2025 Speedyrc RCRA Australian IC GT National Champion
Considering the luck I’ve had at some events this year, and even throughout this one, I honestly didn’t expect to be walking away with the National title. From an excellent start in practice to battling gremlins through qualifying and the semi-finals, the weekend was anything but smooth. But when everything finally came together, I managed to bring home the 2025 SpeedyRC RCRA Australian IC GT National Championship!
When the setup clicked, the Serpent SRX8 GTR was simply a dream to drive. Compared to the SRX8 GT ’23, the new GTR is on a completely different level. The car offered noticeably more on-power and off-power steering, exactly what was needed to tackle the high-camber and technical sections of England Park Raceway. I could stay on throttle longer through the dips, twists, and turns that define corners 1 through 3, a section that can easily make or break your lap. It was genuinely impressive to feel a GT perform with agility somewhat similar to that of a Serpent 990 EVO or any 1/8th on-road car in that part of the track.
