We have released 5 new C7 GT3 bodies with paintjobs created by VRC members. We thank Joshua Berman, Joel Lee and Giovanni di Bernardino for their efforts to create these exciting new paintjobs. In total 40 variations in paintjob design and color schemes have been added to the exciting GT3 nitro on-road class.

We have released a brand new body for the GT3 class: C7.

This is our 2nd body for this exciting class to offer some more choice in bodies. The body comes in 8 different color schemes. The aerodynamic properties of this body are identical to the 911 body, so the performance is not affected by your choise of body. We look forward to see a colorful field of 911's and C7's in the upcoming 2018 VRC Worlds.

PAINTJOB DESIGN COMPETITION
As an experiment we will let you create your own paintjobs. No, we don't have a paintjob creator feature now, unfortunately our game structure, dating back to 2005, was never intended for members to create their own designs. We will make available the template and the 3D model which are created by our 3D graphics artis Tony West to let you create your own design, and view it in a 3D viewer. We will set up some sort of competition where you can enter your designs and we will then implement the design ourselves and release it, There is no other way of doing this, unfortun... read more

The 2018 VRC WORDS are integrated in the Season 1 Series events. These events are awarded with extra points for the Series, Spec Worlds will get Level 3 points, and Modified class Worlds are Level 5 events! So besides the World Chamionship titles there are a lot of extra points to be earned for the Season 1 Series.

This new format for the VRC Worlds will be evaluated after Season 1. The plan is to focus the VRC Worlds events for Season 2 in the last 6 weeks of the year like we have done in the past.

Already 2 VRC Worlds have been held this year, the 2018 VRC Worlds Rally-X Modified class won by multiple VRC champion Martin Wollanka from Austria, and 1:10 Nitro Sedans Spec class, won by another VRC champ Joshua Berman from the USA. Currently we are running 1:10 electric Touringscars Modified class at Kissimmee Short in Florida.

The other 2018 VRC Worlds events this season are:

Oliver Meunier dominates the final in 1:8 Nitro GT3 Spec at Lloret de Mar

Lloret de Mar was the venue for the third round of the first ever VRC PRO 1:8 Nitro GT3 Spec Series. The simple layout, combined with the limited set-up options of the 1:8 Nitro GT3 Spec chassis, provided for extremely close racing.

PRO LEVEL

The 10-minute qualifying round was extremely tight in the Pro Level. Qualifying saw 9 of the top 10 racers complete 41 laps; separated by only 8 seconds. In fact, the top three qualifiers were separated by less than half a second. Kevin Bacon (US) took the top qualifying position with 41 laps in 10:00.252, just .3 seconds ahead of fellow American Joshua Berman, who was less than .2 seconds ahead of Oliver Meunier (DE). Graham Raistrick (UK) qualified just 2 seconds off the leader’s pace; Dana Bailes (US) was 4 seconds back; Gary Crowell (US) was 5; Nuno Lourenco (PT) and Carson Yeung (HK) were 6; and Tommaso Andreuccetti (IT) was 8 seconds behind wit... read more
