RE: Dubai - RC Events
Guys, just for your info, I already emailed the below info (as a guide only) to Mr. Robert Paldez of DEO Dubai, organizer of the RC challenge show and Automodex. Now, the main concern here are the materials they have to bring inside the autodrome to build the temporary track especially the soil which they have to lay-out on a tarmac built from asphalt. One more thing, they need to have a good lap timing system. I suggest if they can rent the AMB RC of Mr. Arif.
Cheers!
IFMAR 1:8 OFF ROAD WC RULES
SECTION FOUR – TRACK REQUIREMENTS
4. TRACK
Minimum width: Four (4) meters.
Minimum length: Three hundred (300) meters.
4.1 SURFACE
Artificial surfaces must be of the same type used for road construction. They must not
be potentially dangerous or pollutant. Within the total length of the track fifty per cent
(50%) minimum must be from natural soil.
Any straight longer than ten (10) meters must be from natural soil.
Any section made from artificial surface must not be longer than ten (10) meters.
A natural soil section of a minimum of five (5) meters must always separate two (2)
artificial surface sections.
At location of the lap counting antenna, there must not be any metallic structure.
Deterioration of the natural soil area must not uncover obstacles in the transit area
between natural soil and artificial surface (overlapping slope must be smooth and of
sufficient length).
The track must be suitably drained.
4.2 JUMPS AND OBSTACLES
When initially constructed, no jump will cause a car to launch higher than one and one
half (1.5) meters in height from the base of the jump. Any combination of multiple
jumps is considered to be a one-jump section and each track will have a minimum of
four (4) jump sections.
4.3 SAFETY
Safety for everybody must be the most important aspect when designing the track.
4.4 MAINTENANCE
The track surface may only be repaired at the end of qualifying.
Repairs may be made, at any time, with the concurrence of the Race Director and the
International Jury.
