Asian Nitro Championship

15/03/2020

These are unprecedented times we have in the World with the threat and precautions being taken for the virus. As we watched countries around the World implement safety precautions regarding travel and quarantine, we were hopeful that Australia would be ok but that is not the case. Last night my time here in the US, Australia implemented a quarantine for international travelers much like New Zealand did yesterday. This unfortunately leaves us no options but to cancel the ANC Brisbane next month. Our goal was to push ahead and have the event until this final decision of the quarantine gave us no options. All of us on the ANC team sends our apologies to everyone who has made plans to join us. I spoke to Kenji just a few moments ago and he also sends is sincerely apologies to everyone as he was with me to push forward and host the event but agrees we can no longer do it.
Our plans are to move on for a 2020-2021 season with our goal to open the new season in October in Taiwan. We will keep everyone fully up to speed on things as the chaos subsides over the coming months and we can move forward with life and a new season. We all thank you for your patience and understanding on this very difficult time in the World and hope everyone remains safe.

Thank you for your understanding,
Scotty and the ANC Team.

After last years amazing ANC event at England Park Raceway we are very excited to be bringing the show back to this amazing venue. With them hosting the World Championships this year, we expect an excellent turnout. For those who are planning on attending, please do not wait to make your entry as the plan is to close entries once all the available pit spaces are filled. We will not be hiring extra tents or making any extra pit space after the existing spots fill up. So make sure to make your entries soon.

The ANC is a series that is based in Asia and as we all know, Asia is having some difficult times with the virus. So after many discussions with my team, we have decided to only run 1 Round of the ANC this season and it will be at England Park. This is not what we want to do but we feel this is the best decision at this time moving forward. I am confident that throughout the coming months, everything will settle down and we can look forward to next season. The plan will be to start the 2020-2021 season in October this year and run it through May or June of 2021. I will have the locations of the new season locked in well in advance to allow everyone ample time to make plans. I hope everyone understands our decision and we look forward to seeing many of the ANC family in Australia April 2-5 2020.

Thanks,

Scotty

ANC 2019 Japan - Thank You Japan! See You in 2020!

The Infinity International RC Speedway is a masterpiece of a track and it was the perfect setting for the season finale of the first year of the Asian Nitro Championships. This weekend’s event is a perfect representation of what hard work and a vision of what a great race weekend and overall a great racing season should be. The ANC is a series by racers for racers and we strive to provide a positive racing environment where competitiveness, fairness and fun is at the top of our list. A huge thank you to Infinity as It was a great honor for the Asian Nitro Championships to christen their new track, which is destined to become one of the greats in the world RC scene. After 38.5 hours of racing and almost 8,000 laps ran this weekend, we can honestly say that ANC Japan went off without a hitch. The rain gods tried to dampen our weekend, but with positive thinking and a bit of no-rain dances, we were able to run a full schedule of racing. The Asian Nitro Championships would once again like to thank our title sponsor; Infinity for the awesome support as well as primary sponsors SMJ, Serpent, Shepherd, Sweep, Hot Race, Arrowmax and Matrix for their continued support. Join ANC for the 2020 season where we will be adding another stop for a total of four races. All info for future events can be found on our ANC’s Facebook and at our website, www.asiannitrochamps.com. Thank you to all our host tracks and to all the racers that participated!

ANC 2019 Japan - Thanks for the Great Season Sponsors!

Words can’t express how much the support of our sponsors, especially in this inaugural year of the Asian Nitro Championships means to the ANC. It’s the support of sponsors that brings life to the event, which makes feels racers feel pride in the brands that they’re running as well as seeing that brand out in force supporting an event they’re racing at. Infinity really stepped it up at ANC Japan to finish off the season with a bang. With the support of the track crew at Infinity International RC Raceway, ANC Japan really went off without a glitch. ANC would like to thank our title sponsor Infinity, who without their support, the Asian Nitro Championships Series would not be possible.
