Apeldoorn INFO PACKAGE RD1 Season #19 2026/27

We have just brought ETS Season #18 to an end, but it is already time to prepare the next one. Season #19 is just around the corner and we will kick it off at AMCA Apeldoorn in the Netherlands like in the years before. The club has put in a lot of work and effort to further improve their amazing facility and we are already looking forward to when the cars will hit the AMCA track at the end of May 2026.

Entry Process

We will open the entries on MyRCM on Tuesday 7 April 2026 at 20:00 CET.
The limit of entries is set to 320, all other entries will be on waiting list.
Our entry fee for Season #19 is 75€ per class and is NOT including a set of tires.
“We have changed this to make our book keeping more easy and efficient. In the same moment, the entry fee has increased by 10€. This increase was unavoidable for us, as we too are affected by steadily rising costs across all areas. Nevertheless, we have kept the increase as small as possible!”
The registration fee must be paid into the bank account specified on MyRCM by 28 April; this gives you a three-week deadline. You can also pay with Paypal now directly via MyRCM.
A fee of 10€ must be paid to the AMCA Apeldoorn club on Thursday.
“We know that we are already doing seeding practice on Thursday, but the 10€ fee is mandatory for all clubs working with us and can therefore not get included into the entry fee.”

Practice Tires

With the start of ETS Season #19 2026/27, racers MUST pay and take the practice tires which they have pre-ordered during the entry process. It has become “state of the art” that many racers are pre-ordering practice tires to just notice (at the event) that they don`t need them.

We need to get on top of this now. Please make yourself comfortable with the new rule and pre-order only what you want to buy. The maximum quantity of practice tires racers can pre-order is 4 sets per class (which is enough).

“We will publish further information regarding payment for the practice tires, which should also be done prior to the event. This will also simplify the process of collecting the tires at the track, as everything is much easier when the tyres have already been paid for in advance!“

Rule Changes

FlySky Frontwheel

From the start of Season #19, FWD racers are allowed to use TWO sets of Ride (RI-36086) race tires instead of only one. The race tires must to be in use with the start of the first round of qualifying. In practice and seeding, racers can run their practice tires however they want to do it.
It is also allowed to use the race tires in a seeding round, it just depends on the time we are able to hand out the race tires. We will take care that it will be the same for everybody!

Only the Hobbywing Xerun XR10 Justock G3S V2 speed controller is allowed to use. The ESC will be available soon – further infos to follow. We will have enough rental ESC`s in Apeldoorn to make sure that everybody will be able to use it!

Matrix Formula

There are also some changes coming to the Matrix Formula class. Following extensive discussions, it was decided that we need to slow the cars down slightly.

Therefore, with immediate effect, we will be using the Hobbywing Xerun V10 G4R (2-3s) Sensored Brushless Motor 21.5T (the same one we use in the 40+ Masters and 21.5 Stock classes). The ESC remains the same, but will now be operated in Blinky Mode (no more RPM limiter).

We have also decided to allow all cars which are officially available on the market (for example Exotek, CRC, Xray, Schumacher, Tamiya…) as long as they are having the rough chassis shape and the look of an F1 car. If something totally awkward will be running on track, we still reserve the right to ban the car. Please, do not build some unnecessary outlaw prototypes…

Monday before the race in Apeldoorn

Some important information regarding the Monday before the ETS in Apeldoorn. This Monday (25 May 2026) is a public holiday in many European countries (Whit Monday).

Normally, the track is always closed from Monday to Wednesday prior to an ETS. We will continue to follow this practice in future.

However, due to the public holiday, AMCA Apeldoorn has decided to open its doors and allow EVERYONE who wishes to come to practice. This will NOT be a special practice day for 1:10 electric cars. If you are travelling to Apeldoorn on this day, please be aware that other scales (1:8, Nitro cars, electric cars) will also be on the track. It is a practice day like any other. This day is very important for the club, which is why the track is officially open! It is a decision of the club which we need to respect.

The track is CLOSED on TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY before the ETS…!!!

ETS YOUNG TALENTS – Interview with David Reip

ETS: Welcome to the ETS family. It was only a matter of time, wasn’t it?

David: Of course, for me, the ETS is the most prestigious racing series in the world.

ETS: Can you still remember your first RC car and how you got into your first race?

David: My first RC car was a Tamiya Mini-Fighter. I think I got it when I was 4 or 5 years old. At first, I just drove it on the road. When I was 6, I took part in my first race at my big brother’s school, but by then I was already driving a Tamiya DT-02.

What has been the most difficult moment of your RC career so far?

My toughest moment so far was probably the 2025 EFRA European Championships, where I had two radio dropouts out of the blue and my car crashed into the wall at full throttle. I was already facing quite a few challenges with the conditions during that race, and the radio dropouts made the situation even more difficult. Nevertheless, I was able to take a lot away from that race and gained valuable experience.

We’ve known each other for a few days now. So why don’t you tell us a bit about your journey from the Tamiya Fighter Cup to the ETS

Until 1.5 years ago, I only raced in the Tamiya Cup and even there I had my struggles with the cars, as I still knew very little about any car beyond the Tamiya Fighter Buggy. Fortunately, two good friends from Holland, Maarten Wouters and André Heskamp, who also travelled to the Tamiya Cup once a year, invited me to drive their car at a TOS race in Augsburg. After this test race, I got my own touring car for Christmas. About three weeks later, I competed in the ETS in Daun, where I managed to finish in 7th place straight away. After that, things went from strength to strength and I competed in more and more races.

The commitment shown by the Anna Schmidt School is quite exceptional. We should all hope that other schools follow their example. However, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to secure support from manufacturers or retailers. What do you think about that?

I think what the Anna Schmidt School set up many years ago is a prime example of how the hobby can be introduced to people in a positive way. The commitment came not only from the children, but particularly from the parents as well. The competition has always led to very close but fair battles on the track at the school and to excellent results for the school in the Tamiya Fighter Cup. With the help of the model shop “MZ-Modellbau”, the club has always been able to welcome new pupils and get them excited about the hobby. It was a very good concept, but one that can only be sustained with the parents’ commitment.

Do you spend a lot of time working on the setup, or are you more the type who says, “more driving than tinkering”?

These days, I do give a lot of thought to the car’s handling and setup, even whilst I’m driving. Fortunately, though, I’m surrounded by lots of experienced and helpful people who give me a hand when I’m stuck.

What do you get up to when you’re not racing at the weekends? Do you have any other hobbies?

Outside of RC racing, I’m quite busy with school. I’m sitting my A-levels next year. I also go to the gym and play the drums. Otherwise, I spend a lot of time out and about with my friends.

Do you have a favourite race track? If so, tell us a bit about it and why you prefer it?

When it comes to choosing a favourite track, I’m torn between Apeldoorn and Luxembourg. For me, those two tracks are the best I’ve raced on so far and the ones I’ve enjoyed the most. I think Apeldoorn is just a little bit higher up the list because I’ve had so many positive and negative experiences there, from which I’ve learnt a great deal and been able to develop as a result. I’ll be racing and training on a few other tracks in 2026. We’ll see if those two tracks can hold their position.

Do you have a favourite driver or role model in RC car racing? You can select more than one answer.

My biggest RC role model is Ronald Völker. Ever since I’ve been part of the ETS scene, Ronald has made a lasting impression on me as a role model, because for me there are very few drivers who put as much work into their success as he does. I admire that greatly and it also drives me to stay on the ball and be consistent. I also really like his manner, as I get on very well with him on a personal level and always come away from conversations with him with a smile. In second place for me is Simon Lauter. He has followed a similar path to the one I’m currently on. He also started out in the Tamiya Cup, and he too demonstrates what is possible in this sport with hard work, consistency and experience. Max Mächler is also a great role model, as he always comes across as very professional and works extremely hard for success.

Congratulations on your victory in Race Truck and second place in the Euro-TW class at the 2025 Tamiya Euro-Cup Germany Final in Neustadt.

Thank you very much.

A simple question. Why do you race in the ETS now?

I race in the ETS because, for me, it’s the strongest competition with the highest calibre of international drivers. What’s more, since my first ETS race, I’ve had the chance to meet so many people who have since become really good friends, and I’m always delighted to see them whenever I do.

Does the experience you’ve gained from the ETS carry over to the TEC races, or would you say they’re two completely different things?

The experience I’ve gained from the ETS over the last year applies to every car and every racing class. I now have a much better understanding of Tamiya cars in particular and actually have no trouble at all setting them up. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to compete in any TEC races this year, as the final round clashes with the EFRA European Championship in Luxembourg. But I’m looking forward to making up for it next year.

You’re now part of Ryan Maker’s team. Tell us a bit about the team and how you’re working together.

My time with Team RC Maker has gone very well so far. Having direct contact with the car’s developer and designer is a huge advantage and will play an even bigger role in the future. As the team’s first car, the SP1 is making an exceptionally good impression and is already performing at the very highest level. Look forward to the future with RC Maker.

The title is already within reach in my very first ETS season. How does that feel?

The season is going very well. Despite a few difficulties, we’ve managed as a team to develop the car to the point where it can compete for the overall win in the 21.5 class. I didn’t expect to go into the final race of the season as the leader. I’m going into this race feeling very confident and with a lot of momentum, because I saw in Daun, in particular, how things can go when the driver stays focused and minimises mistakes. Nothing has been decided yet, though, and I’ll have to give it my all right up to the final lap to maximise the result.

Rumour has it, like so many young guns, that you’ll be switching classes from season #19 onwards and racing Pro Stock, or perhaps Modified straight away?

That’s right, from next season I’ll be focusing on the Pro Stock class and also competing in the FWD class in the ETS. I’ll also be taking part in every race I can to gain as much experience as possible.

What are your personal goals for the next few years in RC racing?

I haven’t set myself any specific goals for 2026. The only thing I demand of myself is that I approach every race with good preparation and a positive attitude. Of course, the results are important to me, but I still have a long way to go, full of learning and experience, before I reach the point where that becomes relevant.

Practice Tire Update for Season #19

ETS offers racing drivers the chance to pre-order tires for the race, which can then be collected directly at the track. What a great service…!

In the past, we have been a bit lazy when someone decided to not pick up the pre-ordered tire sets. From now on, we need to change this due to economical and logistical reasons.

TIME FOR A CHANGE

Racers MUST take the amount of pre-ordered tires sets at the event. We will send an invoice for the amount of pre-ordered practice tires at least 3-4 weeks before the race and drivers will only receive their tires trackside once they are paid in advance!

The standard procedure of placing the basic entry for the race will stay the same! We just want to alert everybody about this change for ETS Season #19 and we hope for your support and understanding!

5 things we learned from ETS RD5 Season #18 at Arena Nova in Wiener Neustadt, AUT

ETS Season #18 2025/26 has come to an end at Arena Nova in Austria. As always, there had been many highlights throughout the weekend and we will never be able to spot, mention, and highlight all of them in the heat of the action. But as we like to share some things from every event, we have once again put together the “5 things we have learned from ETS RD5 at Arena Nova”…..

1)…100 ETS races are in the books!

ETS celebrates 100 races with huge driver`s dinner, emotiional moments, and some spectacular greetings from all around the world!

ONE HUNDRED…. what a number. Uwe Rheinard and Scotty Ernst have organizes 100 ETS races since the very beginning, 2008 in Kastellaun (GER). Since then, the series has grown and became the most prestigeous and most highlighted competition for electric 1:10 scale onroad racing in the world of RC. The ETS has brought up many amazing racers and champions and brought a lot of joy and fun to thousands of RC racers.

To celebrate this, the ETS crew had organized a little surprise for Scotty and Uwe on Friday evening at Arena Nova. Both had no idea that it was race 100, and during the driver`s dinner they got informed about it from Niki Doppler (town official of Wiener Neustadt), Sascha Klug (1.MRC Wiener Neustadt), and Patrick Beck (ETS Media).

Both had been very surprised and showed some real emotions when a video clip was presented in which many former ETS racers had been sending some greetings and congratulations to them. Another highlight was a limited edition T-Shirt with the name of (amost) all former ETS race winners!

On behalf of the entire ETS family, we would like to once again extend our heartfelt thanks to the core members of the ETS team – Scotty Ernst, Uwe Rheinard, Hartmut Wenzel, Jutta Treder and Malu Prümper. Thank you for 18 seasons and 100 ETS races. Here’s to many more to come…

2)…Champions are crowned!

The ceremony on Sunday was the cream on the cherry as champions received their trophies

Whenever a season comes to an end, we crown our champions. Winning an ETS title is very rewarding as drivers need to fight against the best in the business for a whole season to clinch one of the sic championship trophies. We like to congratulate all racers for their achievements in Season #18 and here are the names and pictures of our overall champions!

Modified: Michal Orlowski (POL) Schumacher | ProStock: Olivier Bultynck (BEL) Awesomatix | FWD: Phil Langner (GER) Awesomatix |40+ Masters: David Ehrbar (GER) Xray |21.5 Stock: Kristian Jensen (DNK) Xray | Formula: David Ehrbar (GER) Xray

3)…Constructors title gains importance!

Awesomatix twins Constructors Championship after hard battle with last year`s champions Xray

At the end of last season, the ETS was giving a trophy for the best constructor away for the first time. It was Xray`s Martin Hudy who was able to celebrate this title with his team. This time, Awesomatix took home the big trophy after Max Mächler received it from Scotty and Uwe after a strong team performance all season long.

Mächler was super happy about the title as it was a lot of work to collect a high numnber of points constantly at each ETS event. We could also hear more and more people talking about the constructor`s chanpionship during the season. The aspect that every drivers top result can count for the teams points is really cool and many Awesomatix racers have collected important points for the overall standngs at the end of the season.

4)…New race winners found!

Anthes, Hudy, Kriz Jun. and Buchhalt celebrating first ever ETS wins at Arena Nova in Wiener Neustadt

We always like to see happy faces of first time ETS winners – and so we did in Wiener Neustadt. A total of FOUR drivers had been able to win for the first time which was simply wonderful.

Jaroslav Kriz Junior was the man of the weekend when he took the TQ and the win with his Xray X4`26 in the Pro Stock class against all of the top drivers – super impressive.

Matheo Buchhalt brought some tears of joy to the IRIS team around Andreas Myrberg when he managed to win the second and third A-Main of the FWD class after a hard and very fair fight with Kevin Schmid (Awesomatix).

Daniel Anthes secured his first ever ETS victory, and also the first one for RC Maker in the 21.5 class after a dominant weekend ahead of newly crowned champion Kristian Jensen (Xray).

Martin Hudy was the fastest racer in the Formula class and won the race with his Xray car from the pole position. Martin Hudy is such a well-known name at the ETS and nobody really knew that he had never won a race before.

Congratulations to all first time winners – you all did an amazing job!

4.1)…One to Watch!

Felix Reiser get`s the award…

The one to watch award for the event was given to young German racer Felix Reiser. He showed some really good progress during the weekend, finished on P48 in 21.5 Stock, and had a lot of fun together with his father Martin Reiser and the Iris team. We know that there had been many more kids who would have deserved this award, but this time it went to young Felix – congratulations youn gun. Felix was not at the trophy ceremony anymore and collected the trophy from the Ruddg headquater on Tuesday after the race. Thanks for the images!

5)…The Ghibli 3.0 is more than a contender – it`s already a winner!

Xtreme or Lens Bodies? What will Modified drivers choose from now on?

In the last 4-5 years, we have only seen Twister Speciale and Twister body shells from Xtreme doing really well in the Modified class. This weekend, the Lens Bodied Ghibli 3.0 had a strong showing with 6 from 11 drivers using the body in the Modified A-Main. The man behind the brand Lens Bodies is Nicola Marrone from the Hot Race Tires factory.

BUY LENS BODIES HERE

His first two Ghibli body shells had been “let`s say average”, but the Ghibli 3.0 seems to be right on the money. For sure, it looks very similar to a Twister, but it has some different lines on teh front hood and in the rear section to seperate it from the Xtreme bodies for sure.

BUY XTREME BODIES HERE

Let`s see which body will have the upper hand when Season #19 will kick off in the Netherlands. Will we see a Twister VS. Ghibli fight in the future?

After handing over this trophy for the first time at the end of last season to Martn Hudy and Team Xray, it was Awesomatix team manager Max Mächler who was receiving the trophy from Uwe Rheinard and Scotty Ernst during the price giving ceremony at Arena Nova in Wiener Neustadt.

Close battle till the end – Xray and Awesomatix with another thrilling battle in Season #18

Awesomatix had a great season with so many amazing results and they had been able to beat Xray by the small margin of 22 points! During the season finale at Arena Nova, Xray and Awesomatix scored 1200 points both and no changes happened anymore in the ranking list. What a fantastic battle it was all season long.

Thirs place for Mugen Seiki without scoring points in FWD class

Mugen Seiki finished the season in third place – where they had been all season long. A good result for the team around Ronald Völker, even when we keep in mind that they never scored any points in the FWD class due to Mugen currently not having a car for this class.

IRIS fourth strongest team in Season #18

The Iris team celebrated their first ever ETS race victory at the season finale when Matheo Buchhalt brought home a hard-fought FWD win ahead of Kevin Schmid. The team scored consistant points throughout the season, especially in FWD, 21.5, and 40+ Masters and P4 overall is a great achievement for Andreas Myrberg and his gang.

Schumacher “best of the rest”

Behind the top four teams, Schumacher, ARC, and RC Maker were landing in the middle of the pack while Infinity, Yokomo, and Serpent found themselfes at the end of the field. Serpent only had Dominic Greiner scoring points, whils YOkomo was a bit better with Christopher Krapp and Frederik Hovgaard delivering at least some good results. Infinity will come back stronger next year for sure as they have not participated in the carpet races this time!
