Welcome to the 1/12 Electric Circuit Section of the BRCA.
1/12 scale is one of the oldest RC racing classes still in existence and can trace it's roots way back to the 1970's. Traditionally it was a training and development ground for drivers who later went on to become champions in this and other classes. More recently the class has become more specialised, due in no small part to the development of a wide range of other RC categories over the years.
That said, 1/12 is still a class that caters for competitors of all ages and abilities. The recent introduction of the GT12 class has resulted in an explosion in popularity of 1/12 scale racing at club level, and our national championships continue to be well attended.
Whether you're just a casual club racer or a pro driver, the 1/12 section has something to offer you and we invite you to come and share experiences with us.
By Chase Mackman The weekend of the 15th saw the LMP Circus arrive in Tamworth. 60 of the countries best 12th drivers competing for the overall win come Sunday afternoon. However only one man would be victorious.
That man would be Louis Parker:
. Overall TQ
. Lead every lap in the final
. Won every leg of the A-Main
. Fastest lap of the weekend
A truly dominant weekend for Schumachers very own. Louis drove flawlessly and was pretty much untouched the whole weekend. A couple of scares from his team Sam coult ( who took P2 overall) and Awesomatix driver Michael Bolt (who finished P3) was the only possible threat for Louis. A great weekend for him and the Schumacher team with 3 Schumacher Eclipse 6 chassis in the top 10.
A strong showing for Awesomatix with 5 A12X chassis in the Top 10 including two in the top 5. The last place on the podium was decided by count back between teammates Mark Stiles and Micheal Bolt with Michael taking it thanks to his P2 in the third leg . The Holbeach Trio of Adam Mackman,Chase Mackman and Aaron Morley took places 6th , 7th and 8th . Chase also picked up the top junior prize . Alexander Robertson took top spot on the B-main.
Matthew Varah made another strong showing with a P5 finish with his Destiny while Morgan Williams made it 4 different car brands in the top 10.
Thanks to the Tamworth club who put on a show. Thanks to everyone who made the event possible and of course thanks to everyone who attended!
With only 3 weeks till the last 2 rounds of the national and the championship still not decided. Who will take home the crown ?
Welcome to the GT Circuit Section of the BRCA.
The GT Circuit section was created in 2014 and we are a sub-section of the 1/12th Electric Circuit Section (hence the banner above) and combines three different classes: GT12, World GT10 and Formula 1.
This variety should ensure there is a class to suit most drivers. From the wonderful simplicity of a GT12 that both welcomes a beginner and rewards the skill of a more experienced racer, the greater speed and complexity of a World GT10 and the beautiful scale looks of a Formula 1.
The BRCA GT Circuit Section, together with the host clubs, run a professional, friendly and well organised competition that welcomes drivers of all abilities. Our national indoor series runs from January to April, so whatever the weather you can continue to enjoy racing in the warm and dry. Most of our venues provide hot and cold food and drinks. All events provide pit tables and chairs for our competitors as well as mains electricity.
Our aim is to organise the best national championship in the world while giving good value for money. We hope you will come and race with us. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if we can be of any assistance.
Good luck with your racing during the forthcoming season.
