Greetings!
I have no idea about how many guys from the UK come on here, but for those who do I've got some good news!
In a couple of weeks we will be officially opening the "Cambs R/C Racing Centre" on a new site we've recently located near to Cambridge. The site is only temporary until we find a more suitable location where we can do some proper landscaping and make it a permanent fixture. I've had loads of problems finding a site for the track though, but as a temporary place where we can set up and get established this one is great.
For the moment the club will provide a 1/8 to large scale off-road grass track, designed to BRCA standards. We are also making a "bashing arena", which will be of the same area as the track (75m by 25m) but have no fixed layout. It will have lots of different jumps and be aimed at drivers of all standards to practice and have abit more fun out of the confines of a set course. There is also ample space for setting out temorary courses for smaller scale vehicles on the site.
I'm just about to buy 30 vehicles of various types to use on site and for an outeach project that we are starting up, with the aim of introducing new people to the sport and making it accessible to people who don't own their own equipment. The outreach side will work with the likes of local schools, youth groups and community centres, where we will set up temporary tracks, teach people how to look after and work on cars as well...
All very exciting and hopefully it'll lead to being able to set up a proper and permanent facility in the near future.
If anyone is interested in using the new track or becoming a member of the club, for more details please contact us at:- [email protected]
Cheers,
Lawrence.
