RE: Global Touring Cars Slot Car Challenge Proxy 2026 - car builds - Graham - 16th-Sep-25

Many thanks,
If everyone is on board with the change, tomorrow we will go with the 21k max rpm for event 3 as with the other 2 events. To me it makes sense to have a common motor power limit across the 3 events for this proxy. The Event 3 cars will run fast enough even with 21k motors.

Tonight I've fitted a spare Revo motor in my Event 3 car for testing on Thursday.

It's not a 'slow' motor when it's good enough to push heavy Revos around our track in the low 6 second bracket.

Hi Graham
In event 3 is the car list hard and fast or can other cars such as an XD Falcon be used? Asking as I have a 3D model I am about to resin print and thought this may be ideal for this event.
Thanks Fred

Yes, I basically listed the Ford Falcon cars which I knew Scalextric had made and seperated them into In line motor cars for Event 2 and Sidewinder models for Event 3.

Hi Graham,

Do I presume correctly that this Audi 90GTO doesn't qualify as a Touring Car?

(SCX Audi 90GTO which is 65mm wide)

...asking for a friend

I did look at this one myself, but I don't think the car ever competed as a "Touring car "  ??

You just confirmed what I told my 'friend', I'll let him know officially

Saw one of these on my shelf, been sat there for years, too narrow to be competitive in our Saloon class but perfect for this proxy... Scalextric Escort Cosworth

...then I wondered if it was ever raced as a saloon rather than a Rally car...oh yes!
