30th Anniversary Grand Prix

2025 marks the 30th consecutive year that Bedworth RCCC have been racing outdoors on-road!

To celebrate the occasion, we are holding a grand prix meeting.

There will be trophies for the top three in each final! These will be the fantastic wooden plaques that we usually only give out at nationals; engraved with Bedworth’s logo, with additional decals for the GP30 event.

Frontie Rules

Frontie will run to the BRCA 2025 rules with control electrics and tyres:

  To encourage racers to dust off their Frontie kit and race the GP30 event, we’re allowing 2024 tyres alongside the new 2025 ones.
  We’ve done quite a lot of running on both tyres on Wednesday evenings and there doesn’t seem to be any performance difference.
