they did have it when we were kids - i used to squirt wd40 on the track

have you tried driving a modern scalextric car against an old one? they grip far too well. no chance of wheel spins or drifts normally (even though they've got welded diffs )

LOL...

I have an original Mini in Box from pre 80..

Its fucking mental - in a straight line it comes to a corner and just hangs the arse and thats the end of that...

Fucking hilarious just giving it full throttle and watching it bounce up and down trying to get grip and then it just fucks off fish tailing.

I think the rear diff and axle combo may be bent- anyone recommend a good breaker or uprated item? PMSL

trust me, the drift one we got at work is proper scalextric, proper box, proper track, and 2x 350Zs.

and its fucking gay

then again all scalextric is in my eyes so maybe in not the best judge

They had similar years ago with Mini's or stock cars so it's nothing new just relaunched. Wonder if they'll do that with the pitstop and Le Mans start. Used to be able to get articulated lorries as well when I was a kid.

Race and chase was the daddy I used to have that and my cousin. can't beat a huge ramp in the middle of the track that you can use to make the cop car crash
