The Pilot race of the ATS, supported by Yokomo, will be held on the 18th – 20th of November 2011 at the world famous Yatabe Arena. The most historic racing facility in our industry, it is an honor to have our Pilot race at this superb facility and having just undergone a huge renovation it is now an even bigger and more amazing place than it was before, with the ATS Pilot race being the first major international race to be held at renewed venue.
This event will not just serve as the ATS pilot but will utilize all aspects of the new Yatabe. We will also be running an Off Road event simultaneously at the indoor clay track as well as a Drift competition, the Arena becoming a mecca for rc during this weekend with something for everyone.
