Giant Scalextrics

Model slot car racing is great fun for just about everyone, both genders and ages 4 to 94. When a wide age range is at the same function, play is often split into groups; Children, Ladies, Gents. Giving all a turn and preventing children pushing to the front and playing non-stop. Also adults appear embarrassed to win or lose against a child for some reason! Contrary to the "boys thing" image, lady players are surprisingly enthusiastic, no reversing is a help, obviously.

Equipment that works well and looks good is very important to the success of the event. The other vital element is a person who using the computerised scoring and PA equipment to give a race commentary can organise the event. The skill of the race director can make a good event, exceptional.

The computerised scoring is a great help to get the most from the event. Our software is unique to miniracing. It has been constantly improved over the years so that it does exactly what a professional entertainer needs in all situations. Many events are different, Childrens party, summer ball, executive team building event, product launch event. Whatever the situation we have the computerised solution and the staff who know what to do.

We have 6 or 8 lane tracks, which suit relatively small to quite large group sizes. To date our smallest group size is 6. We recommend larger groups (15 45 people). Players in larger groups usually take it in turns, enjoying a break from the intensive play. More players gives greater atmosphere, time to relax and chat, drink, eat etc. On a practical note more players reduces the price per head.

If Giant Scalextric is the only entertainment, a large group will play enthusiastically for 1 2 hours. A game plan giving individuals 8 qualifying heats, followed by the top 8 drivers going through to a final set of 8 heats works well. This is one of the many game styles our bespoke computerised scoring greatly simplifies. The Race Director will choose the best option on the day.

Contractually we normally quote for up to 3 hours of game play. We are always happy to quote for extended running time.


With larger groups additional entertainment is recommended, maybe more tracks or just other things, Fun casino, simulator machines, table football, disco, band etc.


Suitable For:

* Award dinners and parties provide another excellent opportunity for fast-paced fun.

* Annual company fun days! A daytime function with entertainment running inside and outside. A Giant Scalextric track would fit in perfectly!

* The Christmas party. Dinner, disco, casino and Giant Scalextric are almost standard now.
