The WiRa Home Track is Ready to Race! At the start of 2020 we had big plans to launch our remote racing league... Who would have known that at the very same time the entire world would be hit by a catastrophic pandemic causing crippling lock-downs; resulting in a halt to our Roadmap.

We are working on an interface which will allow connection of conventional RC controllers to drive the car, as the Keyboard method (which is the most widely supported) only has full lock - perfect for testing, not so much in a real-race environment.

There will also be an update to the interface, which allows full-screen mode and lots of cool statistics such as a Speedometer and remaining power ba ...
