Question RC Car Shows in UK??

Hi all,

I wondered if there is a decent sized RC show held here, sort of Earls Court sized at all?

If not why not?

Cheers

Boons

No, because people who race RC would moan at the entrance price!

Default Awsome show

With the huge success of the Rudebits gp. I'm sure Tony could pull something like that off. Turn it into an open thing for public to see the sport and promote it. Complete with a track etc get some names involved. Wow what an opportunity. Don't miss the train Tony.

My 2pence spent.

Indoor venue with big enough track and show area, with catering and parking complete with enough sq metres for shops, manufacturers etc would need to be huge. Say £15 general entrance you'd need 5000 people to make it work over two days. Non starter.

Not sure people would pay to go and just look at cars...

Mix in a biggish race event and you may have more joy!
