It's the first of December - so that means the start of the Scalextric advent calendar!
As usual, it promises to feature competitions, sneak peeks and exclusive content - a door to open each day leading up to Christmas:

Behind the first door is the official December 2021 Scalextric wallpaper - using an image from Hub's fabulous Swedish rally track...
There are images individually sized for most monitors - all available for you to download here:

I wish they would make a rally car next year, but I think the chances of that are slim.

Day 3. The Scalextric team start their annual championship - and they race magnet-free…
Some very dodgy car choices there! Having driven the Porsche and the ‘Vette, I reckon those two will meet in the final… although it’ll depend on the driver.
