Most know of it as Scaletric, the toy, but probably do not appreciate the potential as a participation event. The game is ideally suited to corporate groups, for team building, developing a client business relationship or maybe an extra activity at a party. This activity also makes an ideal centre piece at a promotion or exhibition. The event is structured into a competition with a well thought out set of rules to fit the situation. Skilled staff using computerised scoring and game management ensures a challenging tournament. Murray Walker style commentary adds to the excitement. Most of the players rise to the challenge with a genuine passion. Often perceived, as a boy's thing we can assure you this is only half-correct as women players are frequently amongst the best. Sexist remarks about lady drivers may be the motivating factor! |

We offer a mobile service that can be set up almost anywhere. Our tracks are specially built to club racing specifications. Free from car de-railing bumps and intermittent power supply faults common with popular makes of track. Sharp bends can be frustrating for novice drivers, as cars will de-slot easily. Our tracks have gentle turns even on the inside of an eight-lane circuit. Only specially built tracks can offer this. |

"Hello" Magazine Feb 2001 ran an article on Jenson Button’s 21st Birthday party. Jenson was quoted as saying "The Scalextric was great, I even managed to play on it." How did he get on? You may wonder if an F1 star can perform at this event? We had a very enthusiastic crowd that night. Running a competition to be the fastest driver over 6 laps. Competition was fierce; several men had been trading fastest times for about an hour. The rules were "crash & burn" which meant if the car came out of the slot you were out of the race. All players so far had taken a number of races to get anywhere near a win. Jenson had two races and while not taking the fastest time he won both races without incident. A remarkable start, unfortunately he was too much in demand for another go. The picture gallery has a copy of Jenson driving at the event.
