Based in Dublin, Ireland, the clubs were originally founded in the 1980's to cater for the new sport of Radio Controlled (RC) Car Racing that had emerged from the USA on the back of new technologies at the time. The primary class raced then and up to the present is 1/10th scale electric offroad (buggies). Naturally, the sport and clubs have expanded and evolved to cater for new class trends over the years such as On-road touring cars, but racers always return to 1/10th offroad as it offers tremendous spectical and value for money. The "plug'n'play" aspect of the electric buggies also has drivers who have raced Nitro powered cars for years conververting to the popular electric class.

RC Car Racing in Ireland is experiencing a spurge in growth at the moment - partly due to the "hassle-free" nature of the equipment, and the fact that the cost of getting started has been reduced to about the same as a computer games console - making it very affordable.

The DMCC and IMRCC are affiliated to the Radio Controlled Car Association of Ireland (RCCAOI) whom determine who will represent Ireland in the European and World Championships.The clubs are proud to say that they have had club members qualify for the two highly prestigious events every occasion since 1989.
