Scalextric

#ThrowbackThursday takes us back to the 1996 Scalextric catalogue 📖 Formula One, Jaguar and Ferrari, Euro touring cars, plus a whole range of trackside buildings and scenery. There was plenty to choose from that year 👀 Who remembers flicking through this catalogue back in the day?

From the real circuit to the Scalextric track! 🌎 With the United States Grand Prix taking place in Austin over the weekend, here's how Gatsby's Garage recreated the Circuit of the Americas using Scalextric!

A summer visit to The WonderWorks was all it took to get Russ and his son Joel hooked on Scalextric! They packed away the model railway (sorry Hornby) and turned their garage space into this layout instead 😎 Plenty to enjoy for now with hopefully even more room to expand in the future 👀

A rare chance to add something very special to your Scalextric collection 👀 We’ve supplied four Scalextric prototypes, along with a Ford Motorsport Transit and Escort Mk1 Twin Car Set, for an upcoming auction being run by Best Model Toys. The auction is live across EasyLive and The Saleroom, with all five lots available to view now. Take a look here 👉 bit.ly/4iyQUIX

Two Lotus icons. One legendary driver. Take a closer look at the new Ronnie Peterson Lotus Twin Car Set, featuring the Lotus 72 from Monaco 1974 and the ground effect Lotus 79 from Austria 1978, both finished in the famous black and gold livery.

COTA, recreated in Scalextric form! Gatsby’s Garage has taken on the Circuit of the Americas, bringing Austin’s famous layout to life with Scalextric track 😍

#ThrowbackThursday and another look through the 1991 Scalextric catalogue 📖 Alpine rallying, Batman sets, classic Sierras and a full line up of trackside accessories. There was a lot going on in the range that year! Who remembers looking through this one? 👀

A countryside classic with a little extra character 🐑 The Land Rover Series 1 Shaun the Sheep brings the much loved Aardman character to the Scalextric track in a brilliantly different way. Shop now 👉 bit.ly/4qxTGPZ

Russell’s rally circuit is looking spot on 👀🏁 The Scalextric Ford Puma Rally1 cars look right at home here, winding their way through a proper forest stage setup. Check out our range of rally cars here 👉 uk.scalextric.com/catalogue/…

A bit of #MondayMotivation from Phil 👏 He built this brilliant Scalextric setup for the grandkids and safe to say they’ve got a pretty good circuit to race on! Who else started building a layout for the kids and ended up enjoying it just as much? 👀

Only six weeks into the hobby and Russ has already got this garage setup looking the part 👏 There’s still plenty he wants to add, with plans to extend the layout when time allows. Not a bad start at all! What would you add next? 👀

A proper bit of British motoring nostalgia 🕰️ The C4617 Ford Anglia 105E recreates the vibrant green car driven by Theo Paphitis at Goodwood in 2018. Does anybody remember seeing this one at Goodwood? 👀 Get yours here 👉 bit.ly/48MY1Zu

Jonathan sent us this brilliant layout and the buildings are the real standout #FeatureFriday He scratch built them all himself, only buying the doors, windows and guttering to finish them off. What do you think of the finished setup? 🤔

One of the most anticipated Scalextric releases in a long time is finally here 👀 The Ford Motorsport Transit and Escort Mk1 Twin Car Set is now in stock, pairing two icons of rallying history in one box. The Escort Mk1 comes loaded on a trailer behind the Transit, and yes, you can actually drive the whole combination around your Scalextric track. It’s a brilliant nod to the support vehicles that were just as much a part of rally life as the cars competing on the stages. Shop now 👉 bit.ly/4dAIb6m

Now this is a proper loft setup from Daniel 👀🏁 Imagine having this waiting for you every time you went up into the loft 👌 What are you rating it out of 10?

Time for another Will It Drift? 👀💨   This time we’re putting the C4674 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) from 2 Fast 2 Furious to the test.   It certainly looks the part, but can it actually hold a slide around the Scalextric track?   Get yours here 👉 bit.ly/4zk5xGq

What a weekend at Marina Bay! After Max Verstappen took victory in Singapore, here’s a look at how Gatsby’s Garage brought the Marina Bay Street Circuit to life using Scalextric track 👏
