Create your dream Scalextric track
With Christmas nearing, thoughts turn to presents, and whilst Christmas is generally the time for giving, it is also a nice time of year to reward and treat yourself.
It is also the one magical time of year when adults can abandon their ‘grown-up’ status and indulge that child inside.
There are so many great possibilities with Scalextric, from the style of track you build, to the type of cars you run on it, each option provides a different experience.
We found the following video on YouTube of a four track drift circuit, which features four minis battling it out to be the ‘Last Mini Standing’:
The whole setting has been so well thought out, with all the little extras from the trees to the street lighting adds a fantastic ambiance that really sets the scene.
So just how can you create a similar scene yourself? The Sport World track designer is a great piece of software which helps you to create your perfect Scalextric track from your own PC.
You can also download a free version of the Scalextric track designer from the official Scalextric website. Its quite good, but can be a bit buggy. I’ve designed a few tracks which should fit together but never quite do!

The right lighting can make a great difference, setting the mood and the ambience of a room. Worth investing in a few tasteful table lamps

I used to spend hours during my childhood with my electric cars and my scalextric track. Must be one of the oldest brands in the market.
