Modern Slot Cars in the Digital Groove
I used to love my little Scalextric set. I recall the Christmas the my brother and I received our first set way back in the 1960’s. We were so thrilled, I think my brother may have even wet his pants!
But slot car racing has not died out. Anything but. It is more popular today than ever before with slot car racing clubs all over the world. This is, in part, due to Scalextric allowing other manufacturers to make cars to fit their tracks. These days you can buy some truly fantastic slot cars that are based upon the real race winning sports models.
Scalextric has truly moved with the times with the introduction of their Sports Digital systems. In the basic Scalextric sets you can only ever have one car on each of the two available tracks but with the new digital system multiple cars can share the tracks. What’s more is that drivers can make their cars change lanes to overtake, using the specialised controllers.
And the advantages of digital don’t stop there. Enthusiasts can network with others around the world via the internet to compete in worldwide, multiplayer, multiland races.
Scalextric has really embraced digital technology to provide slot car racing enthusiasts with an ever more engaging and thrilling racing experience.
