fun, not to replace the current concept just to possibly break from the norm every now and then.
Hpi currently have an awesome selection of old school american muscle car bodyshells as do a few other suppliers.

Ford Mustang
Corvette Stingray
Ford GT
Camero
Plymouth Cuda
to mention a few,

Authentic paint jobs, a bit of class :thumbsup: As all the shells will suffer with only having mild down force it makes it a bit more self competitive as well as keeping the field level.
Consider reverse grids so the winners gotta earn they're strips!! :p

Any thoughts?

Hey sheepy I would be well up for this as a kind of grand am serries which is similar to the statside version of this that MLP promoted afew years back.

sounds good, especialy as the lmp body from protoform is no longer available, may aswell fit an old school shell

Shame these chassis not really caught on as big as they should. Simple cars - cheap, fast, grippy, they've got a lot going for them. Unfortunately they will always be too big for indoor venues and the circuits are to short and bumpy for them, not to mention too few in number. They could revolutionise 10th electric touring if those complicated hard to use 4wd ones weren't so prevalent. Not currently even a heat for them, nor a proposal (or time room in a national) to make one.

there is currently a 3 leg national (first one ever) at Ardent raceway on a summer series we are seeing numbers around 12-14 increasing every meeting, the last RCcircuitcars series seen 2 x heats, Teeside RC are seeing good numbers too, most indoor clubs who run indoors are allowing the '10's' in with the tourers to keep numbers up. i personally have raced nearly all RC formats and to be honest i love this, especially the simplicity, hopefully it will grow and grow, it is alot cheaper than touring, the cost of an 'up to date tourer' would buy a GT10, a shell, 2-3 complete sets of tyres (which wear really well and so much better than rubber) and at a push a servo to boot! so yep, cost, grip, speed always a winner, fingers crossed for more to make the change over :)
