Welcome to the 1/12 Electric Circuit Section of the BRCA.
1/12 scale is one of the oldest RC racing classes still in existence and can trace it's roots way back to the 1970's. Traditionally it was a training and development ground for drivers who later went on to become champions in this and other classes. More recently the class has become more specialised, due in no small part to the development of a wide range of other RC categories over the years.
That said, 1/12 is still a class that caters for competitors of all ages and abilities. The recent introduction of the GT12 class has resulted in an explosion in popularity of 1/12 scale racing at club level, and our national championships continue to be well attended.
Whether you're just a casual club racer or a pro driver, the 1/12 section has something to offer you and we invite you to come and share experiences with us.

By Chase Mackman What a great weekend at the annual masters of foam race . Plenty of Brits travelled across the channel to compete against the best of what Europe has too offer . 5 Brits made the A-main in Spec 13.5 and 3 in Mod . Andy Murray would seed first in spec after setting the fastest 3 consecutive lap times . However , Olllie Payne would dominate qualifying in both Mod and Spec . Ollie's eXcellerate would start from the front in the 3 legged mains . Although Ollie would only need 2 legs as he would wrap up both the wins in mod and stock . Only one brit would make the GT A-main . Adam Southgate would take the TQ and WIN in the GT class .
