The new 1:8 nitro GT3 modified class is released for the upcoming VRC Worlds starting Saturday December 22nd.

The modified version features a fully adjustable RS chassis, a more powerful RS engine and new Ultra Soft tires, this package should make for an exciting and thrilling new class for the die hard 1:8 nitro on-road racers. With this release also a number of P11 and C7 member created bodies are released, available for free!

Of course the modified class will have its own ranking but will also count for the Overall, nitro onroad and overall onroad rankings. The upcoming VRC Worlds for this class is your first chance to start working on your ranking.

The cost of the Spec chassis and engine have been reset to 0, so basically the Spec class is now a free class like all the other VRC Spec classes.

Enjoy the new ride, see you at the 2018 VRC Worlds 1:8 nitro GT3 Modified!

We are now planning the 2019 Season 1 which will start at the end of the first week of January and an important consideration is the format for the 2019 VRC Worlds. The format I chose to intergrate them in the Season 1 events was surely not a success and will of course not be repeated.

However, I still feel we need to split up the VRC Worlds in 2 blocks as we simply have too many classes to squeeze them into a 4-6 week period. I am thinking of creating 2 blocks of VRC Worlds for 2019:

VRC Worlds Spec classes: June
VRC Worlds Open classes: December

With this format we will have 5 months for the Series 1 and 2, and 1 month each for the VRC Worlds.
I think this should be an interesting format. Maybe June is a less interesting week for those who are in full competition in the outdoor season (western hemisphere...) but we will have to compromise to get both Spec and Open classes covered in the VRC Worlds. We will never be able to suit everybody's preferences.

I look forward to some constructive input... read more
