ENTRY FEES

The entry fees for the Australian Carpet Series are calculated by the demands of organizing big indoor international races. Every racer needs to pay his or her entry fee in advance via PayPal or bank transfer. 

TYRE PRICING

Race tyres are available through online race registration and will also be purchasable from Campbelltown Hobbies’ trackside store at the event.  For planning purposes, we would prefer pre-order and payment with your race entry.

Tyre pricing is set at AUD 29.95 for buggy front or rear, and AUD 39.95 for truck front or rear.

2WD Front tyres are controlled, and will require narrow (carpet style) front rims to be installed on.  All tyres come complete with required foams.

A maximum of 3 complete sets are allowed per race vehicle for the controlled portion of the event (seeding, qualifying and mains).  An unlimited number of tyres is allowed during the various practice sessions.

FRONT TYRE RULES

You can apply some CA-glue to the outside of the tyre to change the handling of the car if deemed necessary.  2WD Buggy front tyre inserts are optional and can be used as a tuning aid.  All other classes are to have the inserts fitted.

While they are not specifically mandated, it is highly recommended, and would be greatly appreciated to have both chassis and tower protectors on all cars.
