Hi there,

You have Swindon about 25 minutes away and also Chippenham race 1:10 Electric Off-Road buggies and SC trucks outdoors during the summer.

There are a lot of guys from this area that come to HNMC in the summer 2.5 hours drive for our race meetings sure you could hook up with them.

Sadly you will find yourself in no man's land for competitive 1/10th off road, out of the bottom of the middle West region but not really in either mid south or South West regions either.

Clubs wise you have Yatton (indoor) & worm outdoor not too far away.
You also have Swindon close.
Ledbury isn't far

I'm in Cheltenham, also part of the no man's land :'(

I'll repeat the mention of WORM (Weston-super-Mare) and Yatton, and add Caldicot RC Racers to that list, as it's only an hour from Cirencester.

All have sections on here if you poke around.

WORM run roughly fortnightly on the outdoor astro track, and when the weather is bad Yatton take up the meeting at their indoor venue for us as they are just up the road!

Caldicot run every Friday night all year round indoors and run 10th and micro offroad. It's just the other side of the Severn Bridge, but don't let the bridge toll put you off...the racing only costs £2 per night for members, £3 for non members, so no worse than going to most other clubs in total! There are a good few who come from other side of the bridge (me included!) and it's always a good nights racing
