What is Scalextric?

Scalextric is the UK brand leader in Slot Car manufacturing. It is based on the concept of a 1/32-scale car with a guide that goes in a slot in the track. The track has metal braids on either side of the slot which feeds a 12 volt current to the small electric motor held within the car.

The only real way to describe it to someone who has truly never heard of it is to compare it to the humble train set. Now think of a train set with dual tracks so you can race them off against each other and you're getting the idea of Scalextric. The speed at which the cars race isn't fixed, it is governed by a hand held controller - try and take the corners too fast and you're bound to come spinning off the track!

Grown-ups never forget the childhood smells of hot electric motors and the brightly-coloured plastic controllers associated with Scalextric, nor do they forget the Christmas Day pleading with their elders to let them have a turn or continually replacing the cars that come flying off at the corners! Is this the reason why adults turn into the kind of parents who love to buy their children a Scalextric set for Christmas so they can play with it themselves? They believe Scalextric is wasted on their kids.

Many a bloody fight has occurred between friends trying to get their little plastic car around the track ahead of each other. Almost all Scalextric owners have tried putting both cars on the same track for no logical reason apart from the sheer stupidity of it. The whole point of Scalextric is to race the cars against each other so there is absolutely no sense in putting them in the same slot, yet still they have to try.
