Thank you Andy for another excellent introduction to the 2024 Scalextric range 
As a collector of many Historic race cars the Ford Anglia is very welcome indeed, thank you Hornby Scalextric!
So many different options available for this one, and not just race liveries. Very much looking forward to this.
The VW Golf GTI is surely a good idea, it really did define its era. It will make a super Saloon car racer ( as we called them, before Touring cars became the norm), and its a definite one for me.
The Checker Cab is great! Who would ever have thought Scalextric would be treating us to a range of models of this size.
I love Kevan's idea of a Club fun class for these big beasts, standard running gear and bad handling and all.....
Two more nice Sierra Cosworths is good, and a second Land Rover already. Please can we have one with a Harvey Frost recovery crane on the back, thank you
As for the new release format..... not really sure. It did, in all honesty, feel a bit lacklustre yesterday. And if the 2024 Hornby Scalextric catalogue is only these initial releases, with a second insert or similar, to follow, that will look and feel a bit odd. At least if it's all done in early January you get everything, and all year, to look forward to. That said I do remember posting on the Forum this time last year that if the Thunderbird FAB 1 was going to be potentially early January 2024, did that really mean it should be a 2023 release!? They can't win, can they!
Either way, I will definitely be purchasing some of yesterday's releases, and like Woodcote, already looking forward to the May set of releases with interest and excitement.
Ghostbusters Ecto 1. Definitely, maybe, unlikely, no bloody hope!
