4WD MTC Class Rules
F1 & F2 Championships
As we expect 4WD MTC to be the most popular class this season, we are introducing a sub-championship to support developing racers. All 4WD MTC entries will still be included in the overall championship, but racers eligible for F2 will benefit from a more relaxed ruleset to help them transition into the class.
F2 racers will be allowed to use any 2S 17.5 electronics, provided they are chosen for budget reasons rather than performance advantages.
F2 Championship Requirements:
- Racers must not have won a Clubman title or achieved more than three Championship A Final wins.
- Any racer who qualifies within three laps of the TQ racer will be automatically promoted to F1 status and required to follow the stricter championship rules.
