 | | |  | SCALEXTRIC IN SPAIN
If you are in Spain or if you are going on holiday to Spain, please note that the slot car racing system you will find sold there as "Scalextric" (with the branding and logo as shown here) is what virtually everyone else knows as the SCX system. Visit the SCX-Tecnitoys web site for that system. Whilst SCX analogue products are compatible with "UK" (Hornby) Scalextric, the SCX Digital System is completely different to Scalextric Sport Digital and although a good stand-alone system, is not compatible with Hornby Scalextric. |  | Superslot = "Hornby Scalextric in Spain" In Spain if you want to find the system that the rest of the world knows as Scalextric Sport Digital, you need to look for products branded Superslot - see the Hornby Superslot web site - where you will find products from this site with Spanish packaging and descriptions, and the same product numbers but largely beginning with an S rather than a C - the image here shows a C7036 Hornby Scalextric lanechanger in Spanish packaging, with reference number S7036. |  | This image shows an SCX Digital start straight with fuel/timing tower, grey track and painted pit lane. This is all incompatible with both SCX analogue and Hornby Scalextric. The naming issue is a long standing dispute dating back to pre-EEC days when apparently Spain prevented foreign firms from establishing their brand names there. Yes, it is completely crazy. The history is all neatly summarised in this family tree and it's still the subject of discussion even in the 21st century. Resumen para los lectores españoles: Scalextric Digital español no es compatible con Hornby Scalextric Digital. En España, Hornby Scalextric Digital se nombra Superslot. Scalextric español es fabricado por Tecnitoys, que es una diversa compañía. | For the quickest service please order and pay on line (rather than by phone), as this method checks against available stock, reserves items for you and sends you automated acknowledgements.
