Dear modelist friend                        

I wish you a happy new year ...
Hoping that the storm of December 26 didn't cause you too many damages. Hey, the n°2 is there and if you read it that is the proof your post-man is not Y2K bugged. I recall you the goal of 1/4 INFOS: to be a link between QS modelists, present and future, and to centralize and to make circulate the infos concerning our hobby.

French rules modifications for 2000
- F1 class: EFRA tires rules are now accepted, dimensions are:
     FRONT : Ø mini 143mm, width min: 57mm
     REAR: Ø mini: 148mm, width min: 90mm
     Old French size (SLD ø170) are always accepted.
- F Group class: the pilots who finish 2 years in succession in the 5 firsts cannot participate again.
- GT-SALOON class: bodyshells older than 5 years are accepted.
- Foam tires: no more minimum diameter (concern GT & F Group)

Group F class
The year 99 saw the creation of the " Group F ". This category is reserved to the non-experts drivers and is accessible with all QS cars and bodyshell. For first one year, and despite of the lack of information 15 pilots participated there, it is an excellent beginning. It is really the ideal category to begin competition in a national championship with a small budget. There is a gentlemen-agreement that makes non-expert drivers but of good level forbidden themselves to drive here.
Ladies & gentlemen, take the Porsches 911, Alfa, 905 Spider of the cupboard and join them!!! Adrien Comtat, the Gr F '99 champ, did confirm his rise in GT class, who will follow him in the 2000 ranking?

Come try
Yes, come to try the CF. It is not absolutely inaccessible: the "good old boys" are mines of advices, absolutely not avaricious to give a help: it is necessary to remove them the battery to stop them! Good driving and a good preparation often prime on the material, as a prove rostrums of S. Robinet at Marmousets (with a Porsche 911) , of Y. Charroy at Mâcon (2 out of the box chassis), of F. Rabajotil at Moulins (with his self-made chassis) and the superbs victory of L. Pradeau at Mâcon and JP. Grellier (another "stock" out of the box car) at the Coupe at St Savinien. You also will have the opportunity to coast our Switzerland friends there, already present in 99. Exchange of culture, good mood and accent are guaranteed. With a nice initiative of our Swiss friend, Mr Aubort, that made us a video of every race.
In the same way, I wish to thank the clubs that organize us CF events in 2000.

To noter
Who said that there is no more of QS car manufacturer? If you want to buy a complete car contact Mr Rabajotil, and for the maintenance parts Yankee genuine or compatible see the table below. These modelists, through their societies, manufacture these parts by passion, contact them! Rumor said another car could born during 2000 year..
