The 2011 RC Force Challenge took place the weekend of June 18-19 2022 and was hosted by Ansan Jungwong Circuit. The facility had containers for racers to pit in, car cleaning station, snack bar, and two tracks. One for 1/10th racing and a larger track for 1/8th nitro racing. When the racing was finished there were lots of free giveaways to racers and spectators which included everything from air-filters to engines and signed wheels and a signed body from Adam Drake. Everyone played rock, paper, and scissors to determine the winners of the prizes. It was TLR / Novarossi driver Adam Drake who dominated qualifying with his 8ight 2.0 buggy. Adam used TLR’s 8ight 2.0 buggy, Novarossi’s BTTS engine and 9901 pipe, Spektrum DX3R Pro transmitter and Losi Digit tires with Losi’s closed cell foam. The final was 60 minutes and Adam’s buggy and engine worked flawless for the entire race and he was able to take home the victory.

The BRCA 1/8th national traveled far up north to Wakefield, West Yorkshire with Darren Bloomfield being the point’s leader going into round 4. With MMRX being a new venue and most of the drivers never attending a race at the track it made this race much more challenging. Darren Bloomfield would show why he is the point’s leader with taking the overall TQ after the first two rounds of qualifying and he also lead the 30min A final from start to finish with his TLR 8ight EU 2.0 followed by Simon Willerrs (Mugen/Orion), Graham Alsop (Hot Bodies/RB) and Ed Kerry (TLR/Novarossi).

Another round of the Danish 1/10 off-road national race series was held in Viborg on the 18th on June on a very bumpy track near Jutland. Most of the Danish drivers had spent Friday practising on the new venue, and the beautiful prepared outdoor carpet track proved a good challenge with its cool layout and challenging jumps and tables. Q1 went to Nicolai Sørensen driving his Losi 22 in mid-motor configuration while Jonas Kaerup, driving an AE/CML C4.1 mid-motor buggy ended up 13th in the round doing many mistakes.
