1:12th scale GT12
GT12 racing, like touring cars, offers wheel to wheel racing at its best, just at a smaller scale and potentially less budget. This is a very popular class at RVRCCC and other local clubs, therefore there is often a used bargain to be found and plenty of set-up advice to hand. Modifications are allowed so it is up to the racer to decide what they spend their money on to improve lap times, the latest carbon parts, alloy bling or practice time. Rules have been introduced in line with other local clubs and regional and national events.
