The traditional 2017 VRC Worlds are just 6 weeks away, time to start preparing for the annual grand finale. The 2017 VRC Worlds will start on November 18th and will finish on December 31st, 6 weeks of action packed r/c racing excitement. All WC events will be using the bump-up event mode with 1 Super Final for the best 10 racers. The Spec classes will be raced first and will be raced in Club, Sport and Pro racer classes.

SNEAK PREVIEW OF FUTURE PROJECTS
GT3 CLASS
We are currenly working on a 1:8 scale nitro GT3 class based on the 1:8 nitro on-road chassis. The GT3 car uses front and rear differentials and rubber tires to create a different driving experience at about 90% of the performance level of the 1:8 nitro sportscar class. This new class should be easy and fun to drive and therefore will have very limited setup options. We expect to see some very exciting racing in this new class. Release is planned for the 2017 VRC Worlds.
BUMP-UP FINALS
We are working an an alternative race format with bump-up semi finals. In short, after qualifying the top 1...4 will proceed directly to the main final, others will be split up in 2..6 semi finals from which the winners or first 2 will proceed to the main final.

News flash from Team Tekin / Neobuggy.com
------------------
This past weekend was held the 2017 Chinese National Championship at FS Off-road race track in Yongkang, China. Over 200 entries total would provide plenty of competition for everyone. A large track with a 60m x 40m race surface and high 40c+ temps would punish the drivers all weekend.
In 1/8 E-Buggy Tekin factory driver Carson Yeung would start off in the triple A main format the P2 position. A1 would be chaos in the first lap dropping him down to last. A steady push would get him back into 3rd in the end of A1. A2 a better start would allow Carson to make a pass on P1 and take the win. A3 would be a rough start again, however once again a steady push would see Carson back to finish in P2 for A3 giving him the the overall win and the 2017 Chinese National Championship.
