ABOUT US
We welcome you to our new platform and introduce you to our concept.
Here you will find information about current events, regulations, race dates, categories and current rankings.
You’re on the new platform, which is the successor to the well-known Mc Best Power Hobby Cup.
It’s time to try something new. Here we are.
We have three very important changes to share with you in advance:
1. a new class is introduced. 1:8 GTE
2. there are “only” two race weekends in the first year.
3. new engine regulations apply to the V10 combustion engine class.
WE INTRODUCE OURSELVES
Behind every racing series is a dedicated team. Get to know the people who make the Cup possible with passion and dedication!
OUR GOALS
More action, more community, more racing! We are doing everything we can to take RC racing to the next level
- Meet like-minded people who enjoy the hobby.
- Harmonized racing series with material that is as similar as possible.
- Cost-effective driving thanks to standard motors (more gentle on tires).
- Motivate beginners and those returning to riding.
- Giving 1:8 GTE drivers the opportunity to race.
- Simple and clearly structured regulations.
THE HISTORY OF THE CUP
What began as a vision became a racing series! Find out how the Cup came about and the milestones that shaped it.
The Mc Best Power Hobby Cup was launched back in 2008 by Beat Stadler. In the first race in Wallisellen, 17 1:8 and 6 1:10 pilots were at the start. Further races took place in Brugg, Sitterdorf and Oey Diemtigen. In the following years, the Cup was extremely successful. At times, there were more pilots at the start than in the official Swiss championship. In 2016, Beat Stadler handed over the baton to a successor. From then on, the cup was called the SRC. The concept did not work as hoped. Beat brought the cup back and ran the Mc Best Cup again from 2017 until the end of 2020. After the pandemic, the entire RC world slowed down considerably. In 2021-2024, the Cup was organized by the KEG team. Unfortunately, not a single race could be held in 2024 due to a lack of participants.
DATES
The plan for the future – Together with a strong number of participants, we are optimizing the Cup step by step!
It would have been sensible and interesting to hold the Cup dates approx. 2 weeks before the SM. The pilots could have worked out the setup for the upcoming SM at the Cup. However, reality showed that once the SM had been fixed and the ENS dates announced, such planning was impossible. Some of the 1:5 drivers would also like to drive 1.8 GTE. What’s more, not all slope operators can be confronted with an additional event due to a lack of resources. That’s why we have two fixed dates at the moment. That’s a bit of a shame, but it doesn’t matter. Quite the opposite. The year 2025 should serve as an experience and exchange year for us in order to be able to hold a season with approx. 4-5 race weekends in 2026. We are very much hoping for a high number of participants who will also support us with any adaptation ideas.
