rallyx

The BRCA was formed some years ago and the 1/8th rallycross section is an integral part of the association. You will find 1/8th rallycross cars being raced across the country nearly every weekend of the year at BRCA Affiliated clubs

Which you can find elsewhere on the BRCA Website, however since 1983 the rallycross section has run a full season of race meetings from April to September, with 4 championships now in place the National Championship, The Clubman, The Junior and the Over 40s Championships.

All 1/8th rallycross cars are powered by 3.5cc nitro fuel powered engines so you are not only racing your model car against others, but you also get the smell and the noise of full size motor racing. So if that has wetted your appetite for having a go at rallycross, come along to one of the clubs or come to a national event where you can discover more information.

The section prides itself on being friendly and available to answer any questions that you might have.

Semi B
Dom Nunn (Mugen) started on pole for this semi-final but made a few early mistakes,
dropping down the field. This opened the door for a tight battle at the front involving
William Skidmore (Xray), Neil Cragg (AE), Lewis Jones (WIRC), and Erik Lykke
(Agama).
Despite the pressure, it was Will Skidmore who came through to take the win, with Neil
Cragg finishing second and Lewis Jones securing third. Erik Lykke followed in fourth,
ahead of Tommy Hall (AE) in fifth and Billy Grindley (WIRC) in sixth. Dom Nunn
recovered to claim the final qualifying spot in seventh.

Semi A 

Elliott Boots (Sworks) started out in pole, with his championship rival Jonny Skidmore
(Xray) right behind. The pair were involved in a close battle early on, but as the race
progressed, Boots began to pull away while Skidmore made a few errors.
Elliott Boots went on to take the win in Semi-Final A and set the fastest overall time
compared to Semi-Final B. Jonny Skidmore held on for second place, with Lee Martin
(Xray) finishing third. Graham Alsop (HB) came home in fourth, followed by Jack Willetts
(WIRC) in fifth and James Le Pavoux (Sworks) in sixth. The final spot in the A Final was
claimed by Mike Lewis (Mayako), who finished in seventh.

Main Final 

As the A Final got underway, Elliott Boots (Sworkz) immediately began pulling away
from the field, with chaos unfolding behind him. Lewis Jones (WIRC) and many others
were locked in battles through the early stages, while Jonny Skidmore (Xray) was
forced to retire from the race after a heavy front-end collision with another car.
With championship contender Skidmore out, Lee Martin (Xray) moved up into second
place, followed by Lewis Jones (WIRC) in third. Billy Grindley (WIRC) was also in the
mix, challenging near the front. Approaching the first round of fuel stops, Elliott Boots
encountered a setback as he was forced to pit for a tyre change due to an unglued tyre.
This allowed Lee Martin to take over the race lead, while Boots dropped to fourth or
fifth.
Lee Martin led comfortably for a spell, but suffered a flame-out as he entered the pit
lane, which handed the advantage back to Elliott Boots, who had recovered to second
by that point in the race. Boots retook the lead and managed to control the race from
the front once again.
There was disappointment for Lewis Jones, who had been battling for a podium position
before suffering an issue that dropped him out of contention.
In the end, Elliott Boots took the win, with Lee Martin finishing second and Erik Lykke
(Agama) securing the final podium spot in third.

07 June 2025

The 2025 BRCA 1/8th RallyX National Championship kicked off in thrilling fashion at
the Herts Nitro Model Car Club (HNMC). With a full entry list of over 125 drivers, the
first round showcased intense competition setting the tone an season ahead. After
five rounds of intense qualifying, the top three drivers were: TQ Elliott Boots
(Sworkz) followed by Jonathan Skidmore in P2 (Xray) and Will Skidmore (Xray) in
P3.

Main Final

The main final had an interesting start as the last semi final, semi B, was affected by
a heavy rain shower, affecting the overall times. The final started with overall TQ
Elliott Boots (Sworks) starting down in 8th place! During the 40 minute break
between the last semi final and the start of the main final, a heavy rain shower left
the track with puddles, the game was really on for drivers when choosing their tyre
strategy for the full duration of the final.

Jonathan Skidmore (Xray) led the pack away for the first section of the race, closely
followed by Agamas Erik Lykke at his home track starting from P3. Both Skidmore
and Erik battled for the first quarter of the race, with Lewis Jones also battling for the
lead, there was less than 4 seconds separated the top three spots.

During the first half of the main, AE’s Tommy Hall had climbed up to 4th from 11th of
the grid, with heavy competition throughout the duration of the main from 4th to 10th
place.

Sworks Elliott Boots steadily climbed up the ranking order during the first half of the
main, then battling with Jonathan Skidmore (Xray) and Erik Lykke (Agama) for first
place. Erik then passed skid more and began hunting down Elliott. At the 35 minute
mark, fuel stop strategy had brought Boots and Lykke together on track, the crowd at
Herts were cheering for the young Erik as he began making passes for the lead!

Erik did pass Elliott but unfortunately could not make it stick and looked comfortable
for second place overall. A few laps later towards the closing stages of the main, Erik

would suffer from mechanical issues, promoting Jonathan Skidmore to 2nd place
and Lewis Jones (WIRC) to 3rd overall.

1st: Elliott Boots (SWORKz)
2nd: Joni Skidmore (XRAY)
3rd: Lewis Jones (WIRC)


Junior Championship
