On Monday 12 February , the Clubman will return to the Eckington Civic Raceway for its forth action pack series! The additional feature to this series will be a team championship in the Clubman-E class.

There are no changes to the general rules for season 4. From the results of the suggestions post we did at the beginning of December, the two noteable requests were about fixing bodyshells for Clubman-E and a high speed track. We are going to add a body shell rule but not to all Clubman-E, just the new team championship. We will look at one high speed track as a test for this season.

Both classes will continue to run the Core-RC 27t motor and Hobbywing 1060 ESC drive train.

There will once again be 6 rounds to the series, for the individual championships racers best 4 rounds will count towards their championship. All 6 rounds will count for the team championship.
