Flashback to the 2022 Australian Championships. Having already taken top spot in 13.5 with wins in A1 and A2, Alex sits out what ends up being one of the best races of the weekend. Cristian, Mark, Nathan, Terry and Chris battle it out for the minor placings!

Indoor Carpet Racing

We race at St Monica's school hall on selected Friday nights. Setup is from 6pm with racing from 6:30. See the club calendar for upcoming race dates.

At indoor we run 21.5 ISTC Touring Cars, Tamiya TT-02s, Formula 1, GT12 and LMP 13.5 1/12 scale cars. For information on indoor racing see our Indoor Information page.

If you have a 1/10 or 1/12 scale electric on road racing car, bring it along and we will find somewhere for you to run it.

Asphalt Racing at Kambah

We race at Kambah the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Starting times are published for each event. See the club calendar for details of upcoming race meets.

We normally run a mixture of AWD Touring Car (ISTC) classes as well as RWD Pan Car classes, Formula 1 and Tamiya TT.

If you have a 1/10 or 1/12 scale electric on road racing car, bring it along and we will find somewhere for you to run it.

Classes

Remote Controlled Car Racing, just like real car racing, is divided in to classes. These classes are differentiated by a number of factors, such as drive type (AWD, FWD or RWD), motor type or driver skills.

Some of our classes are governed by the RCRA, others are 'home grown'. One of the practical differences between classes comes down to budget. Some of our classes are designed to appeal to the social racer with limited time and budget, while other classes are much more performance oriented.

See Information about classes for more details

About the Club

We are a group of enthusiasts that love to race electric radio controlled on-road cars.

We race at two tracks in Canberra, an indoor track at St Monica's school hall and our asphalt track located off Kett St in Kambah.

Everybody is welcome to come along and have a go. You can bring your own car, or hire one of our club cars. We place drivers into groups to ensure you are racing against people with similar abilities and equipment.

CTMCRC is affiliated with the Remote Controlled Racing Australia, the governing body of RC racing in Australia.
