RC Cars & Drift St. Wendel

RC Cars & Drift is the radio-controlled model car section of TV 1861 St. Wendel e.V., operating a permanent outdoor asphalt on‑road track and an indoor hall track for carpet racing and drifting. The club runs regular training sessions, organised races and guest days with named trainers and live timing for events.

Visitors can join free training or race events as guest drivers (prior registration requested). The club lists contact details on its website and maintains separate summer (outdoor) and winter (indoor) locations in St. Wendel.

Expect hands-on track time mixing 1:10 on‑road tourenwagen and RC drifters and a club atmosphere with coaches and live timing.
