I’ve happily paid my £40 and am interested in seeing how it develops. It’s not going to be something that appeals to everyone, although the vast majority of Scalextric customers tend to be brand-loyal collectors or home racers who most probably will be tempted.

The Hornby Club loco is always one of the 0-4-0 tank engines that retail for around £28. That would be the equivalent of one of the Lightning GT Super Resistant cars for Scalextric. I am happy they’ve gone with a ‘proper’ high detail car in a real racing livery - that should appeal to as broad an audience as possible.

Looking forward to seeing what else appears on the website between now and the end of the year...
