Hot Rod World Qualifier at Wimbledon

Spedeworth International plays host to the awesome National Hot Rods when the top drivers in the sport descend on Wimbledon Stadium on Sunday March 13th at 5pm for Round 9 of the World Championship Qualifying series.

The incredibly powerful National Hot Rods are the pinnacle of the non-contact formulas that race at Wimbledon. With their full race engines developing over 200bhp in cars weighing just 700kg the Rods are capable of enormous bursts of speed ensuring the drivers have their hands full as they navigate the tight Plough Lane circuit with mere inches between the competing cars and the ever present danger of the car-crunching safety fence. Mistakes are expensive, with cars that cost upward of £20,00 to build, but this does not prevent the National Hot Rod pilots from putting the pedal very firmly to the metal as they go all out to secure a spot on the World Final grid.

While the National Hot Rod pilots look upon any contact with horror, the Stock Car drivers take just the opposite view as they put their heavy metal front bumpers to good use around the Plough Lane circuit. The Stock Cars have provided some bruising racing action this season and always provide a night’s full-on action when they appear at Wimbledon Stadium.

The Stock Rods will round off a great night’s action when these budget rods take to the Plough Lane circuit. These entry level Hot Rods are not far from standard road going machines, powered by 1300-1400cc engines, but they still deliver some of the closest racing to be seen on the short circuit oval.

With three formulas in action and the chance to see the National Hot Rods in a World Qualifying event, Spedeworth South delivers another great night’s racing at Wimbledon Stadium, Britain’s finest stock car racing circuit.
