Hello all I am new to slot cars (though I did have a scaletrix set when I was 10+) I have purchased a new set with additional track from Carrera 1/32-1/25 Digital and I have also just obtained the software SmartRace. I am now (3 months) a retired Aeronautical Engineer.
So bottom line is I don't know what I am doing in this hobby!

Hi Joey,
You remind me of my experience, I had a Scalextric track when I was a young lad. Kinda lost interest for the next 50 years, and then when I retired suddenly found myself back into it again, probably also due to my engineering background and love of fast cars

Welcome JoeyD
The good thing is you can start enjoying it today and not think you've missed out all these years... as I often used to think.
Life is like a box of Slot cars...

Welcome Joey,
Aging is mandatory. Maturity is optional.
There's a little kid in each of us. Don't forget to feed the children.

Welcome mate….. this confirms that there is no cure, there is no pill.
Go where your interest and imagination take you.
