Open rules & safety

Five steps

From first look to first race

RC racing combines driving, engineering and a shared race-day routine. Start here.

  1. 01

    See it

    Watch a meeting. Arrange a visit. Ask questions before committing to a car or membership.

  2. 02

    Try it

    Tell us your experience, age and access needs. We will suggest a safe, realistic first step.

  3. 03

    Choose a class

    Classes group cars by performance and specification. Ask before buying.

  4. 04

    Get race-ready

    Confirm BRCA cover, membership, equipment, batteries, transponder and timetable.

  5. 05

    Join the day

    Practice. Qualify. Race. Marshal. Asking for help is part of the sport.

Your starting point

Car or no car?

Speak to us first. It is quicker—and usually cheaper—than buying twice.

01

I have a car

Tell us the scale, chassis, motor and battery. We can check the class and what is needed to race safely.

Ask the club
02

I need a car

Visit before buying. See the circuit. Understand the classes. Choose around how you want to race.
