1:10th scale Touring Cars
Touring cars allow for fast action wheel to wheel racing where a traditional racing line and consistency is the aim of the game. Kits don’t have to cost a fortune and some basic kits can be very competitive whereas competition kits can be very complex and sensitive to set-up and track conditions. Either way, the racing experience and reward from good handling and speed is fantastic. Build rules have been introduced in line with other local clubs where you can race these cars.
