1/32 and 1/24 Club Racing
Each club holds its own series of races on designated evenings throughout the week (See the calendar on the Home page for details of individual club events). LSCC meet on a Monday evening, WSC meet on a Tuesday evening for BSCRA racing and Thursday evening for Scalextric type racing. NLSME meet on Thursday evenings. These evening sessions are usually dedicated to racing BSCRA classes of slot car and often count towards club championships throughout the year. All racers are welcome as this is the time to learn how to Slot Car race!  

1/32 Area Round Competition
Every year, BSCRA Areas will organise an area championship for the 1/32 BSCRA classes of slot car (Novice Falcon Production, Saloon, Formula One and Sports). This will usually consist of race meetings on the second Sunday of the month at each club in the area. Depending on how many clubs wish to hold a round of the area championship, the rounds can often start in November or December and go through to March or April of the following year.

The Area 6 Championship is a prestigious and hard fought series of events. It has often been won by drivers who have then gone on to achieve success at the National Championships. The results of the area championship act as a way to determine which racers will qualify for the National Championships each year. A Novice Championship runs alongside the Overall Championship so there is something for everyone. The top Novices from the area championship also get an entry into the National Novice Production Championship.

1/32 Open Meetings (1/32 British Open Championship or 1/32 BOC)
The BSCRA organise a series of meetings, open to all members, for the 1/32 scale national classes of Saloon, Formula One and Sports. Meetings are usually a two day occasion, at weekends, throughout the year. Saturdays are dedicated to practice sessions and race day is on the Sunday. If you think you know the track well enough, you could just turn up for the race on the Sunday morning! Both LSCC and NLSME hold rounds of the 1/32 BOC series on a regular basis. The only limiting factor in this series, is that you cannot race at your home round, but the average points scores over the season of races is adjusted to compensate for this. The winner of this championship is the person with the highest average points score at the end of the series.

1/24 Open Meetings (1/24 British Open Championship or 1/24 BOC)
This is a very similar series of races to the 1/32 BOC, except this series is for 1/24 scale cars. It is open to all BSCRA members and you can even race on your home track! Due to the different format of racing, these events are held over two days, but the 1/24 Production race is held on the Saturday, with qualifying for 1/24 Open Group 12 also on the Saturday evening. You can just turn up on the Sunday and qualify for 1/24 Open Group 12 in the morning, but you have to know the track well and be fully prepared!. The fastest BSCRA class is the last to run on the Sunday and it is 1/24 Eurosport. These cars have very minimal rules and are extremely fast! The winner of this championship is the person to have scored the most points over a certain number of counting rounds, for example, the best 3 out of 4 rounds. WSC, with its 6 lane track, hosts a regular round of this series.

Southern 32 Meetings
This series was designed to give people a chance to race basic Production cars and Saloon cars, at other clubs, in a friendly, yet mildly competitive atmosphere. The events are held on Sundays and there is usually one meeting per month throughout the year at most Slot Car Clubs south of Birmingham. There is an individual event for 1/32 Production cars with either the introductory Falcon motor or a Super Wasp motor with more performance. There is also a team event for pairs of drivers using a BSCRA 1/32 Group 12 powered Saloon car with a LeMans style body shell. The atmosphere is friendly and it is a good chance to get your first experience at racing away from your home club. All the Area 6 tracks host a round of this series every year and you can just race at your home round if you want.
