I would to introduce you a project that we are working on and aiming for the 2024 5th scale season in France!

It will be a 3 rounds GP-like challenge for all the standard 5th scale categories : 2WD, 4WD, SC.

We are actually working on securing the clubs that will host the 3 rounds, and we are trying to convenient locations for everyone.

The race week-end will follow a typical French national scheme, with practice & quals on saturdays and final rounds on sundays.

Romain Walter will be at the track from friday afternoon to advice on setups, maintenance, race line & driving, ...

An overall ranking will be made based on the 3 rounds, and winners are expected to get nice prizes.

Of course, we are also cooking some special treats with side "fun races" saturdays late afternoon, but you will know more in a bit only.
