As we are approaching SDC 2026 Worlds (October 2-4) we have created the SDC 2026 Worlds Information Page. All updates will be here. When in question, check here for the latest information.

Update July 10, 2026:

After careful consideration, it has been decided the Grand Prize Super-G started awarding last year - Round Trip Flights to R.C.D.C. 2027 (Contingent on R.C.D.C. approval to compete) and WTDC 2027 will be awarded to the United States SDC 2026 Champion.

This is the winner of the SDC 2026 National Champion Battles which will be held on October 3, 2026 at the SDC 2026 Worlds event. 

This differs from the previous 2025 SDC Season where the top U.S. Driver was awarded this prize.
