RC Rally

🏁 What is RC Rally?

RC rally (Radio Controlled Rally) is a model racing discipline that brings the magic of real rally racing to the 1:10 scale. At first glance, they may look like small cars, but in reality, it is a technically and physically demanding motorsport where every detail matters – from chassis setup to tire selection.

🚗 Where is RC Rally raced?

RC rally is driven on tracks that resemble real rally stages – featuring corners, elevation changes, various surfaces, and jumps. Races consist of special stages (SS) that are electronically timed. Each driver uses one car for the entire event – without changing the chassis or body. Penalties are given for mistakes such as false starts or cutting the track.

Models are usually 2WD or 4WD with electric power. Car bodies must represent real rally cars. Track surfaces vary from asphalt and hard-packed dirt to gravel or mixed layouts. The right tire choice often decides the winner.

Because rally tracks are very technical and usually not fully visible from one spot, drivers must run alongside their cars. Physical fitness is therefore also important.
