Who Holds the World Record for Fastest RC Car?

Fastest RC Car in the World

Remote-controlled (RC) cars are miniature vehicles that are operated with a handheld controller. For many people, racing RC cars is a fun and exciting hobby. But for some, it’s a serious competition where they seek to break world records.

In the world of RC car racing, one of the most impressive records is for the fastest speed achieved by an RC car. The current record is held by Lamberto Collari, an Italian professional radio-controlled car racer and multiple-time IFMAR World Champion. On October 28th 2018, he set the world record for fastest speed achieved by an RC car, reaching a top speed of 242 mph (389 km/h).

The car used in this incredible feat was designed and built specifically for this attempt at setting a new world record. It was equipped with two powerful electric motors that produced an impressive 5 horsepower each — enough to propel the vehicle to speeds that exceed 200 mph. The body of the car was made from lightweight carbon fibre construction for maximum stability at high speeds, and it also featured adjustable suspension settings to ensure maximum grip on different surfaces.

Collari’s record-breaking attempt took place at the Automotodrom Grobnik racetrack in Croatia. Prior to his attempt, there had been several attempts made by other racers over the years but none had succeeded in achieving speeds higher than 218 mph (350 km/h). However, Collari managed to surpass this record and set a new one with his incredible 242 mph run.

Breaking this world record is no easy feat; it requires skill, dedication and courage. Collari has proven himself to be one of the best in the world when it comes to driving remote-controlled cars at ridiculously high speeds — something that few people would even attempt let alone achieve successfully!

Conclusion: Lamberto Collari currently holds the world record for fastest RC car after setting a top speed of 242 mph (389 km/h) on October 28th 2018 at Automotodrom Grobnik racetrack in Croatia. His remarkable feat required skill, dedication and courage – traits which make him one of the best remote-control drivers in the world!
