The Slot Rally GB Championship is back following two very successful years after its re-launch. Last season saw the series concentrate on the south and west of the UK, which carries over to 2026...

The championship consists of five rounds, the best four to count for drivers registered for championship points - the registration fee is £5 per driver for the season. Event entry is £5 per car for up to four cars and a maximum of two in any class.

The events will run to national slot rally rules, 2026 championship rules and regs can be found below. All SRGB 2025  cars will remain eligible for 2026 with no modifications needed. Any rule changes largely relate to clarification regarding new products.

There will be a Targa Florio class for 2026, running as a fourth main class. This has replaced the Avant Slot Challenge, but these cars remain eligible in the main 80/90s class.
