Off-Road RC Racing

Small scale, big competition. Watch RC racers battle it out on a purpose-built, competition-level off-road RC track at the FMX Kaos Showgrounds Precinct. It’s fast, technical and surprisingly intense — and a hit with spectators of all ages. There’s even an opportunity to have a crack at racing them yourself.

Skid Row

Less rules. More noise. More burnouts. Skid Row is exactly what it sounds like with entrants launching their machines down a straight track in a quest to determine who can lay the most epic burnout. It’s a slightly lower-stakes, accessible competition compared to the main burnout comp, but just as thrilling for spectators, making it a guaranteed crowd magnet.

Street Drag Racing

Little Tokyo
