Slot Car Racing Abroad - SRC Eindhoven, Netherlands

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Follow me on my trip to The Netherlands to compete in the Suzuka Doube Digital Race race weekend at SRC Eindhoven in Best, NL. Saturday would be comprised of two ninety minute races for DiSCA GT3 Euroseries specification cars, with Sunday being a six hour endurance for DiSCA WEC specification cars.
Together with English diver Dave Maddock and Slot.it company President Maurizio Ferrari, we took on both races in the new Slot.it Nissan Nismo GT-R GT3.

    Great video, Gary! Excellent picture quality. I guess it was rather troublesome driving in the dark with so little lighting installed around the track. Also it seems that one end of the track is much darker than the other side. Great shots though!👍

    Just found your channel and ate up all your videos. Great! Looking for tuneup and trick adjustments on cars themselves. I have Carrera cars but open to others if I see a reason. So if you can post pit tuneup tips that make a difference that would be enjoyable. Thx

    Hi Gary, as I said, digital Slot Racing in German Clubs are still very very rare. For bigger scale I created a rule set "MiniZ Super24 Competition Digital" (1:27) optimized for digital races on carrera tracks at home based on my experience on wooden tracks. Your DiSCA is super interesting. Could you please make a video about the different classes and how to set up a car? I would like to introduce these classes in Germany. For digital slot racing it's that kind of "standard" that's missing. Something that is well established in the analog world. So looking forward to the next video! Keep it up!

    Thanks so much. I’ll see what I can do, making videos about the DiSCA categories is a great idea but there’s a lot to cover. And yes - a lack of standard was why DiSCA was created in the first place!

    @@slotcarazing I am in contact with Leon from Eindhoven to get more details. Is there a specific forum to get more connection to drivers, events and so on? Do you think that DiSCA would work in smaller scale on carrera tracks? They are very common in Germany. I know about the advantages of oxigen system - still I got the carrera system to work for 6 vehicles (power supply, new electronic etc.).

    @@slotracing.digital Most of the larger events are announced and discussed via SlotForum. DiSCA racing is not exclusive to oXigen and there are several people running races using DiSCA standards on SSD, so there’d be no reason why you couldn’t do that for D132. If you wanted a simpler formula for more standard cars then check out DiSCA GT4 Clubman for Carrera, which is aimed exactly at stock D132 Carrera cars and would be well suited for small Carrera tracks / clubs. It might be best to discuss via email rather than YT comments, Leon could probably share our address with you. Thanks!

    I think for clubs with plastic tracks it’ll be between Policar and the new Scaleauto track, but it won’t happen quickly. Club tracks are a huge investment and not just financial. I doubt any club will be in a hurry to decommission what they have unless there are pre-existing issues that would make building a new track from scratch a viable option.

    They’re not, always. In DiSCA racing LMP1 has a marked downforce advantage from the motor orientation, while LMP2 and GT are fairly well balanced against each other and trade advantages between weight and downforce. That being said certain tracks suit certain cars better, the twisty layout of Suzuka shown in this video will favour a sidewinder car which is only possible with a GT. It also comes down to talent. This Suzuka layout is one of the most difficult tracks in the world and the fastest local drivers, who are more familiar with the layout, will have an advantage over visitors no matter what car they are driving. Thanks for watching!
