Czech gets new 1:10 astroturf offroad track

The Czech Republic is getting a new 1:10 astroturf offroad track which is set to open this August.  The new track is part of the existing Max Land / RC Divoké Jelení racing complex in Horní Jelení which already includes a full-size 1:8 clay track and regularly hosts major national events.  The new astro turf addition brings modern electric offroad racing facilities to the heart of Eastern Bohemia.  Designed to accommodate 1:10 buggies, stadium trucks, and short course trucks, the track features a high-traction astro surface, a technical yet flowing layout, and jump sections that allow for configuration changes, that will also be upgraded in the future events.  Supporting infrastructure includes a new drivers’ stand, covered pit area, solid fence around the track and easy access for visitors from outside.  The official opening is scheduled for August 8th, during the weekend of the Czech 1:8 Offroad National Championship.

The ceremony will include a few words from the owners the Götzl family and sponsors, a welcome from RCAČR officials, and informal time for drivers and guests to explore the new track.  The venue is also the home track of Max Götzl, multiple Czech National Champion, Florida Carpet Stock Champion and European B Champion, who will be present throughout the event.  As a local driver with international experience, Götzl has been closely involved in the track’s development and will be among the first to race on the new surface.  Teams from Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland and other countries have already expressed interest in the opening weekend.  With both 1:8 and 1:10 tracks now fully operational, Max Land / RC Divoké Jelení is positioning itself as a key location for high-level off-road racing in Central Europe.
