In the eighties every child dreamed to find it under the Christmas tree.
Today adults especially like the radio-controlled car and have transformed the game in a hobby first and in a sport then.
Riccione is waiting for fans of the “dynamic RC model-making”, this is the correct name of the discipline, and for their miniature racing cars on the track “Road Race Riccione“.
Managed by the association “Polisportiva Spontricciolo”, it frequently hosts the major Italian races of radio-controlled models of cars and motorcycles.
Asphalt track, open from Monday to Sunday, from 08.30 a.m. to 06.00 p.m. in winter and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in summer, it makes exciting the training and the race with its nervous and demanding route.
An annual subscription to become members and a daily pass to try the experience regulate the access to the runway.
Then the roar of the engine, better of the little engine, that rises strong, the stopwatch that starts, the personal record time to improve, the most exciting manoeuvres and overtakings, the show of little aerodynamic racing cars that radio-controlled from the stage speed fast and powerful to climb to the stars the adrenaline of the “pilots at a distance”.
Sports that would have raised enthusiasm in futurists, now it arouses passion in people that are expert in engines and that wisely prefer to the the thrill of speed on the road that on the track (no dangers or fines!)
Especially men who, having assembled piece by piece, coloured and personalized their creature, finally lead it to make two laps.
And if the laps already made are many and it’s time to compete, we remind that on December 14 2008 on track “Road Race Riccione”, in Saluzzo street 55, there will be the prestigious appointment of G. P. Christmas cat. 1 / 10 - 1 / 8 - Classic “rigid”.
We are waiting for pilots, mechanics and their miniature racing cars in the best Riccione hotels of the city, where a wide range of services and the friendliness of the staff will make special the stay in the Green Pearl of the Adriatic.
