The Fastest Race in Offshore Model Racing History
The event

On the 24th-25th July 2021 OMRA ran a special chase boat race at West Bay, Dorset. This was the first time a true fixed distance record attempt challenge was held and validated by the UIM. Drivers had one attempt on Saturday and another on Sunday. The records are held within each running class. OMRA hosts events at both West Bay and Weymouth, Dorset.

GPS marker buoys are used to plot a 10km straight line course heading west along the coast. 5km west and 5km back east.
