This is my first time ever taking part in a complete Touring Car Race Day with a fully race prepared car. If you follow the channel you’ll know I’ve attended Ulster Model Car Club a few times in the past, I’ve always either arrived after first qualifying or missed practice as I’m bodging a repair to an unprepared vehicle. This time I really wanted to give it my best shot, I sat up until 03:30 the morning of race day getting all my kit in order and checking the car making sure I’d be ready to get some practice in prior to qualifying.
UMCC is Northern Ireland’s oldest running Model Car Club, established in 1984 running 1/10th Scale Off Road Buggies on their very own grass track, 40 years later they are still going strong with TWO venues to race at, in winter they run at Wellington College on a high grip carpet track that club volunteers have to build and dismantle every race day, in the summer however, it’s a different story altogether…. The club has their very own purpose built tarmac track located in Ballymoney at the Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre (somewhere I’ve never raced but plan to this year)
Join me to see if I can transfer my Off Road Racing skills to an ON Road Race Track!

Totally different driving style than I’m used to, but the car was very forgiving, looking forward to more track time and learning how to fine tune these cars 😃

This was great to watch Tim, I thought you said the xray was from 2003 at the beginning, that made me sit up as that was my era with tc's, and I remember seeing my 1st Xray around that time. I think we messaged a few months back as we were on similar return to racing journeys that and our love of crawling, well I too had my 1st race day in September, first in 18 years, and yes the shaking must be a new thing they've added, i don't remember that or Arthritic pain, took ages before i was well enough to get out of bed and order upgrades lol, Nice added info to this video, makes me think i've missed couple of episodes of this tc madness, i will go back through for a re watch over the weekend. Finally nice driving, was your rear becoming lose in later heats?

Thanks for the comment, I really enjoyed myself, the car felt like it was on rails… as for getting (loose) towards the end, I think it was more my driving style, was kinda trying different things, and I also remember putting tyre additive on a little late at one point so could have been that. (The tyres I was using were given to me as I didn’t have any of my own so they could well have been starting to go off, I’m not really experienced enough to tell what was happening, I’ve since purchased a new set so will try them next time. Glad you enjoyed the video, can’t wait to get out again 😃

Haha love the shout out 😂 Blinky = ESC mode where the ESC will only offer 0deg timing to the motor, in this mode at idle there is a coloured blinking light hence "blinky" Timing on motors can be changed, usually a sweetspot of kv, rpm and amp draw around 6 amps. *UMCC club rules don't currently and likely won't follow the BRCA National rules of HW 17.5 "combos" for TC racing (identical to frontie rules)

@@TimsRcsurgery PS: I don't think I was even aware of being a lap up in leg2, not entirely sure where the gap came down to cross the line. Most days I don't follow timings until the finals are posted and lately I've missed or late started at least one final per day.🤣 Anxiety/panic brain was working against me all day so starting one less final was actually a benefit, I joined late and ran the car to see if gremlins were fixing themselves lol

@@TimsRcsurgery It's actually serious business 🤣 The B final is soo competitive now, for a while it was basically "the others" who didn't make the A but it's got a vibe of it's own, and it's really clean and close racing so a result means something..

Thanks for the sub 😃 I try not to take it too seriously, it has to be fun, but I’d be telling lies if I said I wasn’t competitive 🤣 I’d get just as nervous with rc racing as I did when I raced mx bikes 🤷‍♂️
