A giant scalextric is a unique entertainment option for a variety of ages. A giant scalextric is basically giant games of slot car racing! They are a great alternative to standard inflatable games or other party games and are relatively inexpensive.
Scalextric originated in 1952 from the Scalex brand of Minimodels Ltd., which was powered by a clockwork system. This means that it used a series of gears to mechanically power each car. They basically took the words Scalex and electric, and combined them to form Scalextric.
In 2004, Scalextric introduced Scalextric Sport Digital. This is a track where up to 6 digital cars can be raced in a single slot. There are slot lane changing tracks that allow the cars to change from one slot to another. Since then, the giant games, scalextric tracks and f1 simulator tracks have been produced, making them a fun interactive activity for parties and other entertainment purposes.
If you are unsure of how to operate it, or if your kids are able to do it on their own, you can use a leisure hire or simulator hire company to help you run the game. Included in the giant games hire you will get typically get an operator who will manage the event, including competitions, and races, letting you focus on the kids or other aspects of the event.
The track is computer controlled, keeping records of lap times, race winners and championship points. The scalextric is suitable for party events, corporate team building, promotional events and any other event that you can think of, making it a great activity for all ages.
