What's Slot Racing?

Slot racing is the next level up type of Scalextric club racing (analogue) and here at Norwich Slot Racing Club we use non-magnetic braid, so there is no advantage to using magnets

At this moment in time we race other manufacturers brands of of cars and our club night is every Monday evening. However it could be possible to race only your own Scalextric cars on another evening so if you are interested please feel free to contact us.

How It's done

With all classes of Scalextric/slot racing the secret is don’t come off…. When you do come off the drivers who are not racing are marshalling and they put the cars back on and when your race is over you would marshall the next race. (each lane is coloured, and a sticker of that colour is stuck to the windshield of your car, indicating to the marshall what lane to put you back into)

The track has a lap length of 29 metres and is a wooden construction also it is a permanent layout making racing very exciting.

Norwich slot racing club meets every Monday evening between 6.30pm and 10pm. Practice until 7.30pm So for anybody new to slot car racing just turn up at 6.30pm, there are club cars and controllers to use. At 7.30pm slot racing starts, consisting of 4 heats per driver followed by a short break and then the Finals, based upon results from the heats. A race season runs January to December in which we run 7 classes these usually alter from season to season. Classes are Sports/GT, Group Five, Goodwood, Club Cars, Slot.It Group C, Saloons, GT3, and Rally Cars. Through the season we run 7 championship races for each class and an overall driver championship.
