Race report and results - 22nd January 2026 - Grand Prix & F1 followed by Saloons - 
.
Twelve of us tonight and that’s with two regulars not able to attend…!
.
Grand Prix and F1
…Grand Prix

   
.
The smaller Grand Prix cars will race each other this year, Ed, Gav, Kev & Mike should have been joined by Paul’s Porsche 804, that was an oversight tonight.
As long as the cars in this class meet the width rules (7.5mm wide tyres, 53mm overall width across the tyres) they will race together.
.
A good mix of modified standard cars and cars built with resin cast bodyshells.
Ed & Paul with modified standard Cartrix cars were fairly close at the end.
In Open Class, Mike’s Mercedes W196 was too fast and consistent for Gav’s Lancia Ferrari D50.
Kev’s Mercedes W154 was the sole entrant in Prostock class.
.
…F1

   
.
The first Standard Class cars this year, Jack & Terry, had their own race for class win.
In fact it’s probably the first time in years that a pair of standard Scalextric F1’s have been raced.
.
NSR F1’s of both types seen tonight, the new 2022 version is a superb runner and looks far more stable than the shorter wheelbase 86/89 cars.  Less than four laps separated them at the end.
.
T.J. & Jake both raced cars in their own classes but still raced amongst other class cars.

   
.
Saloons

   
.
No small class cars tonight but a great mix of Saloons and Group 5’s, also a good mix of modified standard cars, Prostocks and Open Class cars.
.
I’ve started putting all Modified Class cars together, all Prostock Class cars together and all Open Class cars together otherwise the results sheets become too long and spread out.
At the end of the day all Saloons have the same limitations (tyre width) and overall car widths.
.
The club BMW 320i’s had another run tonight, they’re good race cars but we could do with some alternative cars rather than run these into the ground.
…any donations will be gratefully received, they will be setup ready to race in one class or another.
.
A trio of modified standard cars, Kev, Ed & Terry showing you don’t need an all-out pro car to have a good competitive car that is satisfying to race.
.
Seven Prostock cars, funnily enough all with SlotIt motor pods (although Chris started the evening with a Racer Nissan Skyline which broke the guide mount with a few seconds to go).
…Brian, Jack & Chris not far apart at the end of the night whilst Jake & Paul weren’t far behind them.
.
A couple of Open Class cars, Mike & Macaulay had a fairly close race for class win.
.
Another great nights racing, the newcomers are now regularly featuring amongst the more experienced racers in the final results, long may it continue.

   
.
…enjoy the two videos!
.
Just to add, TJ & the gang were away racing 1:1 scale cars this weekend, good luck guys!
