Can't afford the Monaco Grand Prix? Get down Aldersley Stadium for Scalextric racing
For race fans who cannot make it to the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend the next best thing is being held in Wolverhampton.
More than 30 cars from around the Midlands will be competing in the Wolverhampton Scalextric and Slot Car Club open championship at Aldersley Stadium on Sunday.
Slot car owners and members of the public are invited to the event which starts at 10am and will finish with the grand final at 4pm.
Malcolm Scotto, from the club, said: "We might be called the Wolverhampton Scalextric Club but the slot cars we are racing are bit more advanced and faster than normal Scalextric cars.
"We focus on slot cars from race-oriented brands such a NSR and Slot it because these models are built for club racing and come with better quality components instead of a Scalextric slot car which is more suited to home use.
"No disrespect intended, most of us graduated to Club Racing having got the Slot Car “bug” through having a ‘Scalextric’ set as a kid."
He added: "Our Aldersley Stadium GT days are wonderful, we will be in the Claregate Building and everyone is welcome."
