Welcome to the F2 Stockcars.
You will find F2 stockcar clubs all across the UK, from Scotland right down south to Cornwall. Each club offers their own championships but the BRCA 1/12th F2 stock car class also organise a national series of championships, including the English champion, National points champion, European champion and the world champion.
We also like to encourage our juniors, we also run the junior championships along side the big ones.
The F2 stock cars have many different manufacturers. Our cars are all widely available. Either in kit form from an online store such as Kamtec or track side from a builder/racer at your local track. F2 stock cars use a brushed motor, electronic speed controller and a 4 cell 4.8v NIMH battery. Plenty of power output making for some fast and close racing on track all year round.
If you need any further information, help or advise on our F2 stock car class, please do not hesitate to get in touch. .The cars themselves are 1/12th scale and are a version of the full size Brisca f2 stockcars. Powered by 4 cell NIMH batteries and a brushed 21 turn motor with an electronic speed controller. Racing over 5 minute heats. Racing is very close and competitive with great banter and atmosphere in the pit area.

Noah first won the junior world championship at the age of 10 years and 16 days old. So never think your too young. We accept anyone of any age, as long as your thumbs work then come and join in.

Cars
All the cars are a reasonable representation of the full size Brisca F2 stock cars being raced on Ovals around the country.
Type of Track
These cars are raced indoors on a carpeted Oval Track. There are a numerous Oval clubs up and down the country, most of which can be found in the back of this booklet, and/or on the BRCA web site.
There is no standard size of track, some are quite small, while others are quite large in comparison, this adds to fun of adjusting your driving skill to match the track conditions, just as in full size racing.
Racing
Most clubs race on an evening all year round , with heats of up to 9 cars racing for 5 minutes., with 3 or 4 rounds and a final. This is full contact racing, and it isn’t necessary to be the fastest, but be skilful in how you handle or avoid the hits that bring the success.
The BRCA National Series runs from January through to December mainly on weekends.
At the Nationals there are trophies at each meeting and points for the end of season trophies.
All ages and abilities are catered for and most clubs and venues have disables access.
Other
One thing that is apparent at stock car meetings, be it National or Club events, is everybody is having fun. There is a serious side to the sport, winning trophies, points and the World Championships, but the main ethos is having fun.
You will not break the bank if you wish to take up this form of radio controlled car racing, for as little as around
£200 you could be on the track racing. The best way to find out about these is to visit one of the local clubs that race them
National rd4 at Blackpool Oval Racing Club.
