Before you begin to get serious I would recommend that you take a look at the tips and tricks below, this way you are sure to get your new hobby started in the best way possible.

Pay Attention
 

Slot car racing is a lot faster than you imagine. So keep an eye out for lane changes, crossover sections and other obstacles on the track. Cars that have had a crash and is stationary on the track is also a potential danger.

Speed
 

If you crash you will lose time, meaning that you might lose the race. If you can stay on the track without any accidents you can win the race even though some of the other drivers race faster than you.

Learn the track and gradually increase your speed, learn where you can drive at top speed and where you will have to slow down.

Remember to breake before the turns and don’t expect that your car can drive the whole track with full throttle

Learn the track and the car
 

There are not two cars that react the same. Learn your car and the track, give yourself time to find the material (and your own) limitations. Which turns does your car handle well, where are your breaking points and how fast can you run on the straights. It is important to practice on the track before each race so you know exactly how to get the best result.

Maintain you car:
 

Like in a real race the setup of the car is really important. A slot car has a lot of mechanical parts. Make sure that the car is properly maintained. Remove dirt and grease the gears, then the car will perform its best. Make sure that you prepare and adjust your car correctly before each race. Remember that your car can break if it falls of the track so take good care of it.

Be prepared and focused:

 

Make sure that everything is in order before the race, that way you can focus on the contest itself. When the race starts you need to keep you cool and stay focused during the whole race, it is easy to lose a lot of time if the concentration fails.
