What do we do?
Essentially we race radio controlled 1/10th. scale Off-Road racing cars. All cars are electric powered.
The racing caters for people from all backgrounds and does not discriminate on sex, age, or disability.
It does provide; a challenging sporting environment where the skill required to drive and build the cars can be tested against other like-minded competitors.
Where do we do it?
The short answer is everywhere.
It’s quite likely that there is a club somewhere near where you live. Included in this website are details of the representatives of your Region, along with their contact details and even a map with many clubs that could be just round the corner from your home.
Another method of finding your local club is by contacting your local model shops, five minutes spent on the phone or internet, can open up a whole new dimension and fun in model motor sport.
Who are we?
We are a group of RC racing enthusiasts whose aims are best summed up by objective No. 1 — ‘To promote the construction and racing of radio controlled cars’. Please remember we are all non-paid volunteers doing what we can for model car racing.

G.O.A.T & MASTER TAKE COMMAND
Cragg & Martin rise to the top as championships heat up!
Round 5 of the 2024 BRCA 1/10th Offroad Nationals was an intense roller coaster ride where the track bit when least expected. Over the weekend of July 27/28 the series progressed to TORCH at Swanmore College not too far from Southampton. The club really knows how to put on an event – good track, good facilities, great selection of food vendors and a great selection of ladies fashions – if you know, you know. The weather over the weekend was mostly sunny and warm apart from one heavy shower on Saturday which upset things at a crucial moment.
The Saturday morning drivers briefing was held in glorious morning sunshine and in the absence of Section Chairman Martin Owen, Tony Evdoka MC’d proceedings. The briefing was comprehensive as there are several extra restrictions with the track being based in school grounds. The track walk showed that the circuit design was a very welcome progression as UK tracks aim to become more 3D with the addition of the very large 3-way table top which could be used in several ways depending on the lane layout. Another thing that’s new at TORCH is the amount of slump in the soil under the artificial grass. The result is that the track surface has become very undulating, and the bumps would play a key role in the results that unfolded over the two days.
As 2wd practice got underway on a damp but quickly drying track, many of the bystanders were chatting about how the 2wd championship was unfolding. Neither Neil Cragg, Tommy Hall, Ben Smith nor Lee Martin can win the championship at this round, but they can deal themselves out of their chance with a poor performance.
