About AMCA
Since 1980 the club for RC car racing in Apeldoorn, with its own asphalt circuit at Kanaal Zuid.
The circuit
AMCA has a circuit where all RC on-road cars can drive, whatever their scale or class, as long as they meet the noise requirements.
The track is about 5 metres wide and surrounded by plenty of grass, so damage to cars is kept to a minimum. That makes the circuit very accessible to every driver: young or old, experienced or not.
The track is about 243 metres long and has several timing loops. Sector and lap times are stored automatically and can be reviewed after driving, on our own practice computer or in an app. You can use our free Wi-Fi for this; you do need a transponder.

History
AMCA stands for Auto Modelbouw Club Apeldoorn (Apeldoorn Model Car Club). The club was founded many years ago by a group of keen RC drivers who dreamed of a place of their own and a proper circuit.
After years of lobbying the municipality and local businesses, the plans slowly got off the ground and construction began. Once the trees had been cleared and many cubic metres of soil and rubble moved, a level site remained where the asphalt track could be laid. In the years that followed, AMCA grew into the circuit it is today. To us, the finest in Europe!
None of this would have been possible without the perseverance of countless volunteers and sponsors, in every possible way. A few names that spring to mind: AMCA's founding father Ben Veeneman, John Langen and, for example, the entire Gerritsen family.
We can't list everyone from the past who has been important to the club – we would need a second website for that. But on behalf of today's volunteers and members: thank you for all the work, blood, sweat and tears (hopefully tears of laughter too) that went into it.
Thank you all!
