EFRA European 1:8 IC Off-Road Championship (known officially since 2004 as EFRA 1:8 IC Off-Road European Championship for A-class drivers, in short 1/8 Nitro Buggy Euros or 1/8 Off-Road EC A) is an annual single-event radio-controlled racing tournament sanctioned by European Federation of Radio Operated Model Automobiles for 1:8 scale radio-controlled off-road buggies powered by .21 (3.5cc) glow plug engine. Inaugurated in 1981, it is one of the oldest championship of its type, predating all other national championships; only the All-Japan and the French championship predates it (1980 and 1979).[1]

Since the class was split into two license categories (EC A and EC B) in 2004[2], this article focuses on the former tournament for elite drivers and not the latter for drivers who have not appeared in the top 50 or an A-main in other classes; the "Grand Prix" for open entries[3][4] or newly introduced in 2015, the EFRA European 1:8 Electric Off-Road Championship for eBuggies.

The Formula One driver, Pedro de la Rosa in his youth, was the first back-to-back champion in 1983 and 1984.[5]

Frederic Veyssere is the only European (and one of three drivers) to score a continental double (EFRA Euros with IFMAR Worlds) in 1:8 off-road within the same calendar year.[6]
