MORE than two hundred Scalextric fans attended the final rounds of the Scalextric World Championship.
Racers of all ages and experience tried their luck at the events in Worthing and Harlow, with the south coast showing taking place at the English Martyrs Church Hall in Goring.
After 64 ten-lap races, local schoolboy Vlad Howe was the winner, having set the fastest time of the day of 32.537 seconds.
Following close behind were Worthing father and son John and Alex Ferrigno, with times of 33.047 and 33.927 seconds respectively.
Worthing HO Racing club secretary and event organiser Andy Player said: "Vlad's winning time was impressive as he was up against plenty of seasoned Scalextric racers. It really was a day when youth triumphed over experience."
The actual world champion came from Harlow, where Essex 14-year-old Ted Trim had the best time of 2015: 24.493 seconds for a 10-lap race.
