Welcome!
Located a couple of miles North-East of Swindon, SRCORC is a purpose built Off-Road astroturf race track facility for radio controlled model cars. You can find us on Google Maps here.
What models do we race?
At Championship events we race 1/10th scale electric 2WD buggies, 4WD buggies and 2WD trucks. We have also recently introduced a race class class for the FTX Vantage, a highly affordable “Ready to Run” 4WD buggy – for more details click here. Currently, the most popular race class is 2WD buggy.
What’s required to drive on the track?
Anyone of any age or ability can safely take part in this sport provided they have the right equipment. In order to race or practice at our track you will need:
- A 1/10th scale radio controlled off-road buggy or truck powered by a 540 size motor
- Two cell (2S) hard case LiPo battery pack, charger and safety charging sack (NiMH batteries are also allowed)
- A transponder which can be detected by the lap counting system
- A portable table for your pitting area
While they are the most competitive, models do not have to be proper racing kit versions used by serious racers. Lower cost “Ready to Run” RC models are allowed on the track provided they are no larger than 1/10 scale and use suitable batteries and motors. In the right hands, some of these can even be quite competitive if tuned appropriately and fitted with racing tyres.
If you’ve never raced before and would like to give it a try, the club has a brushless FTX Vantage 4WD buggy that can be hired for £20 per day (inclusive of race entry fees). Full details are available here.
When is the track open for racing and practice?
Championship race events are ran every other Sunday throughout the year, the dates for which can be found in Event Calendar. Some of these will be subject to change and we suggest you join our Facebook Group to receive live updates of all future race events, practice sessions and other activities.
