Are the motors in those 4x4 cars in-line or sidewinder? Only in-line motors are eligible for Slot Rally events. As for which class… that depends on the real rally car they are modelled on and when it first raced.

All cars must adhere to the Slot Rally Rules document (basically inline motor, magnet removed). All these cars will compete for the overall win and for one of the three classes they fall into - Classic, 80s/90s or Modern. In addition, we will award a prize each to the top-finishing Scalextric car and top-finishing SCX car in the overall standings. 

To go for Scalextric or SCX honours, cars will need to both adhere to the Slot Rally Rules and be run as standard - a change of braids and/or tyres is fine, as is the addition of ballast. If the cars are modified, they will just compete for the overall result and one of the three classes.

If anyone has a sidewinder Scalextric rally car and nothing else, we’re not going to turn them away in 2024… they just won’t feature in the results. But do remember there will be club cars available too.

Hope that helps.
