Welcome...
Welcome to the Colchester Model Car Club website. We are a radio controlled model car racing club based in Easthorpe,
just outside Colchester in Essex. We race 1:10 scale I.C. (Nitro) & electric on-road cars every Sunday all year round.
We also offer practice nights for most on-road & off-road models during the summer months. All racers need to be insured through the BRCA (contact the club for details)

A message from Tom Evans
Two and a half Saturday mornings work and we know have an Off road track, it still requires a bit of refining but we filled a lot of holes, rolled the whole area to compact the soft ground, built a cross over jump and the start of a whoop section
The plan for next year is to AstroTurf the track, but that requires a lot of work so to begin with it will be run on grass/dirt until the layout and jumps are proven.
Currently there is no rostrum but standing on the bank gives a good view while the track is in the early stages but if any one can locate some quick stage scaffolding it would be great.
The next stage is to get on and use the track and gather some feedback on all aspects with the view to hold some heats alongside the Numb thumbs in the new year.
See you all track side
Tom
Come and Race with us.
Do you own a remote control/radio control car? Not sure if you can race it?
