***King of Clubs Gets Set Up For Season 4***

2023 will see the fourth season of the action-packed 1:10 scale electric on-road racing series. The coming year begins with a warm-up race at the West London Racing Centre before heading south for the first point-scoring races at Eastbourne Electric Car Club. The series will then move around the southeast for races at West London, Aldershot, and Adur, with Colchester Model Car club hosting the championship finale this season.

Looking back on the 2022 season - so many good memories!

Eastbourne Electric Car Club came from behind and won their third successive championship, Billy and Marcus dominating the touring car, the new KOC GT format and Touring Car Talent Cup being so successful, Andy winning with one of the hardest cars to set up, and Archie graduating from Junior-E to win again. Another brilliant cohort of juniors coming in, with Chloe, Ellie, Poppy, Hannah and others flying the flag for Girls on Track, James and Xavi duking it out for the series win while Paul held on to take the F1 title again despite the quickening pace of son Jonathan.

Bring on 2023!!

It’s the holiday season for a reason.

While Christmas is the headliner in many Western countries, there are countless winter celebrations Worldwide. Some of the most well-known and oft-celebrated are religious in origin or from Mother Nature herself, acknowledging the darkest day of the year and the inevitable return of the sun; many others honour cultural traditions.

No matter how you celebrate this holiday season, togetherness is one thing these traditions all have in common. And while each celebration might look a bit different, there’s no better time for us to honour all we share and those we love. Together.

Happy Holidays.

On any given day across the UK, there are thousands of people out racing radio control cars. Ask any RC racer what it feels like, and some will describe the acceleration and speed. The sensation of remotely controlling a 70 mph RC car on the edge of adhesion in a race against friends and rivals. Some will talk about the technology and the challenge of race engineering a car to find the last fraction of a second.

But, whether they dream of being Lewis Hamilton or have been racing RC for thirty years or more, they are all in the grip of a common addiction. This world is simultaneously the most accessible, high-tech, and global form of motorsport. And yet, while so many people are yearning for a connection to something real, away from the virtual world, it is a best-kept secret.

This highly anticipated new documentary directed and produced by Greg Cruttwell (The Football Monologues, Chunky Monkey), King Of Clubs follows a group of racers as they compete over the summer months in 2021 across different tracks in the South of England, all aiming to be crowned champion.

Filmed and edited by Peter J Hayes who introduced the director/producer Greg Cruttwell to the secret world of remote-control car racing and the fanaticism surrounding it, Greg discovered that it is a highly technical sport and as complicated as Formula 1. As such, a number of those involved in the sport end up in the pits on F1 teams.

Thanks everyone for the messages enquiring about plans for 2023 - the calendar most specifically. Following the BRCA section conference there’s been some significant changes and a step forward for collaboration between clubs, series and the association- great news! It does mean the shape of the calendar for KOC23 will take a while as everyone works together. We love that ❤️

Watch this space 👌

Interesting tyre feedback

14/11/2022

"This documentary film comes out hot on the heels of Sir Lewis Hamilton reminiscing on Sky Sports about RC racing as a child and the doors to the world of racing and engineering being opened up for him. At a time when our country desperately needs a diverse new generation of children and young people to become scientists, engineers and technologists, this documentary offers a much-needed insight into the emotion and the journey of some of the world's best RC racers."
