DTM 2002

DISON (B): THURSDAY, AUGUST 28 TSRF-NSR 132 WORLDS

The publication of the coat of arms does not signify that the event should be organised by the municipality.	The 1/32nd Model Car World Championship is already scheduled since December 1985 (IMCA's foundation before notary Ernst van Tricht), however NEVER was organised. This year the first edition will be organised as curtain raiser for the 18th Nations Cup on Thursday August 28 at the superb 42m Carrera 6-laner of Dison, Belgium. Sponsored by DTM's Vodafone, by Scalextric and by Ninco, the race goes with 2002 DTM bodies, fully respecting IMCA's racing philosophy: all entrants use the same handout TSRF-NSR 32 chassis, the same handout TSRF motor, the same NSR tires and the same NSR controller - ensuring the fairest possible race conditions. All the racers need to do is bringing a (correct!) hard plastic body (Scalextric, Ninco or SCX) to the raceway. Entry fee is down to € 25. Number of racers is restricted to 46. Of them 24 enter the prequalification race. The two first of this race join the 22 top-racers earlier selected for the 132 Worlds (all 22 they are ranked among the top-50 of the continuous international ranking; among them also the top-10 of the world). Attribution of 2002 DTM bodies followed a pretty simple principle. Best 2002 DTM racer was Laurent Aiello, driving the n°3 Audi TT-R. Best ranked slot racer on April 30 was Josef Korec (CZ), so Korec has to race the n°3 Audi TT-R. Second best 2002 DTM racer was Bernd Schneider, driving the n°1 Mercedes CLK-DTM. Second best slot-racer on the list is Frantisek Poledna. So Poledna has to race the n°1 Mercedes. And so on. Consult the table below and you understand the attribution principle of the bodies. Track is the typical model car Carrera plastic 6-laner of the Dison Mini Racing Club, being 42 metres long with. Entrants receive free hotel for the night of Wednesday to Thursday at the Grimbergen Thermae Palace, where a shuttle will pick them up at 6h00 in the morning.. All they need to do is to bring the correct DTM body with them - the rest (RTR motorised and marked chassis, including tires) they receive at registration. Please don't forget to bring with you your 124 Nascar Concourse Car, since Concourse will be done at Dison, before the start of the main final. Dison is an old rural town, originated in the first century. Its name appears no earlier than by 1268. Actually it counts 13,887 inhabitants and is situated in Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium. The 132 IMCA Model Car Worlds are the curtain raiser for the 18th Nations Cup.

TRACK, CONTROLLERS & SPORTIVE RULES

	IMCA model car races go always without use of the own controller. We use the famous NSR digital controllers with interchangeable switches, being the best controllers on the market. The controllers are equipped with two buttons, the right one regulating the brakes and the blue one regulating the acceleration. Controllers are not switched during the lane rotation. Any trial to sabotage of the controller will be sanctionned with exclusionfrom IMCA racing for a period of at least 5 years. Lane change is done exclusively by the marshals. Shouting at the marshals is absolutely forbidden with sanctions as warning (first time), 5 laps penalty (second time), disqualification (third time). Speaking is NOT allowed during racing on the same sanction. Racers found at the end of the race with a too low clearance loose 10 percent of their achieved laps. Race director is IMCA's Bob Demeyer, assisted at the computer by JPVR. Both are not entering the race. The event will be anounced to the press by the local club. Local TV and French-speaking press will be present at the race.
