Rules of World Championships 08:Mistake points:You can get mistake points by "few" different things what you do in the course. Mistake points will be reduced of the points that you get in the course. There is no way, that mistake points will go under zero, so the competition goes course to course. Mistake points will not go to next course or previous course.
Touching the marker -20mp (mistake points)
# Touching marker by some part of the car. Car can go over the marker by everyway, except by not touching at all. If car won't touch the marker and go between markers there is no mistake points to given. But if you go past the gate, then the performance will be over in that course.
Touching the marker in 300 point gates/after the gates -10mp# At 300p and after those gates, by touching the marker you will not get so hard punishment. Only half of points, what you lose example in the middle gates.
Reversing - end of performance# Reversing is forbidden at courses. By reversing (intentional or unintentional), you cannot continue on the course. You get the point what you got until reversing point.
Flowing by car - end of the performance# If car flows over clearly, the performance will not continue any longer.
Missing your own turn - -50% points from the coming course# Car has three minutes time to be completely ready at starting gates. If car will not be there, it will be moved to last car to perform the course. And it will get only half of reched points of that course.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Demands for cars:Rc Formula Offroad doesn't demand much for competiton cars, but there is few little things to remember with cars. With placing few demands, we can separate cars to diffrent classes. In the future rules are going to grow, thats for sure. But in the beginning, the main point is fun time and brilliant performances.
The car must fit in some of these scale classes:1:5, 1:6, 1:8, 1:10
Right tires:Car must have right kind of tires. Tires doesn't have to be paddle tires, but we suggest you to buy those, because paddles will take car much better than all others. But as I said those are not compulsoried. (Look at down to see what are those right kind of tires)
Wheels:The size of wheels is free. Example in Modified class, there could use bigger wheels, if you can get right tires over them.
The body:Body of ATV:
Not permittedIn competiton car must have body. The more realistic it looks, that better!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Classes:In season 2008 in RC Formula Offroad, there is possibility to drive in three diifrent classes. One driver can drive in each class with diffrent car. Meaning: if you have car to every class, it's possible to drive in each class. Max Two drivers can also drive by same car.

Metering the tire size:When you mensure the tires, mensure them from paddle to paddle or from pate to pate.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Speed stage:In two races of four there is five normal stages and one speed stage. In speed stage you can really push pedal to the metal. Purpose of speed stage is of course drive the course as fast as you can.
Points in speed stage:
1./fastest 350p
2.etc... 350p - loss seconds - mistake points
1 second = -10mp
10 seconds = -100mp
Example 350p - 3 seconds - 1 x marker = 350p - 30mp - 20mp = 300p
# If car can manage to finish in anyway, without mistake points it will get 150p automaticly.
