A small addendum to Jason's comments: the colder Sclaextric "Classic" track, also called "spoon" or "loop" connectors will only work in conjunction with the C8222 conversion track.
Older Spanish SCX track is more or less the same as "classic" and can be used with the converter as well.
HOWEVER
The surfaces of all these tracks is different. I know know of at least 3 different Hornby Scalextric track surfaces and the SCX track is different as well.
the biggest problem on all of these though is the slot is shallower by 2-3 mm making it hard for newer cars (including Hornby Scalextric's latest) to run well (the "bottom" out).
So while it is technically possible to connect them it is usually not a good idea.
When you add in that the track has to have very good (read: perfect) power flow in digital adding in older Classic track is usually not a good idea.
