Young drivers on the HFCC drivers' stand

Youth RC driving lessons at HFCC

Do you want to race outside on a real RC circuit?
Have you ever driven an RC car or raced in a game? If you enjoyed that, you will love this. On our circuit, RC cars can reach more than 80 km/h.

Curious? Come and have a look. We are easy to reach by bicycle and tram, and if your parents come along they can park nearby. We are right behind McDonald's.

What will we do?

HFCC uses a youth lesson programme, which you can find below. We focus on:

  • Learning to drive together with others
  • Small races
  • Setting up your own car
  • Learning technology that may even surprise your parents
  • Working together in the paddock like a real race team
  • Discovering the forces that affect driving and racing

That is what we call having fun racing.

Our experienced coaches have many years in RC racing and help young drivers build skill and confidence step by step.

Something else you may want to know...

My child wants to take lessons. What should I do?

  1. Contact us via WhatsApp or, even better, visit HFCC on Saturday morning between 11:00 and 13:00.
  2. Arrange a date for a trial lesson to see if RC racing is really something your child enjoys. Do they like it? Then we can take the next step!
  3. Decide whether you want to buy or rent a training car. Buying becomes more economical after approximately 15 weeks of lessons. The advantage is that your child will always drive their own car.
  4. Discuss with the trainer which day and training session your child can join.
  5. Become a member (sign up for a “Youth Lessons” membership). Tip! When registering, you can also order a club key if you want to use the track outside lesson hours.
  6. As a parent, register for the lesson calendar. Here you can indicate when your child will or will not attend and avoid a session unexpectedly being full.
