A new addition to our rally track collection: Rally X2. With the 2 big ramps this new track offers some serious challenges to the avid r/c rally racer. The track features 4 hairpins which invite you to make perfect drifts and power slides to gain time on the competition. To get them right you need to practice, practice, practice... Round 4 of the 2017 Season Series for Rally X is starting May 18th...
The new Rally X2 track is immediately available for all members with an all-inclusive license. Free2Play members can obtain the new track with vEuros which can be purchased in the the VRC e-shop.
