RC Bike World Championship Warmup Race – Report
With Australia set to host the first ever RC Bike World Championships to be run outside of Europe since it the inception of the event in 2004, the 2025 hosts held the warm-up race for the August 3-9th Main event in Brisbane over the weekend. Rolling into England Park Raceway, the racing did not disappoint. Easily one of the best tracks in the country, it brought high grip, a smooth-as-glass surface, banked corners, and full lighting for night racing. Add a crew of top-notch locals and that coastal breeze from Moreton Bay, and you’ve got a dream setting for a week of serious RC bike action. With three Classes, 1:5 Superbike, 1:5 Stock Bike and 1:4 Super Moto, the 1:5 Nitro class sat this one out due to low numbers, but don’t worry—they’ll be firing on all cylinders in August, with seven confirmed entries already locked in for the main event. With clear skies, 18–25°C across the days, and barely a breath of wind, track grip stayed solid all week, and even when finals day started grey with a light sprinkle, it cleared quickly, delivering the hottest, fastest conditions of the whole event.
