WEC 6h Spa Francorchamps @ Rockingham Slot Car Club

The Digital Slot Car Association is pleased to announce a new six hour endurance event in partnership with Rockingham Slot Car Club.

Date:
The race will take place Sunday 12th November 2017.

The weekend is a double-header format with the DiSCA GT3 Euroseries event taking place on Saturday 11th November.

On Friday 10th November the club will open for visiting teams to set-up, submit cars for technical inspection, get firmware updates and partake in free practice using W.E.C. cars. The opportunity to participate in Rockingham Slot Car Club’s regular Friday club night will also be given.

A full schedule for the weekend is given in the sporting regulations.

Venue:
ROCKINGHAM SLOT CAR CLUB

UNIT 1, WANSELL ROAD

CORBY, NORTHANTS NN17 5LX

Drinks and snacks are available from the club kitchen. There are several take-away food outlets, eateries and supermarkets in the nearby area.

The club has recently been extended to host the BSCRA Nationals circuit, on top of which the 6h circuit will be built.

The circuit will be thematically representative of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium.

Corner construction and decoration will be based on the Spa circuit wherever possible, although necessary compromises will be made in order that the circuit is accommodated within the layout of the figure-8 BRSCA track.
