Essex Winter Series – Announcement

The organisers of the Essex Winter Series are pleased to announce the series will return for a second season in 2012/13. The EWS quickly grew throughout its inaugural championship in 2011/12 to become one of the premier indoor series in the UK. Featuring one of the largest carpet circuits in the world with 35×22 metres, and a fully heated, spacious pitting area, the series attracted drivers from all across the UK. The 2012/13 season promises to be even better than before as we already have confirmations that a number of top UK National racers will be attending multiple rounds of the season, in an attempt to take the title from defending champion, Paul Pinkney. There are very few rule changes for the second season of the championship, reflecting the success of the series and support of the drivers. The season takes place over six 1-day rounds, starting in October 2012 and running through to March 2013. Classes are for 1/10th Electric Touring cars, with 13.5 and 21.5 turn motors, speeds ideally suited to the carpet circuit. Entries will open very soon at www.centralbooking.org, where full rules, all dates and further information can be found. For more details, please contact Oli Meggitt here.

British Indoor Winter Series – Announcement

Back by popular demand is the World Famous BIWS series that was such a major part of the UK Touring Car racing scene in the 2000’s. Top drivers who have graduated from this series include Andy Moore, Elliott Harper, Olly Jefferies, Ben Cosgrove, Jimmy Maddison and Jonny Bowden to name just a few. The BIWS series has always been the fastest indoor winter series in the UK always allowing the latest technology to flourish with a laid back set of rules designed to encourage fun and close competitive racing. We race on a blue rubber floor which offers very similar grip levels to tarmac. BIWS were amongst the first to adopt LiPo batteries and brushless motors into a major competitive series, not to mention the fact that it is an absolute equal series for everyone as no additives are allowed at all. Moore-Speed tyres have been chosen as the control tyre with 1 set per driver per meeting regulation. This year sees the return of the Modified Touring Car Class which should simply be breath taking to watch the some of the UK if not the Worlds best drivers competing for the glory of being the BIWS Champion. The series starts October 21st 2012 and ends on the 10th of February 2013. Full information including entry details and rules can be found here.
