​AFX at Nuremberg International Toy Fair

​Possibly the most exciting news to hit UK shores for the HO community.
A deal to distribute AFX in Europe has been made with the German arm of Horizon Hobbies. Some details are still be thrashed out, part of the reason AFX were in Nuremberg, but the deal is done.
Exactly when stuff hits the UK is not yet decided. In an ideal world it would roll out just behind Germany, which is April (on-shelf in May), but it is a complex business even in these times where the EU is one territory.
The Endurance Champions set will be followed by a set with two new LMP1 shapes, of similar size to and replacing the current Super Coupes set.
There will be 8 initial cars sold separately, available through Horizon too. Things like the recent Matmut 908 and 'launch' Sauber. Sets will include the three-stage power supply, with 8V, 12V and 22V. The plug for Germany already exists, the UK does not, which may affect dates.
Looking ahead at least two more 908s are planned. There will sadly be no follow-up to the R8s. Decisions on looking at more Euro-centric series like DTM and WTCC, now the range is to be sold here, will follow as the year progresses.
AFX continue to look at some minor tweaks to the controllers and track, and a new barrier idea. Also the decision to bring out the track in dark grey.
AFX and Horizon are working on something which is a complete game-changer. It was still being worked on in its prototype mode the day before the fair. The new kit consists of an app which counts down at the moment but will include just about every bell and whistle one can think of in due course, including saving data. The app will be Apple first, Android later. It combines with holographic projection to read which car has come into the pits and shows a crew of guys working on the car, including one scenario where the car catches on fire. There are start lights and fireworks too, and much, much more to come.
AutoWorld were also at the Toy Fair and announced that it will also be sold in Mainland Europe, further to more compliance testing. No idea when or where.

THORL - The HO Racing League Launched - A New Beginning

In the summer of 2014, responsibility for running EAHORC was handed to Andy Whorton, Marc Townsend and Andy Player by it's founder Deane Walpole.

Following a great years racing and another successful UK Slot Festival Andy Player has unfortunately had to step down.

This and the other changes including the launch of new products and the introduction of a new club and venue felt like the perfect time to make the changes we believe are required to shape an organisation that will best serve the hobby and our fellow enthusiasts now and into the future.

The HO Racing League is that organisation, intended to reflect the current scene and utilising the venues and equipment of the previous regime while always striving to grow and improve.

With a calendar currently based in the Southern part of the UK, all clubs from the UK are welcome to partake. Points will be scored for both individuals and for their respective clubs.

The HO Racing League will be using existing tried and tested formulae as a basis for its racing formats and rules.

We will continue to use new products as soon as they are available and evaluated.

The EAHORC Website will continue to function as a historical record. www.eahorc.com
