Scalextric brings the thrill and excitement of motor racing to life in your living room!

Are you new to the exciting world of Scalextric, or rediscovering a childhood passion? Not sure where to start?

Then read on for everything that you need to know about Scalextric. Strap in and start your engines…

What is Scalextric?

Scalextric is the ultimate motor racing system for all ages, where miniature cars race against each other on special track, getting their power from a slot in the middle of each lane (you will sometimes hear Scalextric called slot racing).

Choose from a range of sets, from starter My First racing sets to our revolutionary ARC App Race Control system controlled from your smart phone or tablet.

Begin with a Scalextric set, which contains everything you need to get started, then you can add new cars, track pieces and accessories to build your ultimate layout.

The speed of each car is controlled by a simple trigger handset – press harder to go faster and beat your opponent, but be careful not to fly off on the corners!

Decide how you want your circuit to look, clip the track pieces together, plug in the transformer and you’re off – no two races are the same.
