The Marine Parade Radio Control Modellers Club (RCMC) was formed in 1980 as a special interest group under the Marine Parade Community Club. Every weekend, its members turn up to practise at the 100 by 60-metre East Coast track built in 1998. The 1.3km long circuit, which is about the size of a football field, comes alive in a cacophony of screeching tires and buzzing RC car engines at speeds of up to 100km per hour. A local race is held every two months, attracting top racers from Europe and Japan. The Straits Times executive photojournalist Kevin Lim captures the sights and sounds of this miniature of Formula One in Singapore.
