HISTORY – ENG

History of the A.S.D. Club Automodellistico 5 Colli starts from afar. Born in 2000 from the idea of a group of local enthusiasts, it began to take its first steps in the world of RC car models at the beginning of the new millennium, involving entire RC racers families.

In 2002 the turning point: the Municipality of Gubbio, owner of the Miniautodromo Mario Rosati, entrusted the management of the facility to the Club. Thus began a first period of tiring apprenticeship for the newborn Club: the track was modernized and resurfaced.

The efforts are soon repaid: the national competitions arrive already in 2004, in 2006 the first international competition. The national federation AMSCI begins to rely on the Gubbio Club, starting a lasting and stable relationship of collaboration. The main brands begin to support the Club by the organization of sponsored events in Gubbio which attract model makers from all over Italy.

2009. The First EFRA European Championship arrives. A unique success: the 5 Colli Automodellistico Club enters the modeling elite by organizing a perfect event, with attention to every detail. European Circus that returns to Gubbio in 2013. The success of the event ignites an idea. Club Automodellistico 5 Colli Club will be a candidate to host the 2016 World Championship for the 1/10 section.

Zagreb, November 1, 2013. The dream comes true. During the assembly of the European radio modeling federation EFRA, Gubbio track defeated the competition of all the other tracks candidates to host the world championship.

2016. The World Championship is a success. “The best world championship of the last 20 years” according to the World Federation. After 2 years of hard work, 2 years of endless plant updating works, the members of the association realize that that dream has come true, going beyond all the wildest expectations.

The Club does not rest on its laurels: the track is resurfaced, slight changes are made to make the experience even more engaging for enthusiasts.

Again, efforts are rewarded: only the pandemic slows down enthusiasm, but makes possible the incredible opportunity to host a second World Championship.

2022. After the reorganization of events due to the pandemic, Gubbio and its Club are once again on the top of the World and Europe.
