Scalextric Racing, located in Spalding, is a thrilling racetrack and model car play area that offers an exciting experience for people of all ages. Operated by Electric Tracks Ltd, this facility provides a unique opportunity for visitors to race around world-famous racetracks without the risk of personal injury.
Spanning an impressive 6000 square feet, Scalextric Racing can accommodate various requests for different occasions. Whether you're looking for a birthday venue, a corporate meeting space, or simply a place to have a fun race, this track has got you covered. Additionally, they have a wide range of Scalextric and Carrera slot cars in stock, along with sets and track pieces to enhance your own layouts at home. The knowledgeable staff is well-versed in both brands and can also assist with car repairs and servicing.
The main attraction at Scalextric Racing is their race series, which costs 12 per person. This series allows racers to experience all eight tracks, spending eight minutes on each track. To ensure fairness, race cards are randomly assigned, determining the lane colours for each group. This rotation of colours keeps the races exciting and different for every session.
The objective is to complete as many laps as possible within the given time, highlighting that it's not always about speed. At the end of each race, participants record their laps on their race cards and proceed to the next track. After completing all eight tracks, the laps are totaled to determine the champion.
Typically, the entire race series takes approximately 90 minutes to complete, and each table can accommodate a maximum of four racers. However, during busy periods, it is advisable to allow up to two hours for your visit. While Scalextric Racing provides cars for racing, they also allow visitors to bring their own cars. It is important to note that the track's lap counters use reed switches, which may not be compatible with all slot cars.
Modern Scalextric and Carrera cars generally work well with these lap counters.
The track layouts at Scalextric Racing are replicas of famous circuits around the world. One such circuit is the Sydney Motorsport Park in Australia, with an average length of 52. 2 feet and 102 laps equalling 1 mile. This track is a testament to the attention to detail and authenticity that Scalextric Racing aims to provide.
