Brief reflections from this week's memorable IFMAR 10TH Offroad World Championships hosted by Hills Off-road RC in Sydney, Australia. Raw audio recorded from the road trip home. Enjoy!

Australia's Lachlan Donnelly has marked himself as one to watch at the 2025 IFMAR Worlds, sweeping both classes at the Warmup back in April. The local 21-year old Team Associated driver will go up against the world's best from late September at Hills Offroad RC. Lachlan joined Mitchell Pratt and I for a chat about all things leading toward the World Championships. Watch the full show on Facebook or YouTube by searching for MItch on the Mic. Big thanks to Mitch for the audio used here.
We caught up with Team Cayote co-founder Oscar Jansen during the 2025 Worlds Warmup at Hills Offroad in Sydney, Australia. Oscar is a fascinating, thoughtful character, and he's been around our industry for a long time. We chatted about some of his own history, the Cayote project, and how he thinks the 2025 IFMAR Worlds will shake up. Big thanks to RC Race Media for the audio in this episode.
Schumacher's Tris Neale was at Hills Offroad RC in Sydney, Australia, for the 2025 IFMAR Worlds Warmup event - ahead of the action World Championships later this year. Tris joined me for a chat on the RC Race Media coverage of the event during the lunch-break on 4wd day. We talked engineering, psychology, race-team management, setup priorities and more. It's a fascinating chat. Big thanks to Tris for his insights, and RC Race Media for the audio.

The word "Legend" is sometimes over-used...but not in the case of today's guest. One of the UK's all-time greats, widely respected, many Euro and UK Championship wins, a Reedy Race or two, and very nearly a Worlds. Craig's life-long loyalty to Team Associated continues today in his role as head of sales for the company in Europe and he has some interesting thoughts on the current team, and some confessions from yesteryear. There are so many great stories from across his career in this conversation and some fascinating insights into the current and future state of RC. I hope you enjoy as much as I did. We'd love to hear your feedback along the way.

Chris Sturdy has won a ridiculous number of races, including 10 Australian Championships in EP Offroad - marking him as one of the winning-est drivers in Aus RC history - and he's still in his prime. In this conversation, we go deep into the mindset that it takes for Chris to win. There's all the usual exploring of his history, partnership with his dad Gary, a look at the upcoming Worlds from Chris's perspective, and a host more good gear. But it's the stuff about mindset, about confidence, about leaving no stone unturned that is most fascinating. I hope you enjoy!

He stood on the Worlds podium twice, took Tamiya on the road to a serious assault on the racing scene, won a European Championship in the Schumacher TopCat, helped bring UK racing to the World Stage in the halcyon days of the mid-late 1980s and worked in the industry with name such as HPI, LRP, HongNor and now runs SMD Distribution. He is, of course, the one and only Jamie Booth. Enjoy!

Double World Champ Jared Tebo is back on the show as we continue our extended conversation. This time around we're talking about those two IFMAR World Championship wins in 1/10 offroad, the UK Neo race he came to dominate, and some of the parts of Jared's life that make him who he is. You'll hear an astonishing story about the level of preparation involved for Jared in getting ready for a Worlds campaign, and I also do my best to convince him to saddle up one more time for the 2023 1/10 Off-road Worlds. We wrap up part 2 of this chat with the "what next" question: what does the remainder of 2023 hold, after Jared's retirement announcement? Don't forget to check back on the previous episode the catch the rest of Jared's story. Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoy the show.
