Singapore’s RCMC track gets new surface

It’s Singapore’s only permanent track, and today RCMC underwent major resurfacing work.  The home to the annual Electric Singapore International Challenge (eSIC), which last year hosted its biggest edition of the electric touring car race, and the annual Singapore Open Nitro race, the resurfacing has been a major undertaking for the country’s RC Community.  Due to the planned work, the track’s bump on the main straight causing drivers some spectacularly big crashes at eSIC, it was decided t0 defer the fourth edition of the race to 2027 in anticipation of the work.  Moving to a July date in 2025, this proved a positive switch for the event which was won by Axon’s Akio Sobue ahead of Xray’s Alexander Hagberg and Team Cayote’s Atsushi Hara.  Held on the same weekend as the Singapore F1 Grand Prix in October, the international visitors to the Singapore Open will get the bonus of fresh asphalt this year.  One of the driving forces behind eSIC, Singapore’s top international driver Nicolas Lee was on hand to see the work being carried out by some pretty large scale machinery and captured these images of the big day for Radio Control Modellers’ Club Singapore.
