 A repeat. This is an old entry from November, 11. And I still like it. Worth repeating. Guess what: All the links still work!Slot Car Racing! When I was about 4 - 5 years old, my father once brought home a Scalextric Racing track. It came with two Lotus Formula 1 cars (or was it Vanwall?), and the little plastic drivers inside the cars actually leaned into the bends. That was great fun. Later on, when I was 14, I got a german Carrera 1:24 track, 4 lanes and you could tune the cars with softer wheels or high-tuned 'engines'.
Back to Scalextric, because Carrera isn't much available here in England. At The Slotcar Race Place at Anders Lattermann you can find a lot of Scalextric track layouts as PDF files. This site is definitely worth a visit. And this Slot Cars Site is another site about slot cars. If you want to tune the cars, have a look at Slotcarracing - Your favourite slot car.
Good grief...this is really nerd stuff. But very enjoyable. Definitely more fun than Playstation.
