History of MCC-KonstanzIn 1992, a few RC car enthusiasts met now and then in a then newly opened model store to talk store about their own and new models. One met on the weekends on some parking lot. Built a circuit with empty beverage cans or simply drove around existing manhole covers. After the circle of people increased steadily, the call for the foundation of an association with its own permanent circuit became louder and louder. After some considerations and negotiations, nothing more stood in the way of the realization in spring 1993. The DJK Konstanz e.V. Has agreed to found a Mini-Car department and to provide us with a handball field that had been lying fallow and unused for many years. 1000 m², which belongs to the club area of the DJK. Thus the basic condition was created and we could begin to discuss club affairs, allocation, routing etc.. To think about. The newly founded Mini-Car department soon had 35 members, all of whom had one or more remote-controlled models. Since these were smooth track and offroad vehicles as well as model trucks, the new club area was divided into three areas. Most of the used area was asphalted, so we created a big smooth track, an offroad track (partly asphalt and partly earth) and a truck course with road crossings, parking lots and even a pond incl. Ferry planned. Thanks to the help of all members, the realization took only about 4 months, so that the MCC Constance was able to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of its founding. May 1993 the opening of the new club area could celebrate.
For the different models a set of rules with different racing classes was created, according to which the first club races and club championships were held. At that time, we had no idea that the DMC e.V. There was also a set of rules, which was still quite different from ours. At that time we didn't care about that, because we just wanted to have fun with our hobby.
3 years later we were so far that we could open in October 1996 the 1. Could organize international indoor races in the Rheinguthalle in Konstanz, to which already 45 starters from Southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria competed in 5 classes. Since then, 2 international indoor races are held annually, one in the context of the Baden-Württemberg Cup (Bawue Cup), formerly in the gymnasium of the Geschwister-Scholl-Schule, now in the new Wollmatinger-Halle, and a friendly race on the club grounds with participant numbers between 70 and 125 drivers. We were soon able to finance our own computerized timing and lap counting system and also the 420 m² needle felt carpet for the indoor track.
