KO Grand Prix 2025 at Super Rajikon Ōmiya Store – Event Report

2025.6.18 Race report

 

 

On Sunday, June 15, 2025, we held the "KO Grand Prix 2025" at Super Rajikon Saitama Omiya Store. The entry cap of 70 people filled up quickly during pre-registration, and on the day of the event, more than 140 participants gathered in total. With gates opening at 7:30 a.m. and the event running until 9:00 p.m., it was a long day packed with excitement that never waned until the very end.

 

 

The event was packed with the full charm of RC cars, featuring everything from intense, serious battles to unexpected, laugh-out-loud moments.

 

 

Among the highlights, the "Adult Porsche Class" saw nearly 20 cars advance to the finals, delivering an exhilarating and powerful race. Additionally, the popular "Hornet EVO One-Make Race" featured a unique twist with participants controlling their cars from beneath the driver's stand, combined with the harsh rule of "instant elimination upon rollover," resulting in constant cheers and laughter from the crowd.

 

 

While participants took the competition seriously, the friendly and laughter-filled atmosphere truly captured the essence of RC racing. The event was wrapped in a warm, welcoming vibe that reminded everyone of the original purpose—simply to have fun.

 

 

Adding a special touch to this year’s event was the annual catering service provided by the ever-popular Aibatei.

 

 

Not only was lunch provided, but even desserts like cake and iced coffee were served, giving the venue a festive, cheerful atmosphere reminiscent of a celebration.

 

 

 

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous sponsors:

Even after the races concluded, the award ceremony, raffle, and the ever-popular rock-paper-scissors tournament kept the excitement alive right to the very end.

 

 

 

The venue was brought to life by the array of luxurious prizes generously provided by our sponsor companies, creating a joyful and smile-filled moment for everyone.

 

 

 

A high-stakes showdown with a top-tier transmitter on the line was also held!

 

 

 

 

After a fierce battle, it was Yoshida who emerged victorious—congratulations!

 

 

 

This joyful moment, with every participant smiling, was the perfect grand finale to the event, bringing it to a close on a high note.
