1/10th Off Road in South Africa
 
RC cars is huge in South Africa too. I used to race in the republic. Could Oople perhaps stick something in the Inernational section on racing in South Africa?

Their version of the BRCA below:

Heya Nolan, I will if you think it might be used? I didn't know it was so popular in SA but a guy we met at the worlds last year said the guys at his club look at oople so hey, maybe so!

If it is in Pretoria, it might be at Zwartkops Model Raceway -
track below....
http://www.sarda.org.za/sarda%20old%...tkops/pic2.jpg

This track is next to a 'real' touring car track, and has the most space to hold a World's. Unless they have it somewhere nuteral and create a new track??

jimmy 30-04-2008 01:57 PM

ok the last worlds was in Pretoria also apparently- so possibly the same venue as last time?

niggs98 30-04-2008 02:12 PM

raywoods did a video on that one in 03 and it was inside a huge hanger with a purpose built dirt track

It was in 2001:

2WD: Matt Francis from USA
&
4WD: Jukka Steenari from Finland

Looking at going to the worlds in SA ...... the track used last time is about 35 mins drive from my girlfriend's father's stables / ranch. Would make accomodation cheap!

frogger 30-04-2008 05:08 PM

Pretoria is my home town so I might go back for the worlds too :woot:
