Worthing HO Racing was launched in Febuary 2010 by Robin Cornwall and Andy Player as a not-for-profit slot car racing club for the local community to enjoy.  Since that first event, we’ve aimed to provide a competitive, fun and friendly environment to ensure everyone has a great evening’s racing.  Take a look at the video opposite to get some idea of what we get up to at the Barn.

Race format

30 minutes practice - Everyone take turns to get to know the track and gets ready for the race.

4 x 2 minute heats - racing against your competitors on each of 4 coloured lanes. Your best 3 scores determine which final you race in.

2 minute finals - determine your finishing position and points for the race.

The winner, highest-finishing junior (under 16) and top under-11 racer all receive medals.

Points go towards a championship for each class with trophies and prizes awarded at the end of the year.

HO slot cars

HO is the term used to describe the small scale of slot cars that we race. The term HO comes from model railways, meaning ‘Half-O gauge’. The first HO cars were designed to run alongside train sets.

Modern HO slot cars are near 1/64th scale and are manufactured by Tomy AFX, Micro Scalextric, Auto World and Viper. They may be small but they handle well and go fast.

Club cars are always available to use at our events. We usually have ready-to-race cars and spares in our club shop.
