What does it take to win an IFMAR World Championship? Join us as we chat to a man who knows better than most - two time World Champ Joel "Magic" Johnson. Joel grew up racing 1/12th on-road, came oh-so-close to winning the big one in that category before switching across to off-road in 1987 and nailing it at the first attempt. He'd get it done again, this time on tarmac a few years later in 1992. In this first episode with Joel we work our way from the 70's through to the 90's, taking in local, national and international racing, meeting some of the legends of the sport and classic cars along the way. We'll return soon for part 2 as we dig into some more of Joel's R/C story. Enjoy!
