Hello all
Any one heard any news about 2024 cars from Carrera or Scalextric and others.
I had a look online and found threads from around this time or earlier talking about 2023 cars - but so far no discussion about 2024
cheers

Scalextric is traditionally the second week of January, Carrera just before the Nuremberg Toy Fair at the end of January / beginning of Feb (starts 30 Jan this year).
I’ve covered the Scalextric launch here on SlotRacer for the past few years and hope to do the same for 2024. I try to include info about the models that is not available elsewhere. There will be some changes to the way Hornby unveil their ranges this time, which I think will please most people.
The 2023 write-up is here:

Scalextric will unveil some of their 2024-5 range on Tuesday 9 January, exact time to be confirmed. We’ll have coverage here in the News section as soon as the announcement has hit the Scalextric social media platforms.
There are also a fair few 2023-4 cars still to arrive, including new tooling. The Batmobile, Jags, Holden VL and Jim Clark triple all arrived this week, just in time for Christmas. Last post is tomorrow for most retailers - or pop in to your local stockist up until Saturday closing time.
FAB1 is expected between Christmas and New Year - perfect timing for Eastern Orthodox and Coptic Christmas celebrations on 7 Jan… also the date of the Swindon Swapmeet. Might be a few other 2023-4 cars arriving in the same shipment, so that makes Swindon a good opportunity to see most of last year’s catalogue up close.
The Scalextric Club car and 2024 catalogue will be posted out to club members on Tuesday 9 January.

The Ferrari is cool - the German forums have some chatter about the Carrera 2024 lineup.
That Ferrari will be there apparently in both 1/32 and 1/24
