Tamiya Championship Series National Finals 2023 Winners!

The 2023 Tamiya Championship Series radio control car racing season has concluded! After a short hiatus, due to the worldwide pandemic pause, the long running Tamiya radio control car racing promotional event once again took place. This year’s National FINALS was again hosted by Hobbytown-Hobbyplex in Omaha, Nebraska and the master of ceremonies was none other than announcing legend, and the 1996 TCS GT National 4WD Champion, Scotty Ernst! The racing action was competitive and nerve racking! Battles took place. Nerves were tested. Set up choices were made. In the end all had fun. That fun was thanks to the announcing talents of Scotty and the smooth organization by Tim Ski, and Tony K, which made the event fun and smooth for all!

Without further delay, we present you all the winners from the eight classes run at this year’s FINALS, including the three winners from GT-2, M-Chassis, and GT-Pro-Spec whose next stop is Shizuoka, Japan where the Tamiya World Championships will be held in November! Congratulations to all! See you in 2024!
