Next Race... 2015 Bangkok International RC Car Championship (BIRC)

                                                 Date: 01 & 02 August 2015 (Sat & Sun)

                                          Location: Huge RC Circuit, Bangkok, Thailand


An annual event being held at Huge RC Circuit, located somewhere in Bangkok, Thailand
If I am not mistaken, this race will be the 3rd edition.

For 2015 edition, there will be a total of 9 classes of touring races:-

1. Modified touring
2. 13.5T boost touring
3. 13.5T non-boost touring
4. 17.5T non-boost touring
5. 17.5T Junior touring
6. 1/8 GT GP
7. 1/10 GP
8. F1 Non-Boost 21.5T
9. 1/10 Mini Non-Boost 17.5T (Tamiya Chassis only)

At this stage, I am thinking of racing in 3 classes. 

Am still not sure...
