Round 1 of GeMC Series 2018 – Hosted by Geneva Model Cars Club
The first round of the GeMC series took place on Saturday 5 May 2018, and attracted 45 participants. Drivers from the Geneva region as well as Suisse Romande and neighboring France joined for this first round. Even the Swiss-German side was represented by one driver, who came all the way to enjoy the day amongst R/C enthusiasts.
The particularity of the GeMC track is its banana curved ‘straight away’, but most imp…ortantly the club imposes a no additive philosophy. To ensure the grip levels stayed at a good threshold, the track was sugared in the evening of Friday and also on Saturday morning. The GeMC team chose a small but fun layout!
The lap times witnessed were in the low 10 seconds for the fast guys and very low 12 seconds for the formula 1 drivers.
Team Xray cars were the most present throughout both categories.
