Official Rules 2018 v.1.1
September 5 2017
Changes to the previous rules are marked in red
The International Proxy Series is for any GT or Sports road racer (two seats, full fenders, open or closed cockpit,has to have been entered at least once) from 1965 or earlier in 3 classes according to the position (in the slot car) of the motor:
-Rear engined
-Front engined.In order to be eligible for this class cars have to be built according to the relevant rules otherwise they will be automatically classified as rear engined
-Slimline engined
Organization:
The International Proxy Series (IPS) field will be restricted to 32 entrants. The entry fee is US$30 per car and individuals and manufacturers are encouraged to prepare and submit cars. Each entrant may enter up to 2 cars(or 3 as discribed in registration thread) ,second&third car fee US$ 20. The IPS is organized by Alexis Gaitanis (alexis in greece).
Cars are to be posted to:
Alexis Gaitanis

Vrilisia 15235
Greece
and must arrive to the race central before tech ,on March 20 2018.The first 2 local rounds will be held end of March -begining of April 2018,there will be no penalty for late arrivals but they might miss one or both rounds.
All cars will be photographed and will pass through technical inspection as they arrive until March 20. If a car is found to be out of compliance with rules the car will at the organizer’s discretion have adjustments or modifications made in collaboration with the car owner to bring the car in compliance of IPS rules, or the car will be returned to the owner (time permitting) to be brought within compliance of IPS rules. No changes to cars beyond maintenance and necessary repair will be made after passing through technical inspection.
Finishing order for each round of the proxy race, and the entire series, will be determined by distance covered, based on laps within a set amount of time. A minimum of 3 minutes racing time per car per lane is required at each track. Otherwise, each race will be conducted according to procedures chosen by the individual track host. Each car is to be raced in a fair and equal manner and subject to the same track conditions. Lane and driver rotations to be determined by track host. Track voltage,preferably 12 volts, determined by race host, but should be equal for all cars.
There will be three classifications
-Distance:Top finisher of each race will get a score of 100 and subsequent finishers will get a score equal to the percentage of the distance of top finisher covered.Example:if top finisher completes 50 laps and scores 100 and second completes 49 laps he scores 98(49=98% of 100)
-Concours:only cars with custom paint/liveries are eligible,scoring is 18-14-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 points.As there might be more than one judge in each race each car will receive the average score.Example if a car gets from 3 judges 18 10 and 5 the score for that race will be 11(18+10+5=33/3=11)
-Scratchbuilt chassis:any allowed material but cars with laser cut or 3d printed chassis are not eligible.Scoring is 18-14-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 points accoridng to finishing order in each race
In case ot ties number of wins will be taken into account,then number of seconds and so on
A running inspection of cars is to be made before and after each race. Cars may be cleaned, lubricated and tires sanded. Minor repairs such as braid , wire or screw replacement, gear adjustment or wheel reattachment to take place prior to the car being raced and will not be penalized. If car breaks during a race the track owner or driver may repair that car during its race heat time and return it to the track losing only the time needed for repair. A broken car, if running, may complete its race heats at the track owner’s discretion. Major repairs which take longer than race time, such as chassis fix, guide fix, gear or motor replacement will be completed at the track. If the car’s owner wishes, the damaged car will be sent home for repair between races at the car owner’s expense. Car is to be forwarded to the next event also at the owner’s expense.

-5% of distance covered in each race if the issue cannot be fixed
IV. Motors
1) Motors must be stock, as manufactured, but may be run-in prior to this race series. No changes or modifications to motor are permitted aside from removal of capacitors, chokes, or resistors external to the motor.
2) No capacitors or other electrical devices may be fitted to motor circuit, except for as-manufactured suppressor and lighting devices.
3) Motors drawing excessive current, which results in slowing other cars on the track, or tripping of overload protectors in track circuit, will be regarded as faulty and disqualified from racing on that track.
4) Motors are limited to Ninco NC1, NC8, BWA FF-050 slim can (old and new 2013 version), BWA-NC1 (old and new 2013 version), Cartrix TX-1, Pink Kar Power Plus 1, Artin white endbell 13,000 RPM/12v motor,M/T FF-050/SL1 slim can and M/T FC-130/SL1(M/T -1 FC130).

To overcome the BWA motor availability as of September 20 there will be small stock available to entrants (for the time being only NC1 type) at a cost of US$ 6 per motor plus postage.
Postage costs (covers up to 6 motors) to Europe 7.20 US$(6.06 euros) , ROW 7.50 US$ .For those living in the UK there is the possibility of posting the motors from London to save on postage (as friends and family travel to and from frequently) provided there is time.
As I hate penalties ,the following rules infringements have surfaced in previous years,please avoid them:
-mechanical parts show under cockpit
-tires too wide
-ground clearence
-width over 57 mm
This race series is to be conducted in a friendly manner. Any entrants, hosts, race organizers or spouses of said participants found guilty of impeding the delivery of this proxy will be judged by their peers. Any skulduggery, pirating, intimidation or bribery is highly recommended. I have a weakness for beer.
Have a great proxy.
