Racing For Holland and Soulbros inc. entered the first Davic system race at Charleroi race center. Davic is a digital system which makes it possible to race with 15 cars at a 6 lane track. With 4 lane change possibilties and driving the car in the same lane as some others is a complete new racing format.
Before entering the Davic track you need to built in a small electronic divice; some thing that communicates with the system. It makes detection of your car possible so you can independent run your car and control the lane switches.
Can you imagine racing with 15 cars. We were on drivers position 15!
Pictures say more than words. Double click to put it on HQ for the best view!
In the race you have to know how the lane switches work and how to get to a target lane. It took me some time to get used to that. A special thing is marshalling. It is as simple as it is! The cars have no lane stickers. So you do not have to think about what lane the deslotted car was running. In every corner there is an extra "inlane" to put the deslotted car back on the track.
The Davic system brings a new dimension of racing; lane racing tactics! In practise you try to drive to a fast lane, but some others will do or try that also, ha, ha. In "traffic" you will lose some time and it is a challenge to find the fastest way in the field.
It was an astonishing experience to be continued. I can not wait to race it again!
Breaking news: after a long time of silence, Soul Brothers Acura has arrived in the last stadium of finishing the car! Whatch the pics now. See the
huge progress that has been made by team captain Henri van Gool with support of Tamar Nelwan.
Zondag 4 januari 2009 is het dan eindelijk tijd voor de afsluiting van de eerste BMW M1 Procar Series, seizoen 2007-2008. Na de vierde race van
afgelopen november is de strijd in het Procar kampioenschap alleen nog maar spannender geworden. Drie coureurs hebben ieder nog kansen op de titel en
ook verder in de ranking is er nog van alles mogenlijk.
We willen de eerste series natuurlijk met net zo veel enthuisiasme eindigen als dat we het in 2007 begonnen zijn. En hopen dus dat van de 25 gebouwde
Procars ook alle rijders naast hun M1's aan de start zullen verschijnen. En niet alleen vanwegen het racen, want net zo belankrijk is het....
...om gezamenlijk het nieuwe jaar in te luiden
At races I have met several slotracers who showed their cars at nice homemade boards. Is it possible to make such a show board at low costs (for
economic reasons )?
Last weekend's "Big Wheels @ Spa" saw a major turn out of 18 teams racing their wide bodied, big winged and big wheeled 1/24 modelcars at the
beautiful Spa Francorchamps track in the Titanic Bowling center in Alsdorf.
They'd all came back with their Capri's, Porsche 935's and BMW 320 turbo's. For the second edition the grid from 12 cars (2007) to 18 cars in
2008. A clear
indication that Gr5 and their brothers in arms from across the pond (IMSA GT/GTU/GTX) are still very popular, even when raced with an inliner
chassis.
