RC Racing Comes to Silverstone Museum for a Special One-Off Event
RC racing is heading to one of the most iconic locations in British motorsport this September, with a special one-off event taking place immediately outside Silverstone Museum on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September 2026.
Organised by Junction 16 Racing, in partnership with Silverstone Museum and Schumacher R/C Racing, the weekend will put 1/10 off-road RC racing right in front of museum visitors and motorsport fans.
The aim of the event is to introduce RC racing to a new audience and showcase just how well the sport can sit alongside the wider motorsport community. With visitors able to watch the action and interact with racers throughout the weekend, it’s a fantastic opportunity to promote the hobby and hopefully pave the way for more events of this kind in the future.
