VRC Pro Off-Road released

The long awaited VRC Pro Off-Road is now finally released, starring the immensely popular 4WD Short Course trucks. The release marks a milestone in the history of VRC; the leap from on-road to off-road racing. Virtual RC are very happy to finally welcome the off-road community into VRC Pro and give them nothing less than a true off-road experience. Virtual Short Course is said to be realistic beyond belief. Beta testers and others who have tried it, including Scotty Ernst, Rick Howard from Team Associated and off-road champions Atsushi Hara and Hayoto Matzusaki say “awesome … the realism of VRC Pro short course is spot-on”.

VRC Pro goes offroad

Probably the single most asked question: will there be off-road in VRC Pro? Yes, VRC Pro goes off-road, delivering on an old promise. The first class to feature in VRC Pro will be the immensely popular electric powered 1:10 scale 4WD Short Course Truck class. These cars are a good starting point into off-road, they are fun and exciting to drive (and fly…) and with the spectacular short course truck bodies they really look great on the off-road tracks. With this class VRC Pro caters for the typical basher as well as the typical racer. A wide range of top-brand tires and special off-road motors will be available for the short course trucks.

VRC Pro Column February

In February VRC Pro will release the 2008 Bangkok World Championship track, one with the 205m long 1:10 ISTC lay-out, and one with the 155m 1:12 sportscar lay-out. Both tracks are highly anticipated by the electric racers as this track has become legendary because of the immensely close battle between Marc Rheinard and Atsushi Hara. This track is no longer in operation but in VRC Pro the track lives on and for sure we will see some close racing in both 1:10 and 1:12 racing.

Ronald Volker wins VRC EP World title

Yokomo/LRP ace Ronald Völker has added a second VRC Pro World Championship title to his impressive racing legacy.

In the final Ronald was challenged by Martin Wollanka from Austria who managed to stay within 3 tenths of Ronald but a crash in lap 11 put him 2 seconds back and although he was able to make 2 tenth up in the next 5 laps Ronald ‘Mr. Consistent’ Völker cruised home with a 3.5 second gap at the finish line on Wollanka.
