Cool UKMicroX 2011 Event Details



UKMicroX 2011 Event Details
The first ever multi-day micro event held in the UK!

On the weekend of 6th-7th August 2011 I will be hosting the 'UKMicroX 2011' event at the Caldicot RC Club's venue in Caldicot, Gwent.

Booking in and qualifying rounds will take place on the Saturday, with the remaining qualifying rounds and finals taking place on Sunday with each A-final being over three legs!

The event will run to the following format; 2 rounds of practice, 8 rounds of qualifying ('Round By Round', best 5 from 8 to count) and then single legged finals except for the three legged A-finals!

The event will cater for three classes and has been capped at a maximum of 65 drivers, to a maximum of 80 entries for those who wish to run multiple classes.

1/16th 2WD: This class has been capped to 20 entries maximum (2 heats).
1/18th 4WD: This class has been capped to 10 entries maximum (1 heat). (The wheel rule will allow vehicles such as the FTX Blaze/LRP Shark/Duratrax Vendetta buggy to enter using standard FTX/LRP/Duratrax buggy wheels.)
1/16th 4WD: This class has been capped to 50 entries maximum (5 heats).

The UKMicroX 2011 event will be run to a modified version of the BRCA Micro Section rules which will be released in due course along with a full list of sponsors.

Any entry form will be released as soon as all the sponsors are confirmed.

Although the event will be held over two days the event will be as cheap to enter as possible. With this in mind entries will cost £10 for your first entry and £15 for two or three classes!

The UKMicroX is the perfect show case for drivers and manufacturers to show off their skills and equipment prior to the Series starting in in the autumn of 2011!

If you are a manufacturer or distributor and would like to sponsor the UKMicroX 2010 then please email [email protected] as soon as possible to discuss this further!

If you have any questions or wish to discuss options further then please email me anytime. I am more than happy to answer any questions, I just want to pull this event off and make it the best event I have ever organised!

1/18th 2wd might be able to go with the 1/16th 2 wd. I'm just guessing there's not all that many 18th 2 wheel drivers.

Hey,

Sorry, due to the lack of interest at this years National Series I have decided against running a class for the 1/18th 2WD cars. You are welcome to race in the 1/16th 2WD class though as you will be well within the dimensional requirements

And yes, same venue as the Caldicot National

Depends on what you want to do!
there are several nice pubs/restaurants in the area, there's the Roman ruins in Caerwent (or Venta Silurum as they would have called it).
Caldicot has a castle and Waitrose, amongst other normal amenities.
Chepstow is a little further away but is very nice and is the nearest Tesco, also has a bigger castle than Caldicot!

Please feel free to start a seperate topic if you want to ask specific questions about the venue or for recomendations regarding the surrounding area.

Mainly just for chilling afterwards, might just be me, Sam might come with me, so it depends. Might just book somewhere in Cardiff as we've been a couple of times and like it.

True, but it's motorway pretty much all the way, so 20-30 mins away.
