RCPD runs Shantou in October with team, solo and tandem in two scales

The home page gives R.C.P.D. as "Radio Control Progun Drift" and says the series was founded by RC drift enthusiasts. It also describes itself as China's most authoritative and influential RC drift event. That is the organiser's self-description, and YAW prints it as such rather than as a verified fact.

The season poster renders the name differently again, as "Rc drift Community PD championship". Both spellings come from the series itself; the site's own wording is the one used here.

The Rounds 1 and 2 schedule, published as an image on the series' news page, reads as a staged build rather than a single day of runs.

• Thursday: open practice for both classes, 1:10 and 1:24.
• A 1:10 competition day: driver check-in, inspection, and issue of competition tyres; solo rules briefing; group photo; solo runs; tandem rules briefing; then tandem in C, B and A groups, and awards.
• Saturday: the team competition (团体赛) for 1:10 at 10:00 and for 1:24 at 11:00, with 1:24 solo and tandem following.

Two details are worth pulling out. First, tyres are issued at check-in, which makes them an event-controlled item rather than something a driver shops for; the pages read do not name the maker or the compound. Second, the tandem bracket is split into C, B and A groups, so drivers are battling inside a tier rather than through one open ladder.

How the team competition is scored is not stated on the pages read. Neither are the judging criteria for solo or tandem — the schedule shows a briefing before each, which is where those rules get delivered on the day.

A 27 April news post covers the course layout, and it is the most interesting document on the site. The 1/10 layout and the mosquito-car layout use the same corner arrangement; the 1/10 plan is given as 15 x 10 and the mosquito-car plan as 7 x 4. The post does not state the units, so read those as proportions rather than as metres.

That is a deliberate piece of series design. The 1:24 class — small-scale cars, a different world from a 257 mm-wheelbase 1/10 RWD chassis — gets a course with the same sequence of corners and transitions, scaled down. A driver who runs both classes is reading the same shapes twice in a weekend.

The series' full event list shows 1/10 Round 2 held on 24 May 2026 in Dezhou, Shandong, and now closed. News items from May cover the Rounds 1 and 2 driver list (17 May) and the venue (6 May), both in Dezhou. Results pages were not read for this piece, so no standings appear here.

• 1/10 Round 3: 16 October 2026, Shantou, Guangdong
• Mosquito car (1:24) Round 2: 17 October 2026, afternoon, Shantou
• 1/10 Round 4: 18 October 2026, Shantou

Schedules, the driver lists and the course posts are published on the series' news index; dates and status for every round of the season sit on the event list.
