Competition Rules for the E-Speed

Competition Rules for the E-Speed Class
Starting from February 2, 2025, a new competitive class called E-Speed will be introduced within Section E (Endurance).

1. Purpose of the Class: The goal of the class is to achieve the fastest correct lap on the regulated oval track within Section M.
2. Allowed Models: The following electrically powered models are permitted: Mini Mono, Mono 1, Mono 2, Mini Hydro, Hydro 1, Hydro 2, which must comply with the construction rules established for their respective classes within Section M. Additionally, Mono and Hydro models with internal combustion engines with a displacement between 2.11–3.5 cm³ are also allowed.
   Races will take place on the certified oval track for Section M.

Race Format:

1. Each competitor will run individually and will have 3 minutes to complete laps on the track. The fastest correct lap will be counted.
2. Timing will be done using the AMB system.
3. The start will be the same as in classic oval races of Section M, meaning the start is at the top-right buoy, and the 3 minutes begin when the model passes under the AMB antenna. After the start the competitor have 15 sec. to pass under the AMB antenna.
4. For a result to be homologated, a complete lap without missed buoys will be counted. Turning back to recover a missed buoy is prohibited. Additionally, the model must return to the dock under its own propulsion. Stopping the model during the 3 minutes is prohibited, except if the competitor decides that the achieved result is satisfactory and chooses to return to the dock under its own propulsion.

Construction Rules:

1. Allowed Models: All models that comply with the construction specifications of the Mini Mono, Mono 1, Mono 2, Mini Hydro, Hydro 1, Hydro 2 classes within Section M are permitted to participate.
2. Number of Cells Allowed:
   • 3 cells for Mono 1 and Hydro 1.
   • 6 cells for Mono 2 and Hydro 2.
     For Mini classes, it is recommended to use a maximum of 4 cells, with a voltage not exceeding 4.23 V per cell.
3. The weight of the batteries is unrestricted.
4. At the end of the race, the minimum voltage will be checked, which must not be less than 3.3 V per cell.
5. The use of a limiter is optional.
6. Models with internal combustion engines must use fuel with a maximum of 12% nitro, in accordance with Naviga regulations. Additionally, for models with internal combustion engines, 1 minute of engine warm-up is allowed before the 3-minute race (trial) beg
