Interview with Scalextric Brand Manager at Hornby -
Scuderia_Turini - 17th-Jan-22
Not seen this mentioned but Dave Kennedy (previously a Hornby rep in North America) has interviewed Simon Owen.
I pleasantly surprised to hear that he is an active slot-car enthusiast.
Topics are wide-ranging and the conversation flows easily and openly.
Referencing TV/Movie cars, Simon points out that many more people watch TV and Movies than go to Racetracks.

I have met Simon both times I made it to Gaydon.
Nice guy and definitely into slot cars!
He features on more than one episode of "Hornby: A Model World" as well...

Thanks Leo, well done for finding that interview.
I really enjoyed that. Relaxed and informal, but interesting and amusing.
