In 2024, EFRA, the European Federation of Radio Controlled Cars, has chosen to have a single tire for all participants in the European 40+ Championship from the 2024 season onwards.
Thanks to this approach, it will be easier to travel for the race, and the tires will also be available locally, making it easier for participants to set up their cars.
After a call for suppliers and a study to adapt the tires to the track conditions, the Matrix Nebula soft compound tire was chosen as the best tire for the track conditions.
The Euro will take place on the Welden track in Germany, from August 30 to September 1, 2024.
Of course, these tires are already available and in stock on our site, in 2 versions:
