Our 2026 WHO Digital GT Championship sees six teams - led by our Gold-rated drivers - race over three two-hour races on Wednesday evenings, followed by a four-hour, double-points championship finale at our June GT Saturday.

The WHO GT cars run to our local interpretation of the DiSCA GT4 Scalextric Clubman rules, requiring mostly standard Scalextric parts to be used throughout. The older Sidewinder models are permitted to use a vac-formed interior as a Balance of Performance measure.

Teams are strictly Pro-Am - our driver ratings based on performances across all our WHO events and weighted towards individual races. There are six Gold and Six Silver 'Pro' drivers, with all other drivers rated as Bronze. Pro-Am means that at least one Bronze-rated driver must race on each team and must share the driving time equally. A two-minute driver change window straddles the end of stints at 20, 40, 60 and 80 minutes, giving six stints in a two-hour race. A three-driver team shares the six stints equally - two each. A four-driver team must share the six stints equally between Pro (Gold/Silver) and Am (Bronze) drivers, ie Bronze drivers must race at least three stints.

Like last year, we start the championship racing on Barns Hatch - Mike's interpretation of the Kent circuit's Grand Prix layout...

   

And also like last year, Alex won't be attending the Wednesday races, so has handed the ASTCOM-One Audi R8 GT3 to Simon to navigate through the first three races.

Other team news...

Mike's newly-named AIM-9 will be running side-winder cars again this season. He'll be joined by Steve Croft and Stephen McCann.

Écurie Escargot will be resurrecting the red & white Aston Martin Vantage V12. Rob Allison joins the team as deputy, alongside Andy.

Gearzilla Racing are back with the same SunEnergy Mercedes AMG GT3. Oliver will be racing alongside Rob Bean. Isaac is another regular driver, but its his sixteenth birthday on Wednesday and he's doing other things...

Shift Happens! is Dean's team for 2026. Rookies Kinsley, Jaxson and Mike make up an inexperienced, but enthusiastic quartet.

Terry's first season as a Gold driver will see Laps in Concentration on the grid and Ash as the Silver driver. There's a good chance we'll see another Vantage V12.

All other drivers will be allocated on the night.
