In 2026 we will be running three main classes, which are Touring Cars, M-Chassis, and Tamiya Trucks. We will try to accommodate other classes where possible, such as F1, where there are enough entrants to warrant it. All of our classes are based around 1:10 electric on-road chassis, we don't run nitro at Carlisle at all.
​
Below is a quick overview of each class, click through them to see a more detailed description and a full list of rules.
Touring Cars
The Touring Car (TC) class is open to any commercially available electric 1:10 on-road chassis that is 190mm wide. Most of these cars are 4wd, but 2wd "Fronties" are also permitted to race.
​
This is the only class we regularly run that permits brushless motors, so it is usually the fastest class racing at Carlisle.
Tamiya M-Chassis
This class is open to any of the Tamiya chassis denote with the M-XX chassis number. This is a 2wd class that run brushed Torque Tuned motors, making it very accessible to new drivers.
We also have an M-05 club car available for those wanting to try the hobby before committing to buying a car.
Tamiya Euro Trucks
This class has been the largest growing in recent years, and is probably the cheapest class to get into. All trucks use the 4wd Tamiya TT-01 or TT-01E chassis, a realistic Tamiya truck body shell, and the same bushed Torque Tuned motor that the M-Chassis class uses. This class has proven to provide some of the tightest racing we have at CRMCC!
Formula 1
Fancy yourself as the next Verstappen or Norris, but don't have their budget? The F1 class provides some great racing and is open to any 1:10 scale chassis.
There are some great kits around for this class, which makes it the only time you're likely to see the legendary Tyrrell P34 6-wheeler go head-to-head with a Red Bull!
