Events are held at some of the UK's finest off-road venues, featuring a variety of track surfaces and layouts that challenge drivers and reward skill and consistency.
As the section continues to grow in popularity, an increasing number of families are joining us at events. Alongside the racing, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere has helped create a strong community where lasting friendships are formed and weekends away become something to look forward to.
Whether your goal is to compete for national titles or simply enjoy racing with like-minded enthusiasts, Truck racing can be as competitive as you want it to be. Above all else, our focus is on enjoying the hobby, supporting fellow racers, and having fun.

The BRCA 1/10 Off-road Truck Championships, Round 3, were held at Boughton Raceway in Norfolk in the middle of June, the track is large with a flowing layout and man-made jumps, the layout was the same as last year but run in the opposite direction.
As is the norm with the Truck section, practice started Saturday 12 noon, in dry sunny weather, but with a strong westerly wind. The Truck section trialed running the open practice as 1 practice heat with all drivers in it, so laps times could be viewed on the rc-timing website, and it was deemed to be a success.
Sunday, we awoke to clear blue skies, with the forecast to remain dry, but a much lighter wind than the previous day.
At Drivers Briefing we held a minutes silence for Simon Guant who had unfortunately lost his battle with Cancer the previous weekend, Simon had been a large character within the Truck National scene and will be greatly missed.
9 Heats of Timed Practice with 74 entries started at 8.25am Sunday morning, followed by four rounds of round-by-round Qualifying
As is the norm these days, Qualifying would consist of four different classes of 1/10 electric Truck. 2WD Short Course, 4WD Short Course, 2WD Stadium Truck and within that class the 2WD Vintage/Rear Motor Stadium Trucks, basically running to Iconic Revival regulations and limited to 10.5 turn brushless motors.
4WD Short Course qualification was taken by Mark Everitt, 2nd was Dan Staite and 3rd was, one of the group of drivers from Eden Park Raceway, Shareef Qureshi.
With 15 4WD’s the B Final was won by Haiden Hicks, winning legs 1 & 3, 2nd, having won leg 2 of the finals, was Phil Birchall and 3rd was Marc Biddiss.
The 4WD Short Course A Final had great wheel to wheel battles throughout all three legs, Mark Everitt would take the overall win, winning Legs 1 & 2, 2nd would be Dan Staite after winning the third leg and last place on the podium would be Ben Baxter.
2WD Short Course qualification was taken by the reigning 2WD Champion and Round 2, at Surrey and Hants, winner Jaime Long, winning all 4 rounds, 2nd overall was Round 1, at A1 Raceway, winner Mark Everitt and 3rd another former champion, James Moulds.

The 2WD Short Course A Final would have the same top 3 as qualifying, with Jamie Long winning all 3 legs ahead of Mark Everitt in 2nd and James Moulds 3rd.

2WD Stadium Trucks would have 38 entries, Round 2 winner, again at Surrey and Hants, Jamie Long, would take TQ with 2 round wins ahead of Tony Bishop and Alan Wheeldon who both would take a round win each, but it was very close with less than a second covering all 3 on their fastest run times.

Pheew what a Scorcher!!!
Round 2 of the BRCA Truck National series was held at SHRCCC in Farnborough over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend and who said it always rains on Bank Holidays? The track was refitted over the winter with new Astroturf, elevation changes, man-made jumps and, on the right-hand side of the track a massive wall-of-death section. The club had laid a tight and twisty lay-out with plenty of grip available.
Practice started, as is the norm, Saturday at 12 noon, in dry sunny weather, with the temperature rising throughout the day. Sunday, competitors woke up to clear blue skies and the forecast of temperatures into the 30’s which is normally unheard of for May in the UK.
7 Heats of timed practice with 59 entries started promptly Sunday morning followed by four rounds of round-by-round Qualifying.
As is now the norm, qualifying would consist of four different classes of 1/10 electric truck. 2WD Short Course, 4WD Short Course, 2WD Stadium Truck and within that class 2WD Vintage/Rear Motor Stadium Trucks, in only their second year of their own championship, basically running to Iconic Revival regulations and limited to 10.5 turn brushless motors.

Top junior was Haidan Hicks finishing 10th overall.
2wd Short Course qualification was taken by the current 2wd Champion, Jaime Long, taking all four rounds, 2nd was former champion Simon Guant and 3rd another former champion James Moulds.
With only 11 entries in this class at this round, there would only be an A Final, Jamie took all 3 legs for the win, local hero Simon Hall 2nd and James Moulds 3rd, Top junior was Jamie Long too. Jamie was to a VERY good day at SHRCCC!
2wd Stadium Trucks Rear Motor, with 5 entries at this round, the race organisers listed them for qualifying all in the same heat, heat 4, so they all qualified against each other. Ben Baxter would qualify 1st, from Mike Mcleod, another EPR driver, second and Mark Ashforth third, in reality Ben would of qualified 18th in the modern class with his vintage Team Losi XX-T. In the finals, the vintage/rear motor trucks were also afforded their own finals, Ben would win all 3 legs with Mike 2nd and Mark 3rd. Hopefully we will see more entries at the upcoming rounds so these vehicles can continue to compete against each other.
Modern 2wd Stadium Trucks would have 29 entries, Defending Champion, Tony Bishop would qualify 1st after winning rounds 1,3 and 4, 2nd on the grid would be Keith Halsey and 3rd , double classing, would be Jamie Long, round 1 winner Kit Jones would line up 5th after a relatively difficult qualifying, behind Joe Cockill.
