Master Offroad 1: 8 and 1:10

The EFRA has been awarding EM titles in the off-road sector since 1981. The first title race was held in the 1: 8 scale class with internal combustion engines. In 2004 these classes were split up into two championships for drivers with EFRA A and B licenses . The first European Championship for 1:10 electric buggies was held in 1985. Just four years later, this was also split into two classes for rear-wheel and all-wheel drive.

Since 2010, new European championships have been created as the corresponding classes gained popularity.
