NNRC LIVE at 1PM EST | Worlds Warm Up Race Recap with Lefty, Max & Pekko

Yes yes yes indeed! Nitro is the glory but Ebuggy pays the bills! In this episode of the No Name RC Podcast, Lefty, Max & Pekko sit down to geek out over the 2026 IFMAR Worlds Warm-Up Race from Thornhill Raceway in Texas! The boys break down Davide Ongaro’s domination, Ryan Maifield’s charge through the field, Matty Polito’s impressive pace, and what this race really means heading into the Worlds later this year. The conversation gets heated as the crew dives deep into the tire sauce controversy, IFMAR’s enforcement plans, and whether the Worlds Warm-Up was actually useful for the top drivers. They also compare American, European, and Asian track styles, discuss setup philosophies, fuel mileage strategy, and what it’s truly going to take to beat Ongaro at the Worlds. Plus plenty of classic NNRC bench racing, RC industry talk, laughs, tangents, and chaos along the way! Thank you to all of our sponsors, patrons, YouTube members, and listeners for the continued support of the NNRC. #NNRC #RCRacing #IFMAR #NitroBuggy #RCPodcast
