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.

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.
