Thanks to RC electronics producer Team Cayote, Red RC is excited to be travelling next to Portugal for the first ever IFMAR 1:8 Electric Offroad World Championship. Taking place in the northern city of Barcelos from August 26-30th, 129 drivers have registered for the history making event which will see the first ever 1:8 eBuggy World Champion crowned on Saturday, 30th of August.

A predominantly European based entry, 9 drivers from ROAR will represent the Offroad powerhouse nation that is the United States. Among those making the trip from Stateside is 4-time 1:10 Offroad World Champion Ryan Cavalieri, former 1:10 Offroad World Champion Ryan Maifield and reigning ROAR National Champion Dakotah Phend.
