The third running of our WHO Spring stages saw 21 drivers and 56 cars take to four stages, three of which were familiar and the other - Burpham & Wepham - was built from scratch during set-up...

1. Friston Forest: SCX and Scalextric Classic
2. Jupp's Farm: Ninco off-road (updated for 2026)
3. Burpham & Wepham: Ninco tarmac
4: Johnny's Workshop (anti-clockwise): 3D printed and braid

Johnny's Workshop (clockwise) was run as the shakedown stage, with direction changed for the timed runs.

Chad joined us for his first taste of slot rally action, running a borrowed Avant Slot Toyota Yaris WRC2 and the club cars. Newer racers with only one car are now permitted to also run in the club car category. Simon M was the other contender - running his Scalextric Impreza WRX alongside the club cars.

   

Otherwise, the line up was the usual mix of stock Scalextric and SCX cars, lots of Nincos, a few 3D printed chassis conversions and some high-end SRC, Scaleauto and NSR monsters. With shakedown over and groups ready to go, it was time to get the 2026 WHO Spring Stages underway...

   

Although Farmer Jupp's cows would cause mischief all evening.
