NORC raceway

NORC raceway is situated just outside bishop auckland (county durham) and caters for 1/8th scale rallycross and truggy racing, the track runs the latest amb timing gear and has onsite toilets and refreshments on racedays, with a full race calendar norc is fast becoming one of the top tracks in the country.

The club was formed in March 2007 and soon after land was secured just outside bishop auckland to build the norc raceway. The layout was designed and work commenced, three months past and with some serious work the norc raceway was born. The track surface is a mixture of astro turf and brickwork and provides an excellent all year round racing surface for beginers and seasoned racers. We have a full size rostrum, raised pit lane, the latest digital timing gear and plenty of parking space that will accomodate camping if needed. We are just about to complete our second summer series and have this year hosted a round of the BRCA truggy nationals with great success, other themed events this summer was the very successful budweiser challenge with a xray 808 raffled off and won by one of our junior members. The track is now open everyday for practice with details of how this works puplished on our forum.

Drivers off all abilities are encouraged to come down to the track and get involved. Now in our second year the track has undergone some slight changes and modifications and has gone form strength to strength. We are affiliated to the British Radio Car Club and through our committee the club is run to a set of rules and guidlines that greatly emphasises safety and havin a fun days racing.
