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.

The BRCA 1/5th Circuit Section are pleased to announced its calendar of events for the 2025 National championship for 5th scale racing.

The championships will be contested over 8 outdoor rounds on tarmac, with each driver’s best 7 scores counting towards their final placing in the series. During the season we will visit several of the established venues. The venues have been chosen based on their geographic spread, the level of their track and facilities, their previous track record of hosting similar events and of course the feedback we have received from our competitors from last year.

 

2025 entry fee £30 per round.
