As of March 10 2012 Virtual RC Racing v3 has been discontinued. It is no longer possible to create new accounts and purchase products in the VRC v3 webshop.
Current users can continue to use VRC v3 as a stand-alone service. There will be no more events organized for VRC v3. Daily challenges and dual player mode will be discontinued as well. Active VRC v3 racers can upgrade their v3 account to a VRC pro account.
In the past over 230.000 r/c racers signed up for VRC v3 and have enjoyed numerous hours of r/c racing excitement with v3. With VRC Pro we now offer a complete new platform for r/c racers with electric and nitro on-road classes and soon also off-road classes. We hope you understand that it is impossible for us to continue to support 2 platforms and need to focus all our energy and resources on VRC Pro now.
