This. It is one of the most important parts of our holiday camp at WLRC.

During the school holidays, children who rely on free school meals lose a regular source of food. The Social Market Foundation warned in 2026 that this gap could affect as many as 2.2 million eligible children in England.

Sharing a meal is not an add-on to our activity. Around one table—with food, friends and RC cars—conversations begin, friendships form and a genuine sense of belonging grows.

That matters for STEM learning too. Research consistently links a stronger sense of belonging with greater engagement and persistence in STEM, leading to higher grades at school and jobs.

Food. Friendship. A place at the table.

Sometimes the moments that look simplest carry the greatest weight.

We are working hard with West London Racing Centre. (WLRC) The home of touring car racing to secure the sites future, and thank Danny Beales for Uxbridge & South Ruislip for his support.

Working together, we'll get this done 👌

**42% of Formula 1’s global fanbase is now female.** But being a fan of motorsport and seeing yourself as someone who might build, engineer or race a car are still very different things.

One 14-year-old arrived at our Hillingdon summer camp today having never tried RC racing before.

She was bored in the holidays. Her older brother went looking for something she might enjoy and spotted RC Vision because he knew she loved F1 and cars.

She arrived a little unsure.

Then she drove.

And when we started talking about what else she could do here, it wasn’t gaming or another activity that caught her attention. It was the possibility of building a car herself.

“The engineering side, the mechanical engineering side of it.”

That is part of what makes RC racing such an interesting gateway into STEM.

You don’t have to arrive thinking, “I want to be an engineer.”

You can arrive because you like Formula 1. Because you like cars. Because you’re bored in the holidays. Because your brother found something that looked cool.

Then you drive something. You get curious about why it behaves the way it does. You change it. Fix it. Build it. Make it faster.

And suddenly engineering has become something you **do**, rather than something somebody tells you about.

That’s the opportunity we want more young people to have.

Three brilliant days working with youth_enfield and their 2026 Summer Uni programme.

Over three action-packed days, local young people got behind the controls of our1/28 RC cars, competed on track and discovered some of the engineering that makes a car perform.

They learned about racing lines, steering systems, car setup and how batteries can affect speed. They also developed their driving, challenged one another and started thinking about how they could build and customise cars themselves.

Issa, 15, said:

“It’s really fun, and you get to meet new people who are also racers. I’ve learned about different driving lines and steering systems—you have to get the settings right to have the best car.”

Hugo, 16, described it as “a great way to make new friends and have a fun day outside.” He would love to return and explore building and customising the cars.

One of our 13-year-old racers celebrated taking first place and the friendly rivalry he developed with Issa. He now wants to race more often, join bigger leagues and progress to faster cars.

And for Ella, 14, the experience opened up possible career pathways:

“I’d really like to have a career in motorsport—not necessarily racing, but in engineering or marshalling.”

That’s what RC Vision is all about. The cars create the excitement, but behind the racing are friendships, confidence, practical engineering, healthy competition and new ambitions for the future.

A huge thank you to every young person who took part and made these three summer days so memorable, and to Carol Glenn, Mick Hendy and Mike Haswell for their volunteer support.

Day 2 at the Enfield Summer Uni, racing and having fun 🤩

04/08/2026

What a fantastic first day at Enfield Summer Uni 2026.

Today we introduced young people to the world of electric RC car racing, where every lap is an opportunity to think like an engineer. From learning how the cars work to making changes, solving problems and building confidence on the track, it was brilliant to see so much enthusiasm and determination.

A huge thank you to Enfield Council for inviting RC Vision to be part of a programme giving young people access to such a wide range of free summer opportunities. We’re looking forward to doing it all again over the coming weeks.

After the National yesterday, even hotter today back at WLRC for day 4 of the Hillingdon Summer Camp. Banzais, Cartens and waiting for 35 degree heat ☀️ Great mix of regular and new kids enjoying RC ❤️

At RC Vision, that's why timing data matters so much. Every change is a hypothesis. Every race is an experiment. Every result is evidence.

It's also why our programmes aren't really about RC cars. They're about helping young people develop the habits of mind that underpin engineering: questioning, testing, measuring and improving.

In our latest blog, we explore why measurement transforms racing into engineering, and why personalised data helps every young person experience success—whether they're completing 30 laps or just three - and why Live Time Scoring Engine helps us with our goals.

Today we’re back at the amazing Orion Academy in Oxford as part of our partnership with BMW in the Community.

Orion is a specialist school where every young person brings their own strengths, talents and way of seeing the world. It’s a place that reminds us there is no single path to learning, achievement or success.

Today we’re racing, experimenting and working together to make our RC cars faster. Along the way, students are testing ideas, solving problems, learning from setbacks and celebrating successes together.

It’s a simple activity on the surface. But underneath, they’re developing the habits of mind that underpin engineering: curiosity, resilience, creativity and continuous improvement.

We’re proud to be back, and grateful to the staff and students for another warm welcome.

Thanks to CML Distribution and team for helping out 👏👏

🏁 Giving Back Through RC Racing

Two of CML Distribution's Junior Supported Racers, Charlie Saunders and Will Fisher, recently spent time volunteering at Silverstone Technical College alongside the fantastic team at RC Vision, helping inspire the next generation of engineers and racers.

RC Vision is a not-for-profit organisation that uses the excitement of radio-controlled car racing to bring STEM subjects to life. Through hands-on activities, young people develop valuable skills including teamwork, problem-solving, resilience and critical thinking, while discovering the exciting career opportunities available in engineering and technology.

At CML Distribution, we're proud to support the incredible work RC Vision does. Seeing Charlie and Will giving back, sharing their passion, and inspiring the next generation is exactly what our hobby and sport is all about.

A huge well done to Charlie, Will, the RC Vision team, and everyone involved—we're proud to be part of the journey! 👏💙
