1/5 Scale On-Road International Grand Prix in Miami FL - March 9-10-11 2018
 

We are happy to announce that there will be a 1/5 Scale On-Road International Grand Prix held in Miami FL (Homestead FL) hosted by Homestead RC Raceway at the RC track in Homestead-Miami Speedway. The schedule is set for March 9-10-11 of 2018.

We will follow up with recommended hotels for those that come from overseas, although more than likely most pilots will prefer to stay near the action in Miami Beach. Yes, we will be inviting the top drivers from Europe, so don't miss this event!!!

We will have for this race only 1 class (GT and Sedan together). No F1 at the moment.

For those that dont know, the RC track is located on the north side of the main road course.

Thanks,

Congrats on getting this race organized and hopefully 5th scale up and running again in Florida. If there is anything the Texas 5 can do to help, let us know.

The best thing you can do to help, is to show up!!!
Looking forward to meeting you!

Let me see what I can do. There is a potential track in Cali that may open around that time but nothing is official on that yet. So, lets see what transpires over the next couple of months. What classes are you planning to have in the program?

Only 1 class at the moment (Gt and sedan bodies together), no F1.
