Expect plenty of snow and ice for the first WHO Slot Rally club night of the year - which takes place on the eve of the real Monte Carlo Rally.

Doors open at 6.30pm for sign-on and allocation to groups for the evening. The Johnny's Workshop stage will be available for a shakedown - to make sure your cars and controllers are functioning as you want them.

The competitive stages for this one are:

1. Friston Forest - SCX and Scalextric Classic, featuring SCX ice effect track.
2. Jupp's Farm 2026 (short version) - Ninco with some patches of ice and extra rough terrain
3. Titnore Lane - Ninco tarmac with plenty of ice track and elevations
4. Ford Ice Rink - routed foamboard


All four stages are fitted with a UK club 3-pin 2 amp socket and standard club wiring (brake wired -ve and L terminal wired +ve). Power is 12V DC, apart from the Ice Rink, which runs at 10V.

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 - otherwise no modifications).

Entry is £3 per person for the whole evening, £2 for under-16s.
