We have pre-released the first track of the VRC Extreme Racing Complex: XTR LT1
This track is designed by Virtual Racing Industries and features a unique crossing. This has enabled us to create multiple lay-outs, these will be released over time.
It is our intention to use the new track for the upcoming VRC Worlds for both 1:8 nitro onroad classes. Sportscars will race default direction (anti-clockwise) and GT3 will race reverse direction (clockwise).
We have not been able to fully test the new track with beta testers, this would also give an unfair advantage to these beta testers over the other racers. Therefore we have created 2 test events to evaluate the track, especially the track limits (corner cutting warnings). If any issues are found pls. report them in the RACE TALK section on the event page so we can address them immediately.

The events for the 2022 VRC Worlds modified classes have been published!
There are a few important changes to be noted:
- race duration for all nitro classes has been reduced from 60 minutes to max. 45 minutes
- race duration for all electric classes has been increased, this will force a battery change
- all 2022 VRC Worlds events, VRC Oval Worlds and VRC Dirt Oval Worlds will be using the bump-up race format
Bump-up race format
All 2022 VRC Worlds events for modified classes will use the 'bump-up' qualifying and semi-final system. The top-qualifier (TQ) will go straight to the Main Final, he will not race in the semi final. The nbrs. 2-31 after qualifying will be split up in 3 semi finals, 2-5-8-11 etc. to the first semi final, nbrs. 3-6-9-12 etc. to the 2nd semi final and 4-7-10-13 etc. to the 3rd semi final. From the 3 semi finals the numbers 1-2-3 will proceed to the Main Final.
