Turkey set to host its first ever 1:10 offroad buggy event

 

Turkey will host its first 1:10 Offroad buggy event on September 28-29, 2013. The event is called "The RatRace Weekend" and will have 1:10 2WD buggies, 1:10 4WD buggies on Saturday and 1:8 electric buggies on Sunday.

To celebrate the new 1:10 Track built in Istanbul alongside the 1:8 track at Snappy Raceway, Tom How, who moved to Istanbul 2 1/2 years ago from the UK, decided to start the track project as well as "R/C Skool" for Turkish school students.

1:10 offroad is very new to Turkey as mostly they run onroad 1:10 EP and GP, as well as 1:8 offroad EP and GP. 

The all-new dirt track is made possible by AytemizHobi for the costs of building it, supplying timing system for race days, and raffle prizes as well as Team-NCRC from Northern Cyprus for helping with organization and track funds as well as raffle prizes for the weekend.

The RatRace weekend has some very healthy sponsors from Turkey and Northern Cyprus:

• www.Team-NCRC.com (Team Xray Northern Cyprus)
• www.RCSkool.com

The first race meeting entry fee has been reduced to 30TL (Roughly £10) for all 3 classes total, not individual, this is to promote a healthy number of entrants for the first race.
