Scalextric in your loft, shed or garage It seems hardly a month goes by without someone asking us for advice on building a giant Scalextric layout in a garage, shed or loft. We have experience of all these, so you are welcome to call and see if we can offer some pointers as to what sort of circuit to build, layout considerations, scenery and so on. If you think you, your family or friends will be making a long term investment in Scalextric then a permanent layout is definitely worth considering. Although it takes longer to set up initially, you will get more play value in the longer term and you will be able to just go and race, rather than have to worry about putting the track together first. We can of course supply all the track, borders and accessories you need, and where necessary we will obtain some boxed sets for you as these can be a cheaper way of acquiring the required track and cars. Call or use the contact form for more information.

Scalextric event hire businesses If you are thinking about setting up a part time or full time business offering Scalextric racing to the public on a mobile or fixed-venue basis, that's an area we have done a fair bit of work in, using Scalextric digital layouts, and are happy to advise on. We can design a layout for you, digital or multi-lane analogue, and of course obtain all the cars, track and spares you will need to make your event business a success and also help you prepare for any pitfalls that may come your way by advising on aspects such as marshalling, spares and general practicalities of running Scalextric events - a complete one-stop-shop service.

Special orders, corporate events If you are considering using Scalextric products in a promotion or corporate event, please get in touch in good time. Maybe you want a large quantity of cars or sets as gifts or prizes. Perhaps you have decided to turf your car out of the garage and make a monster layout for yourself and the family. Or maybe you are organising a public racing display. We can usually arrange for large orders to be placed but generally at least a month or so's notice will be needed; and that assumes sufficient stock is available or scheduled to arrive before you require it. Some items we will be able to supply from stock and others we will back-order for you. Please note that in November and December it can be hard to source large quantities of track at short notice - you would be best to wait till the New Year after the Christmas peak demand is over. Let us know what you need and we will make enquiries for you and see what can be arranged. If you have requested something that is no longer available, we will suggest some alternatives.

This is the circuit designed here (shown in the diagram above) turned into reality at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Looks very smart! We also provided all the track and cars (Focuses) for this special Ford Motor Co display. Construction by Imagination - if you need someone to build and operate this kind of corporate slot racing showcase stand give them a call.

Kaleidoscope circuit This is another layout designed here and built by corporate entertainment company Kaleidoscope Events. This particular layout is built on two MDF sections which come apart and then lock together for transport and storage. A challenging 4-car analogue layout with equivalent lane lengths to ensure everyone has a fair chance of winning.

STIG Racing STIG Racing is a new South-west based Scalextric hire operation we have been assisting to set up their service, including designing the layout and providing all the track and cars. If you are in the South Devon area you will be able to try out their 3 lane 6 car digital racing circuit this year, see their web site for details.

Abu Dhabi circuit Early in 2009 we were also approached for assistance with building this layout (scroll down a few screens past the F1 images) for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, an enquiry which we redirected to Hornby's own marketing department because of its sheer size. Good to see it did get built though!

Recent slot car events The Brooklands circuit in Surrey hosted a slot car event in August 2009, hosted by James May, in which a new world record for a continuous slot car track was set. Here are some of the volunteers laying the track around the Brooklands banking, under the Members' Bridge This is the Scalextric track laid up the Brooklands Test Hill. An incredibly hot day saw some track sections buckling! The Slotforum stand was previewing the Scorpius wireless / Best Lane digital lane changing system Plenty of traders at the event with boxes of slot cars as far as the eye can see Other attractions included this Ayrton Senna McLaren outside the Scalextric Roadshow And a slot car a drag strip had been set up underneath Concorde with the finish line between its nose wheels
