So back in 2007 1/10 touring car was massive and the offroad 1/10th scene was really growing, 1/8th off road buggy was doing well but the upcoming electrics and truggies where starting to nudge their way in and a few where getting back into 1 cell lipo 12th - I assume 1/10 th pans disappeared?
Me I've been out of RC cars, then back flying helis for the last few years. So what's the big thing in RC racing today? I mean BRCA type sanctioned racing with lots of entries - we used to see 100-120 per race.

I would say 1/10 touring cars is still a very big thing, both the BRCA series (2-day and Clubmans) and the Schumacher BTCC are very well supported with numbers nudging the 100 mark.
In Off-Road I've been out of it for a year or two but I think 1/10 buggies are the biggest BRCA class, both regionally and nationally. 2WD is bigger than 4WD within that class.
1/10th pan car is still alive, indoors on 1S as part of the GT10/12 National series. Both at club and at regionals/nationals, GT12 is now very healthy.
