Nestled snugly at the back of the Elsburg Sports Complex is a hidden gem in the world of radio control car racing – RC Superbowl.<\/p>\n

RC Superbowl, which was established in 1985, is a radio control car racing club for 1:10th electric off-road cars.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The club has a proud history of racing and has been the host of multiple South African Radio Drivers Association (SARDA) National Championships over the years, being home to the longest running dirt track in South Africa and boasting some of the fastest racers in the competitive circuit at the moment.<\/p>\n

The GCN visited the club last Sunday, during their first monthly race meeting of the year.<\/p>

\u201cWe have been here for years,\u201d explained Guilherme de Sousa, on behalf of the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe used to only have the dirt track at the club, but since the introduction of the carpet track in February 2019 our numbers have begun to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Sousa further explained that in South Africa and globally carpet track racing is growing in popularity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of entries at our club races and I believe it is because of the carpet track,\u201d said de Sousa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the carpet the level of competitiveness is higher and you will always find someone to compete against.\u201d<\/p>\n
