With only 6 weeks to first RCCAOI round, I thought I'd stick a bit of info up for the newbies :thumbsup:

1. The RCCAOI (Radio Controlled Car Association of Ireland) is the sport's governing body which runs the Irish National Championship each year.

2. This year there is a Modified and a Clubman (10.5 motors or greater) class at each event. It is hoped that everyone will take part.

3. Your overall position will determine whether you are offered an entry for the next Euros/Worlds

4. All of the events in 2011 are scheduled to be held in Griffeen Valley, but it is hoped that as soon as another club is in a position to hold a round of the series that they will.

5. Your performance in the RCCAOI series determines your formula grading for the following year. So if you do well at the nationals, you may find yourself in a faster heat next year.

Ill add more info as I think of it - or else you can post a question.

Does this include Clubman 4WD?

Does this include Clubman 4WD?

I can't speak for the Association, but I don't see why not. I think its very important that the RCCAOI caters for all levels of racers in an effort to increase the pool of knowledge and ultimately make drivers faster.

I would imagine that a 4wd clubman class can only benefit the championship and section.

I will speak to Tony Kavanagh (the RCCAOI 1/10 Offroad rep) and ask him about this, or he may respond directly if he looks at the this thread.

I would suggest that the class is goverened to be most beneficial for the novice racers - maybe the "Stock" spec advanced timing esc's should be banned....?..... otherwise it defeats the spirit of the competition

If you were making up a ruleset for a clubman I would strongly advise that "stock" spec speed controllers are outlawed or at least made sure they don't use the advancing profiles as otherwise you're just running a modified. My GM120 2010 + Graupner 10.5t can easily beat a 6.5t and give most 5.5t's a run for their money.

14-03-2011, 08:05 PM

hows it going lads.with respects to a 10.5 4wd clubman class it is planned and once there is interset will be run.the spirit of the clubman class will be no advance timing allowed and spot checks will be performed.also motor timing is to be as per manufacturer settings when new.if you wish to run a 10.5 with timing advance you would be welcome in the modified class.
entries for the nationals will be taken on the day but pre entry would be greatly appriciated(entries to me at [email protected] stating name,club and class entered and crystals.)
as will mentioned the membership fee to join the rccaoi is 10 euro one off payment plus 5 euro one off payment per class,with a race fee on each day to be confirmed with the dmcc. feel free to contact me on oople or at the above email with any questions you may have

Hi Ivan,

Stock spec speedo defeats the purpose of the clubman class. The speedo can be tuned so the 10.5 goes more like a 6.5.

I'll be making recommendation to the Association rep that rather than "banning" these speedos that any driver with one should only race in the Modified section. It means that the Clubman section will remain a nursery for emerging talent and a very level playing field.

Not long till the outdoors now!! Can't wait :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

15-03-2011, 03:13 PM

Hey,

Everyone just needs to take a step back for a minute.

For the numbers we have banning anything like speedo will do more harm than good. Apart from adding additional work to the people running the day.

This is a quote from the manual for the LRP Sxx StockSpec V2

Boost Zero Mode
If value #0 is chosen for Mode.2 AND Mode.3 (e.g. factory default!) the blue LED will flash in neutral trigger position to indicate that entire timing advancement is disabled for „true stock racing“ as required by certain federations!

So as long as there are no advance timing / power features used on the speedo, I don't see any issue with any driver using any speedo that they have.

They will just have to be able to show that they have no advanced features of the speedo activated.

sorry just re read my previous post and realised its not that clear.we WILL NOT be banning any speedos.as mick posted there are quick and easy ways of telling whether speedos are set for advance timing(we will just have to do our homework before the events:cry:).i honestly dont think its going to be an issue with the group of racers we currently have in the dmcc or the lads from up north,but we will be prepared if there is any dodgy carry on.

If you use the speedo on setting 1-4 for the power and not 5-8 its non-timing advance. Any of the higher (5-8) settings use timing advance trickery and goes against the ethos of the stock class.

I think I'll run with the big boys as I have barely a 10.5 to my name (I killed 2 in Naul at Xmas!) - if we get any youngsters down, it's likely they'll be running brushless RTR B4.1s and the like, so 3300kv motors (10.5) are exactly right for clubman class.

I know a bit about Hobbywing speedos, so can advise on those. They also make a true stock speedo for just this sort of occurence, the Justock, and the best part is, it's £34 from Giantcod!

It also does well in F1s, crawlers (with outrunner motors!) and I'm sure a few other classes, so easy to find a new home once the driver graduates to mod racing.

I rather like that the RCCAOI doesn't have a homologation list, prefering the common sense "no, you'll have to take that afterburner and wheel scythes off" approach to such things. No real need when the association is relatively small.

It costs 10 euros to join the RCCAOI, and a race fee for each day also applies - more info later.

Ok, here is some clarification for you all, with 5 and a bit weeks to go till the first 4wd national round....

Classes:
4wd Clubman - see RCCAOI rules - plus the following applies: 10.5 or greater motor only, timing advance on esc set to factory default settings.

4wd Modified - see RCCAOI rules

2wd Clubman - see RCCAOI rules - plus the following applies: 10.5 or greater motor only, timing advance on esc set to factory default settings.

2wd Modified - see RCCAOI rules

Each meeting has 4 rounds of 'round by round' qualifying - your 2 best qualifying scores are added together to give your grid position. Pole gets 100, 2nd gets 99, 3rd gets 98, 4th gets 97 etc.
There are then 2 finals for all. Winner of the A final gets 100 points, 2nd gets 99, 3rd gets 98 etc, etc.
So after qualifying and 2 finals, everybody should ahve 3 scores of which you add up your two best - this gives us the final classifiations. Maximum points available on each round is 200.

It'll be a tough championship this year - really looking forward to it.

Hi all,

Just a reminder about the RCCAOI round on Sunday May 1st.
The National round is for 4wd cars only, but there will be a normal days racing for 2wd cars also - so please come racing as normal.

The current track design will stay the same until the national round is over - so you will be tackling a new track for the next club championship round on May 8th.

Best of luck, and I hope you will all support a great event.

Hi All,

Just a quick reminder about racing in Griffeen Valley this Sunday - May 1st: it's the first RCCAOI round for 4wd only. So classes being raced on the day are;

4wd Modified (RCCAOI only - open to everyone, register on the day)
4wd Clubman (RCCAOI only - open to everyone, register on the day)
2wd Modified (All DMCC members and guests)
2wd Clubman (All DMCC members and guests)

I hope that anyone with a 4wd 1/10th Electric Offroad car from all over the island will come and participate. The clubman class means that there will be great competition amongst the novice drivers using 10.5 turn or greater motors.

PM me if you have any questions,

Legacy555

26-04-2011, 01:22 PM

I should also have mentioned that the track is now closed until Sunday morning. This is to allow as much grass recovery as possible before the national round.

Anyone found using a car on the track prior to open practice on Sunday morning will be deemed to have damaged the track surface on purpose and may be subject to a disciplinary measure.

Be warned....

Just a thought . Maybe you should run a club 2wd class as not all 2wd drivers will register for nats and possibly drivers who normally run 4wd will only want to run in 2wd nats:confused:
You dont want 2wd drivers not running in nats to think they wont have a race.

The 2wd and 4wd clubman class has been specifically introduced this year to do away with the need for coinciding "club" racing to take place on the day of the RCCAOI national event.

We need as many people as possible to register and race in the nationals as a report and photos will be going into Racer magazine and we need to look healthy.

It's 15euro to join the Rccaoi with electric class included, for anyone already a member in a different class (eg nitro 1/8) its 5 euro to register for a extra class.

Race fees are either 5 or 10 euro , think someone from the Club committee will need to confirm that.

Hi Ed,

RCCAOI annual membership (for all) is 10 euros
DMCC Race fee is 5 euros for members, 10 euros for non-members

Remember that the club lays on covered pitting and 230v electricity.

Not quite right Will, the rccaoi is €10 annual membership +€5 per class so in reality is €15. Totalling €25 for the first round but then only €10 club fees for subsequent rounds.

It's pricey if you pay it all on one day - but the idea is to join the RCCAOI in January, so that you only pay the 10 euro race fee on the day.

if you are an member of RACCAOI but not a DMCC member it is €15
~€5 RACCAOI 1/10th off-road class registartion, covers both 2wh and 4wh (once off yearly payment)
~€5 DMCC Insurance
~€5 DMCC Race fees

For any round after that it if non DMCC member is €10
that includes:
~€5 DMCC Insurance
~€5 DMCC Race fees

if you are a member of both then it is €5
~€5 DMCC Race fees

there is no different in prices for adult and junior.

Congratulations to Derek McCloskey (Schumacher Cougar SV) for winning the first 2wd round of the Irish Nationals (Modified section). Derek won in style as top qualifier and winning both A Finals to secure the maximum points tally on what has to the filthiest, wettest, muckiest meeting that I have been at in years. The Cougar SV proved to be a very good car in these conditions with the motor almost over the rear axle giving Derek great traction and balance. Well done Derek!

William White (TLR 22) was second having battled hard in qualifying to set the fastest time when the track was damp. However, as the conditions worsened the Losi, in mid-motor guise, became more and more uncompetitive and probably would have faired better in rear-motor configuration.

Michael Bolger (AE B4.1) was third overall after qualifying 5th on the grid. As the conditions worsened the performance difference between mid and rear motored cars seemed to close and reverse, giving Mick the upper hand in wetter conditions.

The Clubman section of the meeting was won by Michael O'Leary (AE B4.1) - more clubman details when I get the results up.

*** Just a quick note to thank all of the drivers who travelled down from the North to race. It was a miserable day, but I hope that you all enjoyed it and hope that you will come to the next round in August - hopefully in dryer conditions ***

More news as I get it......:p

Great days craic @ DMCC on Sunday as expected, despite the weather. Hope Colin's gazebo dried out!

The track was a lot tighter than I remember before at Lucan, but IMO very enjoyable to drive, especially when it (briefly!) dried out in Q2/Q3. 22 racers was a good sign to me too, bearing in mind the weather and a few unavailable on the day for other reasons.

It's a sign of the times when racers are amazed at needing to clean their cars after a heat. Makes the green astroturf fluff a bit of a non event after the muck that built up on the cars at the weekend!

My car was delighted to meet up with old friends again too - not sure how many previous owners it had racing on the day! :)

Seeding for the 1st National Round should be done using the results from the previous year. As your class is new for 2011 we dont have rankings to go by. So for Round 2 what should happens is drivers are seeded/rank based on the results from round 1 and you will be seeded accordingly for the second National meeting. Heats the next day are sorted using rankings to sort you in your heat.

Legacy555

07-06-2011, 10:44 AM

Having just competed in my first 2wd national ( and wet ) event and having a great days racing despite the conditions i have a few ideas and questions on the formation of the heat grids for national rounds.
How are they done ?
I would like suggest, where there is more than one qualifying grid for a class. 1, a practice run and then drivers seeded accordingly. 2, an open draw, or 3, another way would be to be gridded in your heat on receipt of entry that might also have the effect of encouraging earlier entries.
I would also say thanks to all who competed on the day and the committee for doing a great job in the conditions running a successful event.:thumbsup:

Hi Ivan,
Yeah, you were held up all day in the slow heat :mad: fair play to you for not loosing your rag over it. I know within the DMCC we are addressing this problem with the introduction of the seeding system last year and constant scrutiny of it so that it can be improved/developed as the club grows.

The nature of the RCCAOI is not as progressive, partially because up to this year they only ran 2 events a year (6 this year) meaning that motivation to develope the rule book is low, and partially because up to this year the events were only a formality to decide who was going to the euros/worlds - there was no clubman class previously.

If I was involved in the RCCAOI, and I won't be until my (and current committee's) plan for the rebirth of the DMCC is complete, I would introduce several rulings to advance level of competition in the championship....

1. Euros and Worlds places should be limited to F1 and F2 drivers as per the DMCC rulebook. This means that top drivers will have to put together a minimum of a 2-year plan to qualify for these meetings. And means that we can invite UK/Euro drivers to the event without the risk of it being "hijacked".

2. All drivers should be given an ability grading in their class based on results from thier club championship meetings. Winner 100pts, 2nd 99pts etc etc - this means that all RCCAOI heats can be seeded without prior participation in the championship in previous years. (And will sort your problem)

4. The RCCAOI should introduce a clubman class in each section - 1/8th, 1/10th, onroad, offroad - and then select a "Novice of the Year" with a big hoo-haa and fanfair - maybe sponsor a trip away for him.... this will show that we are proactive in Ireland and not awaiting instructions from the mothership (BRCA/EFRA) - as has been the case for the last 30 years.....

Just some thoughts
