Touring Car weight limit change
May 18, 2011
Coming in the next update to the ROAR rules is a change in the minimum weight for the 1/10 Touring class. It's been observed by the racers on the committee that standard vehicles, without the use of any lightweight components, are much too light and have to mount considerable ballast weight in order to make the minimum weight requirement. As a result, ROAR will reduce the minimum weight from 1420g to 1380g in all classes but VTA/GT classes. These categories tend to use chassis that are inherently heavier, making the 1420g limit more reasonable for just these classes.
