The Traxxas TORC Series - The Off Road Championship, is the fastest, most punishing short course racing series on the planet. TORC events are packed with flag-to-flag fender banging as drivers push the limits over whoop and jump filled natural terrain racetracks. Off-road racing fans come from far and wide to experience this most challenging form of high-octane competition and once they taste TORC for the first time they'll be hooked for life.

TORC vision

Initially, TORC was the brainchild of a group of pro drivers with one goal: unification of the various off-road racing entities across the U.S., and create the highest standard of competition. Once the creative juices began to flow between Ricky Johnson, drivers, fans and sponsors alike it wasn't too long before the need for an entirely new racing series became obvious: The Traxxas TORC Series.

With unparalleled action, TORC bridges the gap between extreme sports, traditional racing and even mixed martial arts. The series has an "edge" not found in other forms of racing focused on a younger fan base versus more traditional motorsports. TORC utilizes a variety of short-tracks and larger outdoor motocross-inspired courses with a different look, a different feel, and more genuine "Kick-Ass" racing action!
