Last – but certainly not least – is Micro Scalextric.
The 1:64 scale system continues to develop after a complete re-design for 2019. The first two years focused almost entirely on younger racers – with the promise that older HO enthusiasts would have their own treats, if the new range proved successful.
Although we’ve already had two James Bond sets with very cool Aston Martin and Jaguar cars, I am delighted to report that there’s new tooling for three more ‘real’ cars in the 2022 catalogue – a Lamborghini Huracán Evo, a Porsche 911 Turbo and the Formula-E Spark2...
These will be available in two new sets – ‘Super Speed Race’ and ‘Formula E’ – both scheduled for the summer. The Formula-E liveries will be Sébastien Buemi’s Nissan and Oliver Turvey’s NIO. Both sets share a ‘racing’ layout with a lap counter and no loops. They are battery powered (a mains upgrade pack is available) and have a RRP of £64.99.
There’s also a return of the big double-loop Micro Scalextric set – renamed ‘The Race for Gotham’ and features Batman and Joker cars. The RRP for this is £74.99 and the scheduled release is also for the summer. Like the other new sets, it is battery powered to make it ready to use for customers worldwide – wherever AA batteries are available. Don’t forget, these 1:64 scale sets are the best-sellers in the entire Scalextric range.
An orange Huracán and a white Porsche will be sold as individually-packaged cars, plus the previously available Warner Brothers individual cars remain in the catalogue – a new batch being manufactured for 2022.
And that – I think – is your lot. I hope you've enjoyed the extra content, rather than just having pictures and listings. Huge thanks to Simon and the whole team at Scalextric for helping me to prepare this preview for SlotRacer Online. I also want to congratulate them for an exciting catalogue in these difficult times – and wish them luck getting everything manufactured and delivered in the next twelve months. However, a lot of that is probably out of their hands...
You can expect to see more photographs of prototypes and pre-production samples on SlotRacer during the year.
