[Slot Cars] Hornby sign rights to A1 GP

[Mackmot]

I read yesterday that Hornby/Scalextric have signed the rights to make scale models of the A1 GP cars for slot car racing.

That should be pretty cool for awareness

Yeah, the A1 GP set will be a miles better seller than the current generation F1 sets I'd imagine.

Will be great for A1GP's publicity, especially in this country, as you say.

I though Scalextric's involvement with Team GBR was a dead cert at the start of the season, so I was disappointed when it didn't happen. I guess they wanted to wait and see.

I thought they could change their logo colours on the GBR car ... scALEXtric looked good to me

Scalextics always been cool. I used to have a basic track and a few cars. I have no idea where it came from, or where it went for that matter... Anyhow, now that I'm older, and have some space I might just have to get myself a new track! I used to have tiny cars too, so they still do these? The only one I can remember was a little fire truck, and the smell it made if you throttled up and held the truck in place, mmmmm burning!
