Drive Like Lewis Hamilton
Cars pelting into the bends at high speed, nose to tail. It’s too close to tell who will cross the finish line first. And the Peugeot 307 takes the Nissan skyline after a tussle on the final straight.
We could be listening to the commentary from the latest international motorsport event. But this is the kind of heart pounding excitement that can be enjoyed with a Scalextric set at home.
Scalextric have been in the slot car racing business for over fifty years. Elvis was a great fan having a whole room dedicated to his system at Graceland.
But the latest state of the art digital slot car racing systems from Scalextric are far more advanced than the basic analog systems that Elvis raced fifty years ago.
Todays digital Scalextric cars are fitted with tiny microprocessors that allow multiple cars to share the same track for a more realistic, bumper to bumper racing experience. The new digital circuits have sections that allow cars to change lanes and overtake. They even come with pitstop facilities for added realism.
You may have thought of slot car racing as a hobby for geeks, but it is gaining in popularity as the new digital systems allow racers to compete over the internet. Modern systems are versatile, robust and reliable enabling you to create elaborate circuits that are fun and challenging.
And Scalextric systems are not only fantastic fun to set up and race, they are very educational. Not only do they teach the basics of electrical circuits and how to set them up they help youngsters to understand the intricacies of driving and racing cars at high speed. Slot car customisation is something that many enthusiasts get into.
Slot car racing with Scalextric is a great hobby that can be enjoyed by boys, girls, young and old.
