For more information about 8th RallyX and Covid-19 please Click Here 

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.

HNMC was the first stop on the BRCA Rallycross calendar this year, down near Ware in Hertfordshire, this great technical track always provides some great racing and this weekend was no different. The predicted inclement weather didn’t appear  but the newly oiled and drying track would mean some changing and challenging track conditions through the qualifying stage.

It was the first time since the World Championships last year that the top drivers had all competed together and lots of changes of sponsorships and a few familiar faces stepping away from racing would spice things up! It was Elliott Boots and his Sworkz and Joni Skidmore and his Xray who would be doing battle for the qualifying top spot once again, following on from the previous 2 years amazing championships.

After all 5 years rounds of qualifying it was tight at the top, but it was Joni Skidmore who took overall TQ with Elliott just behind in 2nd. William Skidmore and his Xray got the 3rd spot and Kevin Brunsden and his new Agama N1 Buggy clinched 4th, with team mate Lee Martin and his N1 rounding out the top 5!

Jonny Skidmore - Overall TQ


The lower finals started Sunday morning, bump up results were as follows:- B 1/64 1st Neill Daunt /Sworkz 2nd Jake Dell /Agama 3rd Jamie Bowen /WRC 4th Nick Simmerson /Agama A 1/64 1st Tommy Dale /Serpent 2nd Ian Gallespie /Kyosho 3rd Andrew Rennick /Mayako 4th Chris Procter /Sworkz B 1/32 1st Wayne Buckthorne /Sworkz 2nd Lee Maggs /Xray 3rd Jake Dell /Agama 4th Ben Kenneth /Agama A 1/32 1st Mark Everitt /Mayako 2nd Ashley Patterson /Sworkz 3rd Tommy Dale /Serpent 4th Clive Malland /AE B 1/16 1st Paul Abbott / HB 2nd Stewart Wilcox /TLR 3rd Barry Abbott /Mugen 4th David Rose /Sworkz A 1/16 1st Jack Ritchie /Kyosho 2nd Mick Butler /Sworkz 3rd Michael Rivière/Sworkz 4th Adam Buckholt /Sworkz B 1/8 1st Westley Jolly /Tekno 2nd Paul Abbott /HB 3rd Reuben Shakespeare /Sworkz 4th Callum Mcloughlin /Kyosho A 1/8 1st Ashlee Owen /Agama 2nd Kyle Book /Kyosho 3rd Daniel Austin /Tekno 4th Matt Box /WRC B 1/4 1st Simon Willetts /Mugen 2nd Darren Hayden-Ball /Sworkz 3rd Jack Willetts /Mugen 4th Tehannah Cradock /Kyosho A 1/4 1st Paul Crompton /Xray 2nd Karl Jackson /WRC 3rd Ashlee Owen /Agama 4th Robson White /Xray The Semi final B side was Dominated by Elliott and his Reds powered Sworkz machine. He led every lap of the race, crossing the line with the extra lap on the field after 20 mins. After a relatively linear start it was Lewis Jones of WRC, Kevin Brunsden and his Agama and the Mayako of Josh Graham that would take on the challenge for 2nd spot throughout the race. Lewis passed Kevin for 2nd after the initial laps and that’s where he remained for the majority of the race, he too pulling a gap to the racers behind him of over 10s. It was a lot closer between Kevin and Josh who crossed the line barely 1.5s apart, Josh with 3rd and Kevin 4th. 5th with a consistant drive was Neil Cragg and his AE and 6th was the talented Jnr driver Billy Grindley and his Sworkz passing the line just behind him. A great drive by Bradley Baird and his mayako saw him grab the final promotion of the final from starting 10th.
Boots Reds powered Sworkz:


The A semi saw the Skidmore show! With both Joni and Will being 1st and 2nd for the entities of the race, an impressive drive from the brothers. Joni taking the win with Will 2nd. A brilliant drive by Lee Martin and the new N1 buggy saw him take the 3rd spot 3s up from the super fast Jnr, Sworkz driver Dylan Saunders who took 4th. The mega consistant HB of Graham Alsop came through next for 5th. There was a good battle for the 6/7th places between Mike Lewis’ Mayako and the Sworkz of James Le Pavaux, with James eventually getting 6th at the buzzer with Mike 7th. The main event would see Joni pole and Elliott 2nd! The gathering crowd were in for a race that saw lots of thrills and spills. After a relatively straight forward first lap or so, Boots made an uncharacteristic error which saw him at the back of the field in 12th. This meant Joni had a good lead, but that too was short lived, with him dropping back to 3rd, behind the Sworkz of Jnr driver Dylan Saunders now leading and the WRC of Lewis Jones in 2nd. Boots was on a mission, and by lap 14 he was back up with the leaders again! An incredible drive by him to carve through the countries best drivers! Joni managed to pass Dylan just after half way with Boots 3rd and Jones 4th, unfortunately a return to the pits for Jones saw him drop out of the hunt, so now Boots and Skidmore were gunning for Saunders! It was an amazing race between all 3 with Boots and Skidmore pressing the young Sworkz driver for many laps, Joni passing him just a few laps before he suddenly stopped on track from 1st, leaving the door open for Boots. Dylan did manage to pass Elliott again but Boots retained the lead after a few laps and that’s where he stayed, taking the win from Saunders in 2nd with the Xray of Will Skidmore in 3rd. 4th was the Agama of Kevin Brunsden and 5th Graham Alsop and his HB car. A great race to finish off a great weekend of racing and the perfect opening event of the season.

We head to Brookthorpe near Gloucester in June, and we can’t wait to see how the series unfolds. Thanks to all the crew at the Herts club, the BRCA RallyX committee and to all the racers and supporting members for all their efforts. Bring on the next round!
