This may sound odd but I've just had a nostalgia attack and wanted to
watch some cars on a slot track.
ahh the good ole days... and I'll never forgive an unnamed person for
GIVING away my Scalextric collection (8 cars, easily over 30 meters(90
feet) of track plus the extras.)
excuse me while I go away to cry..
nope sorry.. but if you're in England, goto www.bscra.co.uk (I think)
there's plenty of clubs around including the one I am at :))))

Control of the Electronic Arts game was essentially slot-car like,
from a similar perspective (though with a windowed view). The other
game admitted to being a slot car racer. In the EA game you could
"steer" from lane to lane, and use that to gain extra cornering
speed as well.
Both these games featured track editors and AI opponents. The EA game
opponents could be handicapped, sort of. In the other game, the
opponents seemed unbeatable if the track was dead simple, and
incredibly stupid otherwise. The EA graphics were good for the time,
while the other game was fairly primitive and simple-minded.
But, in spite of all that, it always did seem to me to be strange to
make a simulation of a bad simulation...
Having not got around to buying a modern PC, "Gran Turismo" (1 and 2)
have been to me everything I really wanted my slot car sets to be when
I was a ***ager. (Well, maybe it was nice occasionally racing real
opponents and often losing as a ***ager...)

I tried that toysbyphil game mentioned above.
good fun thou it's a little rough around the edges. I can only imagine
what it could become with some huge game company backing it.

I like that game too. Though it would be even better if you could have
a couple of extra types of track section - the crossover and the
skid chicane. Vertical loops would be a bonus :-)

Since you seem to know him, have you suggested that he do the '67 season?
Bart Westra
As it's a hobby I guess he has the right to determine his preferences but
gee, I'd love to see a line-up of his cars in 1967 liveries. Maybe one day
he'll have the time to do it.
