As Brian pointed out earlier, I was astonished to see a couple of heavily modified Pioneer Slot Cars (yellow Mustang and Black Camaro) whizzing around the Tyneside Slot club track. Been scratching my head trying to work out if that was deliberate or simply that nobody noticed. If nobody on the production team or nobody at Hornby HQ noticed then that is a real howler.

I might have a look back through some of the earlier programmes and see if I can spot a Revell Spitfire in the Airfix episode. 'Other model airplane kits are also available'.

Hey Jules, Tyneside Slot Car club is me, I was the guy on the TV, Callum is my Son, they were his Pioneer cars, one more modified than the other.

To answer your question, yes the production company knew, I actually made a point in saying that a routed wood track and a range of slot cars wasn't for sure a true representation of Scalextric. The vibe they wanted however was showing where it can lead to, it being a toy in the house to a custom built slot car raced at a club with members.

They said the series was created due to a re-kindling of interested across the brand and wanted to promote and demonstrate the fun associated with that, so they weren't that bothered it wasn't actuall Scalextric branded cars.

Brian Lee who also featured with his scratch built cars as well as his Scalextric collection, is a member of the club and races regularly

All good fun !!, Cheers
