What is a 1/12th stock car? It is a radio-controlled scale model of a full-size BriSCA F1 stock car: roughly 30cm long, powered by an electric motor and battery pack, and running on foam tyres, which come in a range of compounds.

What makes them different?
ContactJust like their full-size counterparts, contact is allowed. This is no banger race, though: a well-judged nudge is an art form in itself, gaining you a place while stopping your opponent from doing the same at the next corner.
The trackPurpose-built ovals on specially designed carpet that is both grippy and durable.
SpeedA lap takes under three seconds on the tightest tracks in the country.
Set-upTyres, suspension and gear ratios are all adjustable, to suit the track and the way you drive.
Custom built by racers
You'll struggle to buy a 1/12th stock car in the shops. The best way to get one is to come along to a race meeting at your local club.
There are usually second-hand cars available to start you off, or you can buy a brand-new car from some of the drivers. The cars are well built and can take plenty of punishment without breaking.
