I have seen on the HRW Forum build section this theme raised again as a point of interest by a 3d body printer 3a3dSlotcars.com for 3d printed 32nd scale kits. And also recently seen a supplier of a couple of 32nd scale 3d Hot Rod kits in the UK.

It seems to me that now that Slot car builders increasingly have 3d printers in the house, is there scope in running a competition for these colourful vehicles ??

Could we field a race of Vintage & Modern Hot Rods ?

Could we combine Hot Rods with other Oval Racing cars to have a multi Event proxy for example:
Vintage Hotrods /Modern HotRods
Early Nascars/ Modern Nascars
Pioneer Legends

Probably somewhat of a crazy notion I know, but is there anyone else out there who would like this kind of event and be interested enough to enter ?]]> Folks of a certain age will remember the old American Vintage Slot car kits in the 60's (mostly 24th scale I think) when Hot Rods were quite a popular theme.

GENERAL COMMENTS
I don't expect to be running another proxy of the era period again, so it's now or never.
I am hopeful we will see some great models presented, I have tried to tailor this proxy around those who had preferred a modelling or "Master build class" to be included (like the earlier International proxies of the past). Again this is probably going to be a one off because of proxy era.
The cars will need some careful racing, so I would ask hosts to set their tracks at 10volts max.]]>

Welcome to the 60's Slot Car Proxy.
After absorbing the feedback I have received I can offer the attached document for consultation, which will be then used to fix the rules for this proxy.
This period will last until 1st May.

You will note that there are 4 possible Events proposed to which you are invited to enter 3 in seperate Events
Ideally I would like to cap the entry to 10 cars per event unless any of the proposed Events does not gain sufficient support (min 7)

There are no ProCars permitted (Slot it, Policar, NSR, Thunderslot or Scaleauto) for this proxy.

Any comments will be carefully considered and may be implimented if it fits in with the general consensus and is alighned with the intentions of the Theme.
[attachment=48002]

I would be greatful if your interested in entering, if you can add your name to this posting with a clear view as which Events you would wish to participate in ?
For Example: Roadrunners Event 1,3 & 4

I have reflected on the replies regarding Themes/topics over the last few months on my plans for the follow up for another one, and in regard to a new format have taken a lead from the CSCRA (Classic Slot Car Racing Association).

The basic era Classification regarding the rules are laid out mostly in decade format, across the prevailling Real Race Car series of the times. So I am thinking I could adopt a similar pattern for my next proxy adventure. The 1990's & 00's are not really covered as yet by the CSCRA, so I have just copied their general principals.

Decades Slot Car Race Proxies
Pre 60's - Sports/GT, Saloon/Touring, Front Engine F1/Indy
1960's- Sports/GT, Mini cars/ Saloons, early prototypes/ F1/Indy
1970's - Interseries, Special Production Cars, IMSA (GTU, GTO, Gr4/5)
1980's - Group C/ GTP, British Touring Cars Group 2, 1B, & A
1990's - Global GT1 & GT2, Super Touring cars
Modern - GT3 Legends (2000-2015)/ Post 2015, DTM (1993-2018), BTC ( post 2000) Touring cars

Once a period/theme has been chosen from the list for the next proxy it will be removed from any future selection.

So I have attached another Questionnaire just to get your feedback on the most popular theme periods/topics
You don't have to be a current participating entrant to fill in the questionnaire, but I would prefer the opinions of those who are or who would like to enter a proxy based on this new format.

Principles of the new format
The new format will give the opportunity to look differently at the Classes within an Event and the technical rules which will apply. I will be closely following the CSCRA Technical Rules format whenever possible (for smooth running some details will be different because this is a proxy and not an open live event). With the exception of the ocassional Road Race which is outside this criteria as its based on Rally style single car running format, the above "Decade" proxies will be run as a race of at least 2 cars against each other on each Round.
Compliance with the Technical Rules
The cars will be checked as they arrive for compliance to the rules and entrants advised immediately if there are issues to be resolved. In the event of non compliance at the beginning of the first round the cars will be allocated penalties proportional to the degree of non compliance and these will be applied at the end of the series (as deducted points from the total) unless the entrant chooses to fix the issue during the series (this may result in loosing points for a missed round).

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

I have attached the REGISTRATION Document below.
A separate form is rerquired for each car entered.

Registration Fees
PayPal preferred Account (family & friends) graham.gaedwards@gmail.com

The cost is £20 for 1st car, then plus £5 each for each subsequent car entered (max 3)
Overseas entrants will need to cover the excess cost for cars returned.

You can enter 2 cars of different construction in Event 1 only (eg, Revoslot & another or Mini type and another, but only one car with a metal chassis other than a Revoslot). If you are not sure let me know what your wanting to enter and I will clarify for you.

Registration Car Race numbers
In previous proxies this has mostly not been an issue as cars have generally been different liveries and car numbers, but potentially I can see that with recently new introduced Touring car models this could be this time. So if I receive Registration forms with more than one exact car/livery with the same number requested I will ask the latter entry or entries to apply different decal numbers, so we don't have visually identical cars running in any of the 3 Events.

There are 3 Events
Event 1 Smaller Saloon/Sedan Touring cars (Mostly based on European Touring car competitions)
Event 2 Super or Modern Touring cars (Mostly Scalextric body Super Touring cars of the 90's and Modern BTC cars
Event 3 Larger Saloon /Sedan Touring cars (Mostly American or Bathurst 1000 Muscle and DTM Saloon Touring cars)

Awards
There will be overall winners awards for each of the 3 Events.
Additional winners or Runners up Awards will be announced when the Registration List has been completed.
This depends on the eventual entry list composition ( eg Fastest Revoslots or Mini Type car in Event 1, Super Touring or Modern for Event 2 or perhaps Fastest Muscle or DTM car for Event 3)

REGISTRATION FORM
Please only register cars when technical details are finalised.
https://forms.gle/MSiyZyjP9fBcjZuf9

ROUNDS
There are expected to be 8 Rounds to this proxy based on cars being raced against each other on at least 2 different car lanes. There will be a mixture of Plastic and Routed wood tracks used.

KEY DATES
Proxy Fees Payment and Registration Deadline 1st March
Cars To be Delivered for Scrutineer Checks by 1st April
Proxy Start Date 1st May

TECHNICAL RULES

Global Touring Cars Challenge Final Rules.pdf Size: 307.09 KB Downloads: 125

Car liability
Every effort is made to transport these cars in a responsible safe manner inside the packaging for transportation to and from the hosts around the country. And additionally there is a responsibility of care by the hosts to run & race these cars in a manner which minimalises damage caused by collisions with other cars or other parts off the track.
However any damage caused must be reported should it occur so as to infom the entrant of issues. However hosts and the Administrator (me) cannot be held directly responsible if such damage occurs. Entrants enter their cars at their own risk.

I feel that with the " Global Touring Cars Challenge proxy " in 2026, it will be a cross roads for me organising these events, and that I should take time to canvas opinion as to how to proceed in the future to maintain the interest of the current participants and hopefully encourage others to take part as well.

I hope to get some good feedback, either to make changes to the style of proxy or to keep things as they are for the next proxy or series of proxy's. It will be the case that perhaps some ideas can more easily be accomodated than others depending on the type of slot cars available and the nature of the theme.

Intro
so today I will be starting the Road Race Stage 1 in a few hours time. As this is a Road Race there will be no qualifying as such, the cars will be segmented into the 3 Events (Classic, Gran Turismo & Prototypes & GT). There are 5 boxes, and the cars are inserted into foam pockets within the boxes. I have seperated the cars for each event into Modified & ProCars (as I think this will help the drivers to adjust their driving skills accordingly) but otherwise they are not ordered in any way regarding performance.
When the cars have been run for each Event the fastest 3 cars will be photographed on the podium (regardless of Class ie A&B, C&D, E&F)
The points will also be attributed regardless of the Class within the Event.

Entrants Cars Technical Information (Scrutineers Report)
To be inserted, the Scrutineering will be done before I start the 1st Stage. No penalty points will be applied before we start the race, but I reserve the right to do so at the end of the series should I feel that any car has gained an unfair advantage entering a non-compliant car.

Rounds & Stages

Targa Round schedule-8.jpeg Size: 447.8 KB Downloads: 210

Should any Round not be able to be run due to unforeseen circumstances, we will move on to the next scheduled Round. It can be decided later if that Round can be run at the end of the series or not.

Race Format
Each host will run the cars singly, either on 2 different single lane Stages for "Rally Stage" or on 2 different lanes for "Tarmac Stage".
All individual Stage/lane finishing positions will be allocated points on an equal basis. I have found that the orginal intended method of combining "stage" results for each round generates an unfair overall handicup to cars which experience a particularly slow run time on just one of the 2 Stages in a round due to a specific track related reason.

Spirit of the Proxy Award
This award goes to the car which has been most selected by the nominated hosts for the 12 rounds, as their choice for the "Spirit of the proxy award"
The 11 cars as selected by me based on their suitability in regard to Scratchbuild effort, self decoration, and the cars must have been scrutineered as compliant to the technical rules for each Event.

The list of cars eligiable in this context are:

so here we are with the 15th proxy since 2021 that I have organised.

Global Touring Car Challenge Proxy poster.png Size: 431.53 KB Downloads: 175

KEY DATES
Registration Forms Completed by 1st April
Cars to be delivered by 1st April
Proxy Start Day 1st May

As this is a "Challenge" proxy I wanted to do something different from the last Touring Car proxy.
so the 3 events can be viewed as:

Event 1 Small Touring car Saloons, mostly of the earlier period.
Intentionally intended for the smaller Mini like or equivalent size cars, I based the Max wheel width of 52mm based on my standard size Slot it Datsun 510. Inludes Revoslots (see awards section) or scratch-build metal chassis.

Event 2 Inspired by a Slot club series on BTCC "Super Touring cars of the 90's" I have expanded this to include more recent Scalextric Touring cars as well a few alternative home brands of a similar in line motor configuration and similar body weight and width. No lightweight bodies permitted, and all must use a S-Can motor. As many of the models are not normally slot car Favourites this should be an interesting Challenge. Includes some narrower Bathhurst 1000 models.

Event 3 Can be seen as a "American Muscle versus European wide saloon cars", which were mostly over 3 litres.
Also some of the similar Bathurst 1000 bigger cars as well for good measure. Any motor orientation allowed and a some long can motors included the motor list.

General
Motor list - Motors are resticted to those with a low "magnetic traction" as we will be using a few plastic with metal contact rail tracks. The Max 21 rpm has been restricted to limit the motor power of these saloon cars across all 3 Events.
Metal chassis Revoslots & scratch build metal chassis permitted only in Event 1.
Lexan lightweigh plastic interiors are permitted across all 3 Events.
Only Rubber tyres permitted.

Final Technical Rules

Global Touring Cars Challenge Rules.pdf Size: 303.47 KB Downloads: 167

Awards
These will be finalised once we know what the entry list is looking like, but obviously the leading cars with the most points at the end of the series of each Event will be the winners. Possibly there might be secondary winners of a Revoslot and Mini Class in Event 1 if there is clearly a good representation of such cars entered, otherwise it will be winners and runners up competition.

There is no guarantee of sponsorship awards at this stage.

Entry cost
Initial car entry £20, additional cars £5 each (max 3 cars) You are permitted to enter 2 cars of different construction in Event 1 (ie Revoslot and another ) others may be considered like a Mini type + ....
Overseas entries - car postage cost above the regular UK national level will be charged when the cars are prepared for return.

Car liability
Every effort is made to transport these cars in a responsible safe manner inside the packaging for transportation to and from the hosts around the country. And additionally there is a responsibility of care by the hosts to run & race these cars in a manner which minimalises damage caused by collisions with other cars or other parts off the track.
However any damage caused must be reported should it occur so as to infom the entrant of issues. However hosts and the Administrator (me) cannot be held directly responsible if such damage occurs. Entrants enter their cars at their own risk.

Can a Thunderslot chassis work under one of these? It needs to be lowered about 1mm as it’s as high as Cheech and Chong or The Grave Digger.
