For many racers, the KO GP at West London Racing Centre was one of the highlights of the RC racing calendar. This August Bank Holiday, we're delighted to bring it back.
Thanks to the support of Futaba, we've agreed a three-year partnership to revive this iconic event. Better still, every entry will help support the youth work we are doing with RC Vision, introducing more young people to RC racing through community programmes.
We know this announcement comes later than we'd have liked. Over the past few months our focus has been on securing the long-term future of the West London Racing Centre and the wider site, alongside a number of other major projects - we’d hoped to have the website sorted, security, etc. That work has delayed getting the event launched.

Saturday will be something a little different. We'll run heads-up qualifying and finals across a variety of circuit layouts to create the ultimate West London challenge.
Sunday returns to a more traditional Grand Prix format, giving everyone the chance to race on the full GP schedule.
Whether you remember the original KO GP, still have a clock on your wall, or you're discovering it for the first time, we'd love to see you there.
Over the coming years we hope to make the return of this classic meeting something special.
