I dunno about being a sport but RC's are being used as slaves in the Olympic movement for returning equipment in the field events.

no chance, there's no physical element to racing an rc car (other than moving your thumbs)

Hmmmmm... that is a decent point

Archery and rifle shooting do require a high degree of skill and accuracy, just like rc racing.

Here you go...

The sport must be practiced by men in at least 75 countries and four continents, and by women in at least 40 countries and three continents.
The sport in question must have a governing International Federation in order for the IOC to officially recognize them as a sport.
The governing body has to then file an application to become a demonstration sport. After that, the sport may file another application to officially become a fully recognised Olympic sport.
