The Australian Scalextric Club was formed in 1992 by a small group of like minded people in Sydney, New South Wales. This core group of people that gathered together as strangers on that day did not realise the consequences of their actions into creating a club that now reaches a world audience with its web site and monthly hard copy newsletter.

The club’s motto ‘In the spirit of friendly competition and mutual co-operation’ was developed early in the club’s history.

In Sydney and regional areas across Australia, the Club has become successful in putting people in touch with others, enabling them to meet regularly to buy, race, swap and repair these 1:32 scale racing models in their homes, garages, lofts and basements or wherever they can build a temporary or permanent circuit.

With the wide variety of slot cars now avaialble, Race meetings can take various forms depending on the host or group’s interest. Race formats may include, Road or Rally, Touring, Leman’s Enduro style or even Trucks and Motorcycles. The dillema is in deciding, especially today with not only so many new slot car releases but the large selection of slot cars available from the 'golden age' of racing through the 1960’s and 70’s.

Many of the tracks are fully landscaped and can truly be called a miniature model racing circuits.
The beauty of the club is that you do not have to own a track to be a member, even if you do not own particular cars that are being raced, a 'loaner' car is usually provided.

The ASRCC keeps all members informed of new releases, tuning and repair tips as well as provides a classified section for sale and wanted in its monthly newsletter Club Lines. Its sponsors too provide discounts to members or notify the members of specials.

One of the major club events of the year is the annual club auction. The auction is held in Sydney and lists huge numbers of new, second-hand and obsolete cars, track and equipment providing members with an opportunity to pick up a bargain as well as providing an ideal time to meet socially and catch up with members whose names often appear in the newsletters as contributors.

Another major event and highlight of the year is the A.S.R.C.C. Grand Prix. This prized competitive event sees members from all over Australia attend in the hope of taking home a trophy.

Special events include various race series such as the V8 Supercar Series, Ford versus Holden being run on various tracks over Sydney during the year.

The Club caters for all ages, family memberships are available and drivers at the moment on the Sydney race meetings are as young as 8 years old and rises in age to some in their 70’s.

By joining one thing is assured, you will have fun.
