Formed in 1978, we’ve been racing 1:32 scale Scalextric-type slot cars ever since. New members are always welcome, so come along and visit us. We’re pretty sure you’ll be very glad you did!
Slot car racing – or “Scalextric” as it’s often called in the UK – is a wonderful hobby, inexpensive when compared to many, that provides loads of fun, satisfaction and competition, plus you’ll meet a new group of like-minded friends too. Whether you’re young or old, male or female, rich or poor, you’ll fit in. It truly is a hobby open to all.
Slot cars – so called because they run around a track guided by a slot – have come a long way since Scalextric became a household name in the 1960s. Now we have many more manufacturers producing cars to race, still in 1:32 scale and still designed to run on the same type of track, but with detail and mechanical parts far better than that of cars from years past. The Italian brands NSR, Slot.it and Thunderslot, the French brand Sideways and Spain’s Scaleauto, plus many more, have given us a vast choice of models, spares and performance upgrades to choose from.
Despite our name we don’t just race Scalextric cars, we race other brands of 1:32 scale slot cars too. Molesey Scalextric Club has evolved over the years and we now race primarily the more performance oriented cars from the likes of NSR, Slot.it, Scaleauto and Sideways.
In addition to our weekly club nights we host several weekend race meetings throughout the year, either as individual events promoted by us and open to members of other clubs and anyone else who wants to take part, or as a round of a national series of races.
