Radio-controlled car racing could be among the best motorsport you will find in the UK
This may be the most sideways circuit racing I’ve yet seen. Some of the hardest to keep track of, too: here’s a world of motorsport in which cars can hit 60mph long before any Tesla – and with considerably less fuss and online bluster. It’s made all the wilder when you squint for a look inside the cockpit and see no one grasping the wheel. Welcome to national radio-controlled car racing, a world that is as focused as it is fun.
Priced at around £35 a pair, they resemble adorably scaled-down versions of proper racing rubber, with slicks, treads and wets available. The most focused competitors even plug in tyre warmers to prime them ahead of each race. Told you it was serious. Others simply pin their car down and smear the rubber to the floor with a liberal use of throttle, which I have to admit looks more fun.
