Remote radio-control car racing has experienced tremendous growth over the past two decades. There are even national (Remotely Operated Auto Racers) and world governing bodies (International Federation of Model Auto Racing), the latter having been established in 1979.
In Sweden, one of the up and coming stars in this type of racing is 14-year-old Elias Johannson. Over the past year, Johansson has won championships in Swedish Cup, Winter Indoor Cup, Summer Cup, World Indoor Series and European B Junior events.
