wide open rules again, ladies and gentleman, so build your fastest, smoothest 1/43rd car for this race. just tune your stock SCX car a little and maybe blow the doors off all others, built something that was not seen before, it´s up to you.

[BARC 1]

I'm in this year. Expect to see some BARC factory cars entered.<grin>

Good to see you recycling the BARC Porsche that you had for testing.

I have a new design for you to tryout. CCR 1 and CCR 2( Credit Card Racer). Parts arrived in the mail to improve the motor mount on the CCR so I will get busy and get a new CCR chassis specially built for the race.

Entries to date look awesome.

Cheers


Dan

The BARC Porsche is finished and already took some laps on the Desmo. Right now, the Minis are only going behind the Porsche by three tenth of a second.

[BARC 1]

January 12 Kleskun Hills Raceway



The BARC team continued with it's chassis set up and went back to the drawing board to come up with a better handling inline chassis then had previously been tested.

The two unique chassis designs were put through their paces today and the team principle was pleased with the results.

" As a new team to this scale and event we are running a little blind as to what the competiton might have to offer. Earlier testing last year at DESMO indicated we were on the right track with the basics, but needed chassis work to make the most of the power we had. This year we have focused on a drivable chassis that will instill confidence in the drivers to push these cars to the limit."

Both cars performed well, and there is not much more we can do to prepare them for the Race in February. They just need to be painted and they can be loaded in the transported to get them to DESMO

great words from the BARC Team again :D

very nice chassis work, the guys from the Puddle Dude race team can´t wait to get them in their hands :)
The Porsche Cayman bodies look great too, looking forward to see some progress.

In the meantime, the PDRT is thinking about another entry, the orange MCA is maybe getting a new printed chassis using Carrera Go! parts (motor and gears) along with printed wheels :)

and what also happens if there is an upcoming race:

[BARC 1]

Cars are painted. I'll give them a week to dry and then package them up to send to the DESMO circuit.

[pfuetze]

oh, they look great, Dan!
can wait to get them in my hands!
very nice paint and decals!
