After many successful seasons with the UF1 (
https://uf1rc.com/), we had been talking about a new Series with a 4WD Touring Car of some sort. One of the designers from Team Associated, running in the UF1 Series, came to me with an idea based on a new car they were about to come out with - the ST550.
This car was rolls on the Apex2 Sport chassis with the entry level crowd in mind. It is available in RTR trim, has good electronics and topped with a killer Australian V8 SuperCar body! That 1:1 series was always a favorite of ours - big, bulky cars going head to head around some of the coolest tracks in the world.
We had a chat about it and agreed that, with a few minor upgrades, this could prove to be a really cool Spec Series - and the
Super Touring Championship was formed.
The real SuperCar racing format is a bit different than standard racing - different qualifying, different race lengths, different scoring - so we decided to mimic all of it in the STC. It should prove to be a fun and exciting Series!
Our first Season will include an 6-race Series at
Cal Raceway. Follow up Series will travel around to local tracks in the area.
Thanks for your interest in the Super Touring Championship. There's plenty of info on this site but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us!
