Formula
Mini Stocks
4 cell contact class, designed to replicate the full-size Mini Stocks. Traditionally, the cars run without any suspension components whatsoever, using only the natural flex of the car’s rectangular GRP chassis to aid handling. Cars were originally limited to only using mechanical speed controllers, although ESCs have since become legal for this class.
The class came about when Mardave launched their original Mini Stock kit, with beam front axle, mechanical speed controller and 1-piece rear wheel/spur gear assemblies.A completely redesigned kit was launched in the late nineties, featuring V12 style wishbones on the front and a V12 motor pod; whilst the basic suspension-less design of the original cars.

Hotrods
The Hot Rod class came about with the launch of the Mardave V-Dub (later V12) kit in the late nineties.Originally, hot rods had a choice of 2 control tyres, mechanical speed controllers and Mardave control batteries, but the class has since evolved to arguably the fastest class in 1/12th oval racing with a huge range of cars and motors and batteries available.
In 2009, the BRCA ran a brushless Hot Rod class at National level for the first time, where an open choice of motor/speed controller was permitted, within a price limit.The series was voted to be continued into 2010, alongside the brushed class. At march race way we also now allow brushles motors and lipos to be used in this class.

Classic Hotrods
Classic hot rods are similar to there hot rod cousins except they run a fixed gearing, brushed motors and nimh battery and are restricted to pre 70s abs body shells that would have been used in hot rods in the past.
F2 Stockcar
The original 1/12th oval class, Stockcars have been around since the late seventies/early eighties, with Mardave and Lectricar both selling production Stockcar kits in the early days of the sport.These cars originally ran on 4 cells, although as people began modifying these cars and putting home-made bottom chassis on them they eventually moved to 6 cells as the standard.
Until 2009, BRCA rules dictated that cars had to run a mechanical speed controller, which could make packaging all the components inside the top-chassis a challenge, but 2010 regs saw competitors allowed to run ESCs for the first time.
Fast forward to 2017 and F2s was now becoming its own formula separate to the original Stockcar formula now know as F1 stock cars.
F2 stock cars are fast be coming one of the most advanced and technical classes in the sport with many people running fully adjustable highly modified or scratch built cars, this makes for some fast and exiting raceing!

Bangers
The banger class has been around since the days of the original Mini Stock, but has evolved into a more technologically advanced class with the release of Mardave’s Hotrod- based banger kits. Most bangers now use a the Kamtec banger kit, although Mardave and largeit kits are also availible.
With no marshalling, the skill in the 4-cell bangers, is to complete as many laps as possible without ending up stranded on your roof, breaking down, or getting knocked out of the track. Most banger nationals include a last-man-standing DD, or Demolition Derby, where the last mobile car on the track wins.

1300 Saloon Stox
An evolution of the Minis, the Modified Mini class became the Saloon class in the late eighties, with racers modifying their cars to run 6 cells as opposed to 4 cell, and to handle better with some form of aftermarket/homebrew chassis.These cars were generally based on Mini Stock style parts with a beam front axle and a shock mounted onto alloy motor blocks, up until the early 2000s when racers started to utilise Mardave Hot Rod parts to build saloons instead.
Through the mid to late nineties the Saloon class allowed the use of rebuildable modified motors, with this being changed recently to bring the speeds down a little through the use of sealed can motors.
more recently with 4 cell classes the saloon category was split into two separate classes we at march raceway opted to run the more popular 4 cell brushed saloon class known as the 1300 stock cars, a low budget formula using standard kits from both Mardave and Kamtec with an emphasis on fun close racing.
Historic saloons
Historic saloons are based off of the 1300 saloons apart from the gearing being fixed to 13/50 and the shells must be pre 70s.
