I have updated the entries in post #1. There are currently 45 cars at Rally HQ, with Oli's Audi Quattro posted in Worthing on Saturday and due to arrive today (fingers-crossed). Please do check to see if your name appears where you expect it to be!

The 46 cars includes 12 entries in Class 1 (Scalextric 1997-2007 WRC), 9 entries in Class 2 (Scalextric DPR 'Group B') and 25 entries in Class 3 (UK Slot Rally).

There's a wide range of makes in Class 3 - SCX (9), Ninco (5), SRC (3), Scalextric (3), plus one each of Carrera, Scaleauto, PowerSlot, Policar and NSR. There are four replacement chassis - two Red Dragon, one Slot.it and one JS Chassis Design - and a handful of motor swaps, but not many.

It's an honour to welcome Phil B's Porsche 914 - class winner at the recent Wye Valley Winter Stages - and Alan B's Citroën C4 that came third in class at the same event.

Apart from local Sussex entries, cars have arrived from all around the UK - including several from Wales, Scotland, the Midlands, North East, Kent and the Home Counties.

The full entry list will be posted later today / early tomorrow.

If there was an award for 'most beautiful packaging', Doug's box would come first...

   

...although Craig's lavender-scented 'pampering' box was a worthy runner-up. His and Steve's entries definitely win the 'best smelling' car award.

Finally, Rose (the cat) wants to say a big "thank you" to everyone who sent her a box... Having said that, I have managed to keep her (and any cat hair) out of all the Rally-Sprint boxes so far.
