Scalextric and the Digital Slot Car Association (DiSCA) are taking over the Hornby Visitor Centre in August to host an exciting weekend of BTCC digital racing on a replica of the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit. The Scalextric ARC Pro Digital Challenge will take place on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 August.

   

Saturday 24 August is a day of 'Arrive & Drive' racing with a fleet of standard Scalextric BTCC cars available to all participants. Simply register, turn up and race. Registration is here. Payment - £5 / £2.50 for under-16s - will be taken on the day and includes entry to the Visitor Centre.

Sunday 25 August is for owner-drivers to run their own Scalextric BTCC cars (modern, post-2016 models only) using Slot.it PT24 P6 rear tyres. Registration is here. Payment - £5 / £2.50 for under-16s - will be taken on the day and includes entry to the Visitor Centre.

Both days will run identical schedules which include a warm-up, qualifying session and three separate races, split into groups, with a step-up mechanism. Race three will be a reverse grid for the top ten drivers. Points collected from each race will determine the overall positions.
 
Scalextric have put forward some incredible prizes for the top three racers on both days including tickets for the final race of the BTCC season at Brands Hatch and a range of goodies from the Scalextric product line.

There are more details, including rules for the Sunday racing, on the DiSCA website: www.officialdisca.com/2019/07/scalextric-arc-pro-digital-challenge/

Help on Chassis and motor

SO in my plethora thread , I have a Ferrari that I now find does not take a standard motor


Chassis at the moment

   

Driver tray

   

Tray fitted.....

   

Chassis test fit.....

   


When fitting the supplied driver tray, which is not bad, and then test fitting the chassis, the last pic shows the height discrepancy.

I assume that this either needs a front wheel drive chassis OR a HO type motor and chassis to fit?

Amy suggestions and suppliers?

Compact layouts are always popular but often difficult to achieve. Fitting an interesting track onto a single sheet of MDF is a real challenge, but it's not impossible.

We're trying out a few minor changes to the site which we hope will be useful.

1. Instead of the "Today's Posts" link in the sidebar on the left of the Portal and Forum pages, we've added a "Recent Posts" link which will show posts from the last week, rather than just one day.
   
2. We've also added the same link to the menu at the top of the page, to make it accessible from anywhere on the forum, rather than having to go back to the Portal or Forum pages.
   
3. To make room for that link at the top of the page we've moved the "Members" link over to the sidebar.
   

Let me know if you find any problems with ti.
