Hello!

I want to collect 1:32 slot car WRC models, one for every champion since I've followed it in 2000.
It seems impossible to get the actual years for the champion themselves....

Can anybody recommend the best way to collect them? Maybe there are older discontinued ones that you know? 

Attached is a table of the champions, their cars & the number they would've run that year. Hopefully it helps anybody work out which specific one I would need. But we're talking 13 cars featuring:

Gronholm
Burns
Solberg
Loeb (4 Citroens - Kronos Zsara incl.)
Ogier (Polo, Fiesta & Yaris)
Tanak
Neuville

I have no preference over the make. Scalextric makes some recent cars decently, but I know that SCX & AvantSlot have been known to produce very good cars. Maybe Slot.it & others have made some? I've fallen down a rabbit hole with it & came back with very few answers... If you know manufacturer & model numbers I'd be very grateful!

Alternatively, if you can suggest a cost effective & time minimal way to put the right decals on certain similar cars... it could be a solution... maybe.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Im looking at getting my son his first set and he loves Lamborghinis. The new scalextric supercar set doesn't seem to come with a lap counter, or the "hot laps" feature. I just wondered if anyone knows of any issues me using the app with the lambo set. There's a £40 difference with the Ford puma set and the only difference is the cardboard gantry for the smartphone...unless anyone can advise other wise? Recommendations welcome (8 year old beginner)

Many Thanks

As per the title really.

Looking for a UK source of GT3/GT4 decals, or the more durable 'peel and stick variety.

Aiming at personalising a red Policar Maserati GT4 so it'll be identifiable in a one make class.  

Anything suitable from other classes of racing would do as I'm not looking for scale accuracy.

Thanks for looking.

   

Our final WHO Slot Rally club night of 2025 will feature these four stages...

• Friston Forest - SCX & Scalextric Classic
  
• Jupp's Farm (short version) - Ninco Tarmac & Off-Road
  
• Johnny's Workshop - 3D printed + braid
  
• Titnore Lane - Ninco Tarmac + Ice
  

As always, the aim is to get through all four stages in the quickest possible time.

Our WHO Slot Rally events are for 1:32 scale analogue rally cars running to our local interpretation of Slot Rally GB regulations - see here. The important highlights are that cars must be fitted with an inline motor and must feature a driver and co-driver sitting side-by-side.

Each driver can enter one car per class - Classic, 80s-90s and Modern Rally. Club cars and controllers are available on each stage. We will be noting the best times for standard SCX and Scalextric cars (magnets must be removed, weight can be added and tyres and braid may be replaced).

Doors open at 6.30pm and Johnny's Workshop will be available as a shakedown stage. We will reverse the direction when the competition begins. The three other stages are closed to traffic prior to the start of the rally.

Hi,
I am looking for someone making 1/32nd scale decals for the BRM P154 and March 707 etc

Does anyone know of a specialist supplier of these kind of decals please ?

The SCX Fiat 131 Abarth, Rally de Talavera 1982, is the latest slot car version of the Italian Group 4 rally car.
Spanish driver Pablo de Sousa and his navigator Pedro Gancía Sánchez finished the Spanish Tarmac Championship event second overall; their best result of the 1982 season.
They could only achieve a result in one other Spanish Tarmac Championship event; a third place overall in the 1982 Rallye Villa de Llanes, but that was it.
In the other seven 1982 Spanish Tarmac Championship rallies they did not finish due to technical failures and three accidents.
De Sousa only drove the Fiat 131 Abarth in 1982 and then retired from active rallying. Later he took part in historic rally events in Spain and Portugal.

Here are a few photos of the Rothmans sponsored 1982 Rally de Talavera Fiat 131 Abarth:

       


       

   

Our 2026 season sees a record 33 events at the Barn. We've added two brand new events to the calendar - an extra Digital Saturday is added in February that will feature American-themed cars and formats, plus a Rally-Raid fun night in August which will be a chance to enjoy Dakar vehicles on Ninco & SCX off-road stages.

There are some tweaks to the calendar. WHO Digital Wednesdays now fall on the second Wednesday of the month, a week after the monthly HO race. The WHO Goodwood Revival has moved from its usual slot in September to the first Saturday of October, with the Digital Test Night moved into September. Both July and October see four events at the Barn - and we have another action-packed summer holiday programme, which went down well in 2025.

Race fees remain at £3 adults / £2 under-16s on Wednesday nights and £6 adults / £4 under-16s for the Digital Saturdays. The Slot Rally GB Championship event in July is hosted by the club - fees and regs will be publicised in due course by the Slot Rally GB organisers.

More details about our WHO Slot Rally, Scalextric Digital and HO scale formats and regulations for next season will follow very soon.

  Good evening

I feel that with the " Global Touring Cars Challenge proxy " in 2026, it will be a cross roads for me organising these events, and that I should take time to canvas opinion as to how to proceed in the future to maintain the interest of the current participants and hopefully encourage others to take part as well.

I hope to get some good feedback, either to make changes to the style of proxy or to keep things as they are for the next proxy or series of proxy's. It will be the case that perhaps some ideas can more easily be accomodated than others depending on the type of slot cars available and the nature of the theme.

So if your a current or previous proxy competition slot car entrant wanting to offer some advice, or someone who is interested but is yet to take the plunge, please feel free to complete the form.

                           My slot car museum is back up ! Just google bernards slot car museum. This the biggest site on the subject anywhere on the internet. It took me years to get it back up, but during this period I did, as administrator continue to add new cars and sets, so now that it is up its bigger than before. I am also trying to correct mistakes and upgrade everything I can . I try to cover everything I can in the museum but I am retired and on a fixed income so I am limited now in what I can buy. My great love are the cars and sets made between 1905 (the earliest sets made by Marklin) and 1960-61. Of course I like every period including modern. I was never a good racer so I tried to be a good collector. But I also felt the need to go beyond collecting and thus opened the museum here in Houston  ( brick and mortar ) and on my web site so we could more fully share our interests and know more about the history of our hobby. I like  all forms, from toy quality to some of the masterpieces produced today. My problem is I am not rich so I must be careful what I buy and the early stuff comes 1st, then the cars from the 1960s and so on. I am working on a new set from the 1960s. I will post it when its done. I list the newer stuff I got at the bottom on my main page. Feel free to contact me and visit. Enjoy !
