January 2024 marks ten years since we started racing Scalextric digital at the Barn. A lot has changed since then, but the DNA of our digital racing remains having a lot of fun!

The 22-page guide to our 2024 WHO Digital racing contains all the dates, formats, driver gradings and car regulations. You can download it here:

As always, we’ve tried to make our events accessible for new racers. However, we do highly recommend getting a few Nascar & Pioneer Wednesdays under your belt before moving on to the other events. These introductory evenings are strategically placed in pairs - at the start of the year in January & February and then before the autumn Saturdays in July & August.

Here are some of the highlights for 2024...

• The popular Nascar & Pioneer Legends Wednesdays feature in January, February, July and August. These remain fantastic fun and are the perfect introduction to our Scalextric digital racing. All equipment is provided and there are also championship points to be won!
  
• The WHO Digital GT Championship sees six GT teams race for two-hours at Wednesday evening events in March, April and May - with a four-hour climax to the championship in June. All sidewinder cars may now use vac-formed interiors as a Balance of Performance mechanism. Weather choices will be more random in 2024, including the chance of no changes.
  
• The WHO Goodwood Revival is back in September. The 1950s Sussex Trophy moves into the team race slot and TT Celebration becomes the pairs race, but otherwise the format is the same as 2022 and 23.
  
• The Birkett Relay gets its second running the following month. The day starts with a St Mary’s Trophy pairs race. The Birkett Relay begins with another Goodwood Class - the Kinrara Trophy. Each team runs a variety of cars during the race - and we use this format to create a 4-hour team race that lets us enjoy cars from various WHO Digital classes, including Carrera Classic Nascars, Scalextric 1975-1984 tin-tops and 1965-69 sports prototypes.
  
• The season ends with two Tin-Top Saturdays in November and December. These will feature a club car rotation, three-race BTCC competition, a Group A team race, a new Carrera Classic Nascar class, plus the Muscle Car Mondiale heats & feature format.
  
• One brand new event is a Wednesday night test session in August to help prepare your cars for the autumn Saturdays.
  

As always - any questions, just ask.
