Welcome to the 1/5th Scale Large Scale On-Road Section, known as 1/5th Scale LS Racing.
This is the most realistic form of racing compared to real size touring cars both in terms of handling and technical aspect.
1/5th Scale Cars are run on tarmac tracks. They run 23cc 2 Stroke Engines, similar to strimmer engines. They are rear wheel drive driven and have a single speed clutch & diff set up. Running 4 wheel disc brakes, normally hydraulic based but also cable based depending on brand.
The great thing about 1/5th Scale Cars is that you can get full competition, aluminium & carbon based cars or you can also get the highly popular FG Mini Car, which is a stripped down, shorter wheel based 1/5th Scale Car, which is great for beginners or those on a budget.
This scale of R/C Racing is all about having fun, racing with a smile and learning as much as possible among fellow racers. With tracks all around the UK & Northern Ireland, its easy to find a track near you.
By Craig Orman Here we are back again at our second visit to the prestigious Wombwell circuit in Yorkshire.
Again, like our last visit here earlier this year the weather didn’t disappoint although slightly cooler which I think everyone appreciated
Saturday practice was busy on track and the day seemed to fly by but at least we were blessed with dry track conditions.
During the night the heavens opened which thankfully stopped during the early hours of Sunday.
This left us with a mildly damp track Sunday morning which soon dried making way for some electrifying qualifying.
Finals were also dry and extremely exciting to watch as all drivers gave it their all as this was the last round and valuable points had to be gained.
Thanks again to Babs and Trevor for providing us with this amazing facility which is maintained by them to a very high standard.
