UK RC Oval Racing

Adur Model Car Club was established in the 1970's

​

The club is made up of three sections, and although UK RC Oval Racing concentrate on the oval section, it is worth mentioning that the club also run an 8th scale circuit track at the same site; and an off road track around 10 minutes away in Steyning.

​

The 8th scale section is run on a purpose built tarmac oval with steel crash barriers; the design based on a full size quarter mile track.  The cars are 8th scale replicas of their full size counterparts, which run in an anti-clockwise direction.

All cars are equipped with a personal transponder which counts your laps and lap times as the car passes a strip below the start line.

They are powered by a 3.5cc nitro engine which makes them very fast. The stock cars are built from a solid steel chassis, this makes them very strong as they are a contact formula.  The cars are built by the drivers, therefore, no two cars are the same. You can also buy a ready made kit from suppliers, such as MMRD based in Goring.
 
8th scale oval meetings are run every 2 weeks on a Sunday.  Spares are available on race days at track side.

For domestic meetings they fire up the BBQ, and for bigger meetings, the club hires in a catering van (sounds worth a visit to me!)

The sport of 1/8th oval racing is very enjoyable and can be very rewarding when your car is going well. It is not expensive to participate and Adur welcome new drivers so why not get yourself a car and go and join in the fun?

It is free for spectators and anyone interested in participating can buy a kit from MMRD at the meeting.
