Update: Open Invitational XV 2014

With just 91 days remaining for the biggest R/C event in the Caribbean, drivers and teams are already preparing for this mega event.

We've seen pictures from Aruba, showing the

Lithium R/C Team plotting the new track layout to begin with their practice weekends. We've also received many setup and combination questions from many racers from abroad...you could say WE ARE ALL EXCITED.

Up to right now there are 50+ registrations for this race, with competitors from 6 countries which include Aruba, Barbados, Curacao, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and the US with a few more pending.

This event will be huge, there's no doubt about it.

The biggest news is naturally the first registrations for the newly added 1/8 GT gas category with 2 registrations, both coming out of Trinidad and Tobago, but from what I hear there are a few more countries ready to register for this exciting new category.

Here's the count of registrations per category, with the biggest being the Touring Car Electric 13.5t + blinky mode field with 26 participants.

Touring Car Gas with 9 participants,

1/8 LMP Gas with 11 participant ,

1/8 GT Gas with 2 participants and

1/10 GTP Electric with 8 participants.

Be sure to visit the CRCCDA website and pay attention to the event rules:

...since we've received many question about motor selection of certain categories for instance.

Stay tuned for CRCCDA's 1st National event results where Team PapoRacing R/C achieved podium finishes for TC-elec and GTP-elec. There much more on the way...keep posted!
