I agree - the bigger, longer track used for the let’s go racing event plus the race-off for the Scalextric Gulf set was too long at about 14 seconds for a lap.  The racers were too strung out around the track for any kind of cut-and-thrust racing and there was very little overtaking due to the terrible conductivity around the track - it was a case of full throttle everywhere except for 2 or 3 corners.

The Slot Track Scenics track was a joy in comparison with some very tricky sections that really needed driving and a wicked R1 at end of the long straight that was guaranteed to catch out most novices.

It would be a good track except there were a few blind  spots even for those of us over 6 feet tall.  But if we ran it as a club track the magnets would have to go ...

As a track to show off their scenic items it was perfect - a joy to look at all the little people scenes when I wasn’t racing.
