Welcome to the BRCA 1/8th Stock Cars section, where we race 1/8th scale versions of the iconic full-size Brisca F1 Stock Cars.
Our scaled-down machines are purpose-built for competitive oval racing. Each car features:
A welded steel chassis
A painted plastic bodyshell styled after full-size F1 Stock Cars
RC servos controlling steering and throttle
A 3.5cc nitro-fuelled engine producing approximately 2–3 bhp
Rear-wheel drive via a belt-driven single beam axle
These cars may be small in scale, but they deliver serious performance and action-packed racing.
The season runs from March through to October, with meetings held across the UK — and occasionally in Holland — at purpose-built oval circuits.
Tracks are typically:
30–40 metres in length
Tarmac surfaced
Surrounded by steel plate safety barriers
Contact is not only permitted — it is part of the sport. All cars are equipped with heavy-duty steel front and rear bumpers, designed to move competitors off the racing line in a bid to make progress.
Drivers are graded according to ability. Higher-graded drivers start from the rear of the grid, ensuring competitive and entertaining racing at every level.
The BRCA 1/8th Stock Cars are pleased to announce the 2026 National Championship calendar.
National meetings follow a slightly different format to regular club events:
Races start by driver grade
Four rounds of qualifying
Each qualifying race lasts 4 minutes
The top two qualifiers progress directly to the A Final
Remaining drivers compete in quarter and semi-finals
The 5-minute A Final decides the overall winner
Whether you are a seasoned oval racer or new to the formula, 1/8th Stock Cars offer close, competitive and highly entertaining racing throughout the season.
By Nikita Finnigan 33 drivers attended National Round 3 at RSCL on Sunday 16th August for another brilliant day of racing.
Rounds one and two were randomly drawn by current Junior World Champion Jaden Slater. The weather was overcast at the start of the meeting, with sunny spells developing throughout the day.
The opening rounds ran very smoothly, with barely any contact across the heats until Heat 5, where the first 15 laps proved a little more eventful. Car 685 lost its silencer, 63 pulled off and 191 was a non-starter.
Following a short lunch break, the heats were randomly shuffled by the day’s sponsor, Paul Jeffrey, before racing continued with rounds three and four. There were no major incidents to report, with drivers clearly focused on putting in the laps needed to secure a place in one of the two semi-finals.
One driver who particularly stood out was 189, recording 47 laps in each of his four races and taking two heat wins.
Once the heats were complete, the top two drivers of the day, Ben Harding and Kane Farren, progressed directly to the final.
Semi-final one saw Jaden Slater and Martin Watts secure their places in the final, while Ricky Slater and Ryan Cattell progressed from semi-final two to complete the six-driver line-up.
The final produced a fantastic battle between Kane and Ben, with the lead changing hands throughout the race. With just 30 seconds remaining, Kane managed to edge ahead and take the win, with Ben finishing a very close second.
Overall, it was a brilliant day of racing.
A huge thank you to Liz for providing food and water throughout the day, Karen for running race control and Paul Jeffrey for sponsoring the meeting and providing prizes for the best White, Yellow and Blue Top drivers of the day, as well as the driver finishing 15th and the final-position finisher.
Congratulations to all of the drivers and everyone involved in another successful National round at RSCL.
