Next-Gen Face-Off – Announcement

May 13th, 2025 – Hello, Re-Volters!

We’re finally back again with another creative event – and once again, comments are open, so feel free to tell us what you think about it! As we leave the first quarter of the century (!!), we can’t help but ask ourselves an age-old question: what will the cars of the future look like? That’s right – calling all car makers here, this event is just for you! Get your (virtual) pencil and paper and start sketching the radio-controlled cars of tomorrow!

What is this?

Content creators can attend the contest by submitting a creation according to the contest themes.

After the deadline, there will be a public voting to determine the winners of each category.

In addition, you can gain Kudos by attending the Next-Gen Face-Off!

  • Innovation through Nostalgia: start from a Re-Volt stock car and bring it into the future!
  • Innovation through Emulation: take inspiration from a real car and modernize it!
  • Innovation through Imagination: unleash your craziest ideas by building an unconventional machine from a distant future!
