1. The cars are to be a model of a car raced in the Australian Touring Car Championship
between to 1979. These are production & improved production classes.
Sports Sedan Class is not permitted .
Cars must be standard as produced by the model car manufacturer except for below.
If Scratch built or assembled models the entry must be
within 10% of 1/32 scale dimensions.
.The owner of the model may be required to produce authentic dimensions &
photographs of the 1:1 scale car as competing in the ATCC between to 1979
2. Rear tires and wheels may be changed but to be within 2mm of the1/32 scale size.
The tires have to be those classified as rubber or urethane composition.
No tires classified as silicon composition are allowed. (e.g. Indy Grips)
3. It is encouraged and hoped that the model and livery resembles closely that of
the original (1:1) car that competed in the A.T.C.C. to 1979.
However to encourage compeditors to this class ithe following will be allowed :
The model has to be a 1/32 scale representation of a car, that competed in the
A.T.C.C. to 1979 in the production & improved production class.
The livery of the model car does not have to be the same as the vehicle that
competed in the A.T.C.C.to1979
4. The maximum downforce allowed is 240 g.
The downforce magnet is to be situated within 10mm of the rear axle or from the
manufacturer's original position.
A greater downforce may be allowed if the chassis design
does not allow under 9second laps. This increase will be calculated & then lap time tested.
A marshelling magnet max. 10mm diameter inside & in the center of the roof is
recomended to expediate car retreval.
5. Only plastic chassis will be allowed. Guide sled & pick up braids can be from
another manufacturer.
6. The maximum rated speed of the motor allowed is 20,000 RPM.
The maximum car speed allowed 36 kph.
I the car is produced with a motor that revs higher than 20,000 RPM then a resistor can be
fitted to adjust the motor to less than 20.000rpm.
1. The cars are to be a model of a car raced before 1989 in any Country under F.I.A. control
Car dimensions must be within 20% tolerance of correct 1/32 scale models
The owner of the model car may be required to produce authentic dimensions &
photographs of the 1:1 scale car
2. Rear tires and wheels may be changed but to be within 20% of the1/32 scale size.
The tires have to be those classified as rubber or urethane composition.
No tires classified as silicon composition are allowed. (e.g. Indy Grips)
3. It is encouraged and hoped that the model and livery resembles closely that of
the original (1:1) car
The livery of the model car does not have to be the same as the 1:1 vehicle
4. The magnetic down force is to be no greater than 240 g
The downforce magnet is to be situated within 10mm of the rear axle or from the

A marshelling magnet are not required but are allowed if fitted.
5. The car can be completely or partially scratch built. The chassis can be metal.
the bodies can be made of any material (including clear vacuum formed)
.The whole car must not exceed a weight of 150g - excluding the magnetic down force.
the body must be painted . model driver is prefered but not compulsary
6. The recommended maximum rated speed of the motor is 20,000 RPM.
Motors rated higher than will need the approval of the race director who may require
the revs limeted by some form of voltage control or run on lower track power.
The maximum car speed allowed 36 kph.
Magnet Polarization - Check with a compass held near where the magnet is located
North points away from the car ( South towards the magnet ).
This applies for both the marshal magnet & the down force magnets (under the car)
Touring & GT Cars - Place one magnet inside and in the center of the roof
Scalextric F1 2001+. and Open Cockpit Sports Cars - require 2 magnets - one in each side pod.
Marshals are equipped with a clamping pick up arm with a strong magnet
fitted to one of the "claws" of he pick up arm .
The magnets in the car must be fitted so they are polarized to be attracted to the magnets
in the pick up stick. Once one of your cars is correct polarity use it to check the others are
the same polarity by having a marked test magnet to check the new car against the correct car.
Check the down force magnet under the car also with your marked magnet.
Sometimes the down force magnets have to be rolled 180 degrees in the holder.
A Lane Sticker can indicate magnet position
Touring cars & GT Cars - It is advised to place a large lane sticker on the roof
indicating where the magnet is located.
(Note! Place a small sticker for the other lane over the Large sticker when required.
Remove the small sticker when returning to the original lane. Presto less sticker changes! )
Open Wheeled Cars - (F1 & Indy, ) and open sports cars
Place one small lane sticker over each magnet -(if they are located in the pods. )
or if one magnet use one sticker over the magnet position.
Contact adhesive (Selly's Gel Grip) is used to stick the magnet(s) to the body.
Another magnet placed on the outside of the roof retains the marshal magnet(s) while the glue sets.
