12th Circuit Timeline & History

1/12 scale is one of the oldest RC racing classes still in existence and can trace it's roots way back to the 1970's. Traditionally it was a training and development ground for drivers who later went on to become champions in this and other classes. More recently the class has become more specialised, due in no small part to the development of a wide range of other RC categories over the years.

That said, 1/12 is still a class that caters for competitors of all ages and abilities. The recent introduction of the GT12 class has resulted in an explosion in popularity of 1/12 scale racing at club level, and our national championships continue to be well attended.

Shown below is a timeline detailing all of the BRCA 1/12th National championship winners since it began in 1978. International and other championships won by British drivers are also shown along with notable events and landmarks associated with the class for each year.
