Silverstone comes to Marlow

Are you the fastest Scalextric driver in the Marlow area? Could you drive the day's fastest lap around Silverstone?

On Saturday November 28th, from 10.30 – 4.30, the MND Association’s Chiltern Branch will be running the Marlow Scalextric Grand Prix in the Liston Hall in Marlow. It’s a new fundraising and awareness-raising event, for racing enthusiasts from 8 to 80.

Racing on a 6m x 4m Scalextric scale model of Silverstone, the electronic timing system will record fastest laps and there will be a terrific prize for the fastest lap of the day (kindly donated by the Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team).

Alongside the racing, the charity is running a Mega Motorsport Auction with prizes donated from, among others, BWT Alpine F1 team, Mclaren F1 team, Silverstone Circuit, DriftLimits, CarChaseHeroes, and Goodyear.

The events are sponsored by Quality Pumps in High Wycombe and GC Partners in London.

Martin Goodwill, Chair of the Chiltern Branch says “We’re incredibly grateful to both our headline sponsors and for the help of all our supporters. It promises to be a fun day with friends racing against friends and family members competing with each other on the track for the 2026 bragging rights. We hope to make it an annual event that will also raise funds to support the 50 people living with Motor Neurone Disease in the Chilterns today.”

Anyone interested in racing on the day can book now via Eventbrite by searching for “Marlow Scalextric Grand Prix”. Timed slots are limited so early booking is highly recommended.

Anyone looking for some very special motorsport lots (remember, Christmas is coming) can view, and bid for, the auction lots on GiveWheel today, searching for “Marlow Scalextric GP Auction”. The auction closes at 5pm on Saturday 28th November.
