Our weekly race program is just one day away! We wanted to take a moment to present a spotlight on our primary class, 1/10 FWD.
After several years of mixed class attendance at our weekly events, the popularity of the FWD in Florida State Series, brought it's excitement and a collaborative decision by racers to transition to the 1/10th FWD class, and the results have been outstanding! While we welcome any groups of 3 or more to participate, the FWD class has become the track favorite, often bringing over 15 racers to the class, for a variety of reasons.
First and foremost, the vehicles bring a simplicity and affordability that make it easier to make the leap into the hobby. Combine reasonable chassis costs with friendly price points with our class rules for control tires and electronics, and a complete race package is easy to build and maintain.
Don't take the simplicity as meaning low performance. These things are fast!! A well built FWD car with an experienced driver behind the controls can bring a challenge to many other classes. At Tamiami RC Raceway, we embrace SPEED, and our class rules allow for open gearing to extract the top performance out of the vehicles at our fast and flowing track!
Most importantly, the cars are FUN to drive! Once properly assembled, the FWD cars enjoy a broad setup window, that make them easy to learn and drive competitively on the track. Meanwhile more experienced drivers are also able to squeeze every ounce of performance out of the cars to challenge each other at a high level. Overall the goal is to have fun and these cars make it possible for everyone!
Come out Wednesday nights to see the cars in action, or even better, join the fun!
