UF1 RC 
We will be using the Bonus Points system in the Formula 1 class again this year. This system will credit each driver that has certain scale items on their car an additional 3 points PER RACE DAY!
Here’s how it works – prior to qualifying, each F1 driver will bring their car over to tech and show it to either Tony Phalen or Ken Gerberding. We’ll check your car and mark you down as earning the Bonus Points for that day. This is only required prior to qualifying and must be run in the qualifying round.
So what makes your car eligible?
You must have these 3 items on your car:
1. Realistic F1 Livery
This is an easy one – it can be a current F1 scheme, vintage F1 scheme or something you made up – as long as it looks like something someone would actually run as an F1 team livery. So, yeah, no flames, drips, scallops or Pokemon.
2. Tire Decals
Everyone loves tire decals – they add that little extra something to the look of your F1 car. There are quite a few different versions out there – any of them will do and must be on all 4 tires.
3. Permanent Car Number
If you’re in the F1 class, you’ve been assigned a permanent F1 number. If you forgot what it was, you can find it here – Permanent Car Number. It’s your number that no one else in the F1 class can run, so be proud and add it to your ride!
Now, to gain the additional 3 points, you can add one of the following:
1. Halo
This item is a 3D-printed part that can be found online. It can be sanded and painted to match your F1 livery. It will also protect your 1:10 scale driver in the event of a crash. Check out Nicola670Paint for more info (contact him directly through FB for ordering and pricing).
2. Brake Light
Every F1 car has a rear wing that will accept a rear brake light – one end of the LED plugs into your receiver, the other into a hole in the rear wing. Most blink, some are solid. It doesn’t really matter which you have as long as there is light coming from it. Again, you can find these online for a couple bucks.
These parts are not mandatory, nor is the additional 3 points, but over the course of an entire season, those 21 points could be the deciding factor of your overall finishing position!
