Petit 6th Edition revisits the Raceway!!

"Proud to be the home of the Derby Radio Control Model Car club, one of the oldest RC clubs in the country."

What's it all About?

Until you try RC (Radio Controlled) racing you don't know what you are missing. At the Ardent Raceway in the East Midlands we cater for the 'Ardent RC Racer' but also for the 'potential' RC enthusiasts or those who are looking for something completely different to do at the weekend.

We provide opportunities for racing with many exciting special events and regular club meetings. The remainder of the time when we are open is available for practice.

We pride ourselves on creating a fun, friendly and informative atmosphere to ensure your experience at the Raceway is the best we can possibly give you. Browse the Tabs at the top for more information and we hope to see you real soon.
