POLOKWANE – The Bushveld Model Racing RC Track buzzed with engines and controllers on Saturday as drivers delivered an entertaining and action-packed day of competition.

Electric motors whirred as competitors navigated tight corners and humps, daring jumps and fast straights. Friends, families and supporters lined the sidelines, following every lap as cars sped toward the finish line.

Spectators were also treated to a free RC demonstration, with some given the opportunity to test-drive RC cars and crawlers, adding to the day’s excitement.

The BMR off-road experience showcased both speed and skill, with drivers battling it out in friendly yet competitive races on the carpet circuit. Several participants drew attention with their customised machines, displaying detailed builds, colourful paintwork and finely tuned setups.
