EFRA releases 2015 race calendar

Following last weekend’s EFRA AGM, the European governing body have announced the (provisional) dates for next year’s European Championships. A busy Summer season starts with 2 ‘B’ championships, while next year the 200mm nitro on-road class sees a combined A and B championship being run in Turkey. The 2 40+ titles round out the season along with the usual ‘A’ titles that are up for grabs in the Summer. New is a dedicated European Championship for the growing 1/8th E-buggy class that will be held in August at the Austrian Fehring track. Beside the introduction of the 1/8th E-buggy class, EFRA will also try and establish the 1/8th nitro GT class with the governing body trying to evaluate a sensible set of rules based on existing GT/Rally rules. Several classes also saw clarifications on existing rules with the electric classes are not allowed to run “hybrid” motors built from the parts of different manufacturers anymore. The 1/12th scale Stock class will run 13.5T motors in the future and 1/8th nitro buggies will have to use 16 percent nitro fuel from 2016 on. Full AGM details can be found here.
