Tamiya Championship Series at 180 Raceway – Report

180 Raceway in Maryland played host to the second stop on the 2025 Tamiya Championship Series Race Schedule last weekend with the race attracting 138 entries. A track that has hosted TCS races since 2017, track owner Casey Young has been involved with hosting races for Tamiya on the east coast since 1997. This year the track instituted closer motor tech, and the racing was fabulous with door to door racing in all classes. With 2 qualifiers and a single main per class it was a packed program. In Novice Spec, youngster Gabby Nano overcame some early challenges and raced her way into a lead late she held to take victory. In GT-2 Track owner Case Young and Manny F. had a great battle, then Manny donated his winning kit to a young racer. From NYC Jone Kim won the very closely contested ProSpec, which was the class most effected by the new tech procedures, and this resulted in very close racing.

2025 TITC Chassis Focus Index

21 editions of the TITC have been completed and thanks to the support of Hobbywing, Red RC was once again able to make the annual trip to the Infinity RC Addict Circuit in Bangkok to cover this truly unique event. By far the greatest one yet in terms of all the pre-race hype, 2025 was the year the race got to play out moments that will forever be engrained in the sport’s history. Bruno Coelho’s first ever race with Infinity, Michal Orlowski’s first ever TITC. As the saying goes, ‘you only get one chance to make a first impression’ and wow was an impression Orlowski made on the ‘world’s toughest race’ – complete domination. We also have to mention A3 and the last lap between Marc Rheinard and Bruno Coelho, that pass was pure Rheinard gold and having been reporting on his racing at the top level for so many years it was brilliant to see he still has that magic. It was interesting to chat with a number of drivers for whom this was their first time experiencing the TITC, they didn’t actually need to tell us they were loving it because it was already written all over their faces, it was like they had rediscovered the joy of racing again. We get to go to our fair share of races around the world and none come close in terms of everyone enjoying themselves. The laughter in the pits and the enthusiasm of the crowd watching the racing is infectious, and we still get to see the best in the World race head to head for a title they all desire so much – it truly is the unofficial World Championships.
