Car Modifications and Setup
Car Selection
Drivers must choose one car to enter for each class. Once chosen and declared via YouTube Live stream, That car must be used for every round matching that class.
Changing cars, chassis, tires or making modifications of any kind during the championship is prohibited and will result in disqualification.
Upgrading Tires and Guides
Upgrading to 3rd party silicone, rubber or urethane tires is ALLOWED. Drivers are also welcome to upgrade to Frankenslot or Slot-invasion Guides.
Drivers are permitted to true their tires and remove any dust or debris before racing. However, applying any substances or tire treatments is strictly prohibited to ensure fair and consistent competition.
Upgraded Motors & Gearing
Upgrading the stock motor is not allowed to ensure fair and balanced competition. All racers use the same performance baseline, keeping the focus on driver skill rather than modified equipment.
Altering the Chassis
Altering the chassis or body—such as grinding or sanding—is not permitted to maintain a level playing field. Modifications can affect weight, handling, and aerodynamics, giving an unfair advantage.

Track power for all Global Racing League events must be supplied at 14.8V, as provided by the standard Carrera power supply. Variable power supplies are allowed; however, the voltage setting must be clearly visible during the race.

Track Preperation
Track preparation for Global Racing League events allows for standard dust removal to ensure clean racing conditions. However, no additives, treatments, or substances may be applied to the track surface, as they can affect grip and alter performance.
