Win a Grand Prix Just Like Lewis Hamilton
Cars hurtling into corners at the speed of sound with hardly a hairs breadth between them. The race has been close from start to finish and its impossible to tell who will reach the line first. And the Porsche 997 takes the checkered flag just a millisecond ahead of the Nissan 350Z.
We could be listening to the commentary from the latest televised rally championships. 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. Elvis could only dream of the capabilities of todays digital slot car racing systems.
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. Tracks have sections in which cars can change lanes and overtake at full speed. New systems even have pitstop facilities.
These new digital systems allow racers to compete over the internet and this is making the hobby increasingly popular and appealing to an ever growing fan base. Modern systems are versatile, robust and reliable enabling you to create elaborate circuits that are fun and challenging.
And don’t overlook the educational aspects of a Scalextric system. 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. Many slot car enthusiasts get into customising their cars to get that little bit of extra speed.
Slot car racing is open to everyone, young, old, boys and girls.
