What is the Challenge Cup...

Started in 2007, a consortium of Western Australia’s major RC racing Clubs have banded together to solidify and promote
RC racing in WA. This initiative is aimed at supporting regional clubs, and to promote our sport and hobby
of RC, and to re-kindle interest within existing enthusiasts whilst attracting newcomers to the sport.

The eventis called the "The West Australian Challenge Cup Series", comprising of several non-sanctioned
race meetings. Each meeting will be held over a two day weekend made up of Day 1 Practice & Qualifying
and Day 2 Finals. The clubs involved in this initiative so far include Geraldton, Radio Rally Club and
Model Off Road Buggy Club. Each club will host at least one of the events in their own right.

There will be an overall series winner decided after all the events for the year have been run. This winner will be
declared based on total Laps for all theevents. And of course there will be a Series Winner for each
participating class - buggy and truggy. The aim of the Series is to make it an annual WA RC event
with Series Champion Cups being perpetual, and we are confident that this type of non sanctioned event will
stimulate growth, vibrancy and more challenges to the sport of RC in WA.
