Offroad Endurance

[antnee]

Last night at West Bridgford MCC we held our 2nd annual 1/10th le-man 24 hours race, for 1/10th on-road cars running for 2hours 24mins (a 10th of 24 hours)

How it worked was between 3 and 5 people in a team, up to 10 teams one transpoder per team (hand out one) and race.


At the end I was talking to robbiejuk as I had an idea, running the same but off-road. Would anyone be interested in this sort of thing, if held at wbmcc it could either be run indoors (mix of carpet and wooden floor) or outside (on grass with a strip on concrete running down the middle)
I think it would be a lot better as nearly everyone would be running brushless so motor fading wouldnt be a problem.

So who would be interested?

Id be there and Im sure alot of the people from Broxtowe would be up for it. Outdoors would be better though!

Be interesting to know if they still run that 24hour race in belgium. Road trip

Lets up the stakes though, one chassis only. That will sort the men from the boys and there would be no way sharpy would win win with his lazer

So we could have proper pit stops, but have battery changes instead of fueling!

the thing with using one car is that the speedo is only going to last so long before it will thermal

I think my Sphere TC would be up to it with conservative gearing on a 5.5...
It usually comes out of a 7min race at about 45°C and doesnt get much hotter than that...
