A resident of south Northamptonshire has taken on the monumental challenge of hosting an RC car championship attracting 430 drivers from all over the world. Brett Castle has now opened up this invite to locals who may wish to come and watch too.
The British Off Road Grand Prix (MKGP 2026) is one of the largest indoor radio-controlled (RC) car racing events in the UK, bringing together 430 competitors for three days of high-energy competition held inside a live shopping centre environment. This event attracts top drivers travelling from all over the world.
Staged in Middleton Hall at Centre:MK, the event transforms a retail space into a professional RC racing arena, offering shoppers and visitors a free, family-friendly motorsport spectacle. These 1/10 scale electric off-road RC vehicles are high speed and entertaining to watch.

The event will be on all day on Friday February 6, Saturday February 7 and Sunday February 8.
