The Model Automobile Racing Club of Trinidad & Tobago (MARCTT) is an innovative and electrifying membership club focusing on facilitating members with a suitable venue for amateur and professional level racing of radio controlled vehicles.

Our Vision is to:

• Encourage and build good sportsmanship amongst members
• Make RC racing convenient for all members and encourage anyone to join in the enjoyment of this spectacular hobby.
• Educate and provide exposure to the lastest technological tools and equipment to improve hobbyist skills and their RC automobiles.
• Initiate rewarding regular competitors with champions being recognized publicly.
• Encourage local, regional and international competition.

Trends:

RC Racing has taken root with many RC enthusiasts around the world where they compete in tournaments at amateur, club & professional levels.
What is the appeal? Many racers feel that RC Racing provides a total “adrenaline rush” experience; it also reflects the latest advances in technology, similar to that of the full size vehicles to which they are modeled after. Tournaments are encouraged and often hosted by clubs, manufactures and developers as a means of further marketing their products. The numbers of Tournaments being held internationally have increased in the last few years with many developers using such events to test-market or launch new model cars and updated hardware & software.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Expected Future of RC Racing:

The exciting hobby of RC Racing is no longer experiencing dwindling intrest and slow growth; in fact a recent explosion has begun in growth both locally & internationally. The future does not look grim for this hobby, unlike a fad, that would eventually die out. This membership club believes that this hobby is too much fun to die out. As to the future growth of the hobby, we belive in the concept of “self-fulfilling” prophecy. If we predict that the hobby will grow, subconsciously out actions will lead towards achieving that goal. As a club, what can we do? Well, we can start by helping newcomers and beginners by giving them useful advice, and that is the main motivation for us. The next step would be to organize affordable and enjoyable racing events. The idea is for us to all experience the fun of racing, win or lose
