After a successful launch of VRC Pro on September first nearly 2000 racers have already signed up and are racing each other in racing events and multi-player sessions. VRI organized 2 event series, Mylaps events for Spec class cars, and Kyosho events for open class. A total of 630 racers took part in these first races. The events have finished this week, here are our brief reports:
MYLAPS ELECTRIC SPEC RACING #1 AT VRC CARPET 2
Czech Zdenek Hamak has taken the very first victory at a VRC Pro racing event, the Mylaps Electric Spec race. 225 Racers from all over the world participated in this event. Luke Duthie from New Zealand finished 2nd a mere 3 seconds behind, and Chris Panton from the USA another 0.2 seconds down made up this truly international podium. Only Hamak broke the 27 lap barrier, the next 49 were all in the 26 laps, very close racing considering Carpet 2 is just an 11-12 second lap for the spec cars.

Ukraine on top of this first ever race at the RC Speedway Long Course. Alexey Babchenko didn’t look back until the finish line to see that he had a 2 lap lead over second placed Antonello Parisi from Italy, and another lap on Czech Zdenek Hamak . A massive win for the Alexey who was simply unstoppable in this race. The lap time comparison sheet looks like one half of a Christmas tree, that consistent. With 4 racers in the top-10 Italy of course dominated the nations challenge.

‘If you can dream it you can do it’ (Walt Disney)
These words have been an important inspiration during my time in Serpent, and now in VRC. Some of the dreams in Serpent did come true, building a great and winning multiple world championship brand. When I started out on this adventure, over 12 years ago, I had new dreams, but this was totally new territory for me and unsure how far we would get. What we have achieved today with our team of 9 dedicated, brilliant and hardworking people is remarkable and amazing. A BIG thanks to all of you! VRC Pro has surpassed my wildest dreams.
It has been a long journey, it has taken us almost 6 years to get to this point, and boy was the world waiting for it… But now VRC Pro is here and is here to stay. This is the start of something we believe will be very big: r/c sim racing. Imagine being able to race anyone, anytime, anywhere? Isn’t that the r/c racer’s dream come true? A few of you are lucky enough to live near a track and have wonderful weather all year... read more
