Having covered our first ever 1:8 GT World Championship in Australia 2 years ago, Red RC is excited to be travelling to Santiago, Chile, for the next chapter in IFMAR GT class history where drivers will battle it out to become the 3rd World Champion of the Nitro class. This year will also see the crowning of the inaugural eGT World Champion as the electric class gains World Championship status having run as a World Cup race in Sydney.

Taking place at the very impressive Club de Aeromodelos de Chile (CACH) facility, our coverage of how the championships unfold has been made possible thanks to Sweep Racing, Energy Fuel and reigning World Champion chassis manufacturer Hong Nor. Sweep Racing are the official controlled tyre supplier for these World Championships while Italian fuel manufacturer Energy is the controlled fuel for not just the 1:8 GT Worlds but also the 1:8 Onroad Worlds which also take place at CACH later in the year.

Red RC is looking forward to travelling to South America, our last trip to this part of the world being for the 2012 1:8 Buggy Worlds in Argentina, with our coverage beginning on Wednesday, September 17th, with the first round of qualifying. We hope you will follow our coverage as we tell the story of how the sport’s latest World Champions are crowned.
