#### I popped up to Zeer Rangsit, possibly the largest specific IT Mall in the world, on Sunday to pick up a new power adaptor for my ancient HP G3 Elite and just happened to chance upon the 2020 Thailand International RC Drift Competition!

Radio controlled drift cars, whatever will they think of next?! This is a competition, held annually and looked like quite a big deal for the RC Drfit car community judging by the fact that there were competitors from 10 countries in attendence. There is even a Russian flag up there but we don't do sanctions in Thailand! It might not have gone down too well if I'd found the Russian competitors car and 'seized' it!

It seems RC Drift racing started in Japan and spread throughtout the world and whilst remaining quite a niche hobby, has a loyal and passionate following.

I think the main competition had finished by the time arrived yesterday evening but there still some 'players' running their cars around the practise circuit but I did think it was all rather slow to be honest. I've seen RC car racing before and its all rush and crash and this was aa rather more pedestrian with added skill I suppose but I did love the models of course.

The whole event looked extremely very organised and very professional with a lot of AV tech on display which as it turned out was because they were showing many of the classes on some obscure Thai TV channel.

The cars themselves were mainly models of Japanese cars and were 1/14 scale. I am sure everyone knows Tamiya and they were one of the sponsors of the event and also have a brilliant model shop at this mall. I've no idea how much these cars cost but no doubt don't come cheap. Lots of spares and tuning accessories were on sale at the event as well as 'merch' and prizes and raffles from the sponsors.

#### I have to say, I love this sort of shit! and wish I;d been up for the main racing and been able to spend some more time there getting to learn about the cars and classes. I did hear them say that next year's event was being held in Indonesia, so I won't be in attendence but there is another RC Racing event coming up in the New Year, this time it's the turn of the RC Touring cars and they have their own dedicated circuit!

***Check out both groups' FB pages and give them a like.***

[Thailand International R/C Touring Car Championship](https://www.facebook.com/TITC.Thailand/)
[TDC / Thailand International R/C Drift Competition](https://www.facebook.com/TDCcompetition/)

#### Just a thought. Don't you think this is the sort of thing Hive could be sponsoring. Perhaps I could enquire how much it would cost and maybe get a table set up.

> The cars in action. Sorry about the 'speed' blur. It wasn't that fast. Just a crap phone!

Come on, man. You do your phone so much injustice. I’ve seen you take some great shots with this. Remember the street photography I said I’d use for my wallpapers? That was this phone wasn’t it? And those were awesome shots, might I add.

Those are very tiny cars. I thought they were those really fast cars that threw people to the ground with the wind following their passing. I don’t know much about cars and racing, but I’m sure this would be a fun watch. 

The caption of the last photo is hilarious.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

That does look pretty awesome. I have always had a soft spot for RC cars. Having an actual track to which round would be cool AF! Instead of childhood rattling around on lumpy tarmac 🀣🀣

It was really cool, obviously I was itching to have a play but it was never going to happen...I then spent 30 minutes browsing the Tamiya shop making lists in my head!

Those sound like the good kind of lists. 

I would have been itching for a play as well, just one circuit would have been amazing!

Has this mall been around for long? I don't think I ever heard of it ... I knew about MBK and Fortune but this place is new maybe!

It's been here for many, many years.  It's up in Rangsit, right at the side of  the main road out of town North about two miles after Don Mueang on the same side of the road.

Four floors of IT and tech with a few music shops thrown into the mix. It's a huge place. Well worth a visit.
