The 2022 ISRA Slot Car #worldchampionships are nearly upon us. I am off to Latvia soon to compete. I have started my preparation and wanted to share these tips about preparing for some of the races. If you have #races where you have to use "handout" #chassis and #motors then there are some tips for you in this video. I have also included footage of the #track that will be used for the world championships and you can see a #qualifying run by one of the top teams.
