I recently re-posted the video of the very first Euro's for 1:8 in Modena Italy, back in 1974. I also posted images from that video of Ronnie Ton's independent suspension car as a tribute to his contribution to model car racing, not only for his unique and innovative independent suspension chassis, but also for his eye for detail. Model car racing was not only about speed in those days but also about appearance. Aerodynamics played hardly a role in these early years of r/c racing.

When chassis, tires and engines got better aerodynamics became more and more important and eventually completely took over appearance and scale looks. Modern 1:8 scale cars have zero resemblance with anything that is being raced today in real life.

Our 3D developer has created a modern LMP body, these are the sportscars being raced today, and have scaled them to fit a current 1:8 chassis, the Serpent 190 chassis and true scale.

We would like to start a discussion about this subject and find out what you think of an 'almost'... read more

A new set of wheel colors has been added for GT3. The new color range is more 'anodized' looking and therefore matches much better with almost any body paint scheme and color.

These new colors have been applied to GT3 front and rear wheels 1. The original color set is still available as GT3 front/rear wheel 3. The GT3 wheel can be selected in the Car Set-up menu and the wheel color can be selected in the top selection bar in the Car Set-up menu. Both the body color and the wheel color can be changed on the track in the Heads-Up-Display while in the pitlane. Body style and wheel style can only be changed in the Car Set-up menu.

Don't forget to save the new wheel color and body paint scheme as a new set-up!

It was suggested to split the (expired) Weekly events for 1:8 nitro NASCAR trucks at the Oval Course at the VRC Speedway complex into 3 different oval racing classes, 1:8 nitro NASCAR trucks, 1:10 nitro NASCAR trucks and 1:10 electric NASCAR trucks, for free Spec versions, and run these events in a 3-week cycle. These evens have now been created and will start August 1st. The event structure itself is unchanged, just 1 round of qualifying, for 7 days, and 50 runs. This is the nice thing about these weekly's, you can race anytime during the week!

COMBINED RANKING
These 3 classes use a combined ranking: WEEKLY NASCAR SPEEDWAY RACING
Your best 18 results out of your last 24 races count for this ranking. The old weekly ranking for 1:8 nitro NASCAR trucks has been discontinued.
