The British Radio Car Association (or BRCA) is an organisation to promote the construction and racing of all types of radio controlled cars in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1971 by Ted Longshaw and Keith Plested, we coordinate BRCA affiliated clubs in the UK and offer insurance for any accidents that might occur. We also organise regional and national racing events for various classes. Each year the BRCA produces a rules booklet for every UK racing class with specific rules relating to maximum and minimum dimensions, homologated motors & batteries and general procedures. It is recommended (and at some clubs compulsory) that model car enthusiasts become a BRCA member due to its insurance and health + safety benefits.
The BRCA is a member of EFRA (European Federation Of Radio Operated Model Automobiles), who are in turn part of IFMAR (International Federation of Model Auto Racing). BRCA members regularly represent the UK at international events run under the EFRA and IFMAR banners.
