Due to unforeseen issues with the high grip crawler tires being used on the 1:10 Basher truck, the Basher and Crawler classes have been redefined to force only Basher and Crawler components to be used for these respective classes. A quite complex and involving work-around solution was found over this weekend to achieve this. As the car class structure had to be changed for this purpose, the current 2024 VRC Worlds event for the 1:10 Basher at the Bash Pit Long track has been abandoned and is replaced with a new 2024 VRC Worlds event for this the 1:10 Basher class.
This new event will start Monday Dec. 2nd at 12:00 and has been shortened to 3 days qualifying, 2 days semi finals and 2 days for the Main Final, and will finished as scheduled.
We apologize for for this inconvenience but we had no other option than to fix this problem immediately.
Enjoy this 2024 VRC Worlds event nevertheless.

Note:
Due to unforeseen issues we had to release this track, previous called Lostallo 5, now as Lostallo 3. Initially 2 more Lostallo infield layouts were planned but these have been cancelled.
We have released Lostallo 3 track, host of the upcoming 2024 VRC Worlds 1:8 nitro sportscars starting December 11th. The 271m long track uses a combination of the existing Lostallo infield shortcuts to create a new, challenging and technical road course. The default race direction is counter-clockwise!
An interesting on-road track addition to the vast collection of VRC tracks based on existing venues! To iron out possible small flaws and to let you get to know this demanding track we have organized a Pre-Worlds Warm-up event.
Enjoy the new track!

Jimmy Flack is Mr. 'king of ovals' and has proved it once more at the OSAKA Oval with the 1:10 nitro NASCAR truck. With an average laptime of 06.928 he dominated this Worlds from start to finish. Watch the video how hooked his car is, making it look easy. Set-up makes a difference, add to this his oval skills and you have a winner! Graham Raistrick from the UK finished in 2nd place 2 laps down on Jimmy, and Milan Peka from Czech Republic 3rd, just 6 seconds shy of Graham.

It seems Jimmy Flack is only getting better in his specialism: oval racing. Another convincing win with the 1:8 Rally-X at the VRC Dirt Oval, a lap clear of runner up Stefan Sidler from Switzerland, and Tobias Lindgren from Sweden who finished 3rd just 0.4 sec. behind Sidler. Jimmy flag is able to run within 0.1 or 0.2 seconds lap after lap, at lap record speed.
