We have just released LT4, Long Track 4 of the VRC Extreme Racing Complex. This is the second track lay-out release based on the exclusive VRC designed on-road racing track. This new layout presents a new challenge to novice and experienced r/c racers and when mastered to the max, will give you that special r/c racers 'rush'.
LT4 is a variation on the standard LT1 layout and features 4 hairpins and 4 fast sweepers and 3 straights. The total length of this version is 473m! LT4 uses blue carpet areas to accentuate the flow of the track. The special carpet has a certain thickness to affect the cars when they go too wide!
LT4 will be used for the upcoming 2023 MID WEEK SPRINT SERIES 1:8 NITRO SPORTSCARS Round 7, so sign up, race and enjoy the thrill of racing and mastering this new track! Of course you can also start competing in the time trials and get your name up on the list!

VRC: Did you start racing all by yourself or was it a typical ‘father and son’ effort? And if so, was your dad involved in r/c racing before as a racer or mechanic for someone else?
Dana: I started racing by myself. I worked for my Dad but I still “borrowed” some money now and then for some new killer packs. My dad comes to more of my... read more
