A New Stage for Speed & Passion | Grand Opening of Hongyu·GDC Racing Center

Right in the heart of Qiandeng Lake, Foshan (Greater Bay Area, China), the Hongyu·GDC International Science & Racing Center has officially opened. Covering more than 10,000㎡, it is China’s first world-class RC racing facility — and the world’s only all-in-one RC hub.

Four professional tracks are available:

  • Outdoor asphalt on-road track (3,300㎡ | 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, GT, electric & nitro)
  • Indoor clay off-road track (1,300㎡ | 1/8 & 1/10 off-road, electric & nitro)
  • Indoor asphalt multi-purpose arena (1,000㎡ | RC drifting, crawlers, scale engineering, mini RC, and more)
  • Indoor crawler course (supports 1/24, 1/10, 1/8 competitions)

Just 30 minutes away, the Foshan GDC RC Club (opened in 2023) continues to operate with an indoor carpet on-road track and an indoor off-road track, both open year-round for races and daily practice. Together, the two venues form a “Twin-Star RC Layout,” positioning Foshan as a true hub for RC activities.

Looking ahead: In 2026, the Hongyu·GDC Racing Center will host the IFMAR ISTC 1/10 Electric Touring Car World Championship and the 1/12 Electric On-Road World Championship, welcoming the world’s top RC drivers for a true world-class showdown.

Cancellation of Costa Rica IFMAR 1/10th worlds event.

IFMAR was just informed by FAMAR that the Costa Rica event needs to be cancelled due to noise issues with a neighbor party. Despite offers from the club to build a wall the local government is not willing to cooperate. To avoid late minute cancelling due to not having the necessary permits the organizing club decided to cancel now with about 5 months to go. IFMAR understand this is not the NEWS we want to submit, but this is force majeure and beyond IFMAR and the organizer. IFMAR are looking into the possibility to move to another location.
