Sheffield Off-Road And Rally Club, Hillsborough, Sheffield
Get ready for a special day of RC racing as we celebrate SOAR RC's championship season and pay tribute to a much-missed member with The Jacob Wood Memorial Race. This event is a fantastic opportunity to come together, honour Jacob’s legacy, and enjoy a day of competitive and exciting racing.
Special Prizes and Trophies
Thanks to generous donations from club members, SOAR have secured a prize fund in the form of model shop vouchers, with all profits from the event being donated to charities chosen by Jacob’s family.
In addition to the standard trophies for the top three racers, the Jacob Wood Trophy will be awarded to the Short Course Truck series winner, who will keep it until the summer series champion is crowned. This ongoing tribute is a fitting way to remember Jacob’s impact on the Sheffield Off Road & Rally RC Club (SOAR) and the wider RC community.
We hope to see as many racers as possible on the grid for this special tribute event. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or new to the sport, come along and be part of a fantastic day of racing in memory of Jacob Wood.
Please help spread the word and let’s make this an event to remember!
Event Format
The race day will consist of four rounds of qualifying heats followed by two thrilling final rounds. For Short Course Truck racers, Jacob’s favourite class, we will be running a special event with a two-leg final to cap off the day in his honour.
