There are races you follow.
And then there are races you feel, long after they’re over.
The Youngtimer Trophy – Group 2 (2026) at the BRM Slot Car Arena in Badia Polesine belongs to that second category. It wasn’t simply a competition defined by rankings and lap counts—it was a shared experience that brought together some of the most passionate and skilled slot racing teams on the scene.
For two days, 162 cars stopped being models in the traditional sense. They became the expression of preparation, precision, and control. Every lap carried tension. Every corner required focus. Every decision made the difference between gaining and losing ground.
And in the end, what remained wasn’t just a result.
It was a story.
A Race Built on Passion, Precision and Preparation
The numbers define the scale of the event:
- 162 cars on track
- 27 teams competing
- 6 models per team
- 3 racing tracks
But the real depth of the Youngtimer Trophy lies behind those numbers.
Each team arrived with carefully developed setups, tested and refined over time. Adjustments measured in millimeters, tire choices made for specific conditions, and a constant search for balance between speed and control.
