Guys,
For the first time in a while I'm excited about a new Scalextric line-up, primarily because of changes they have made to technical aspects of the design of their standard cars. These include several relatively minor things, all of which will lead to better-performing cars.
Another reason for my excitement are some of their new cars, including a line of British Touring Car Championship cars (Honda Civic Type R, BMW 125, MG6 and VW Passat), perfect for running in our Mod Prod class. Other cars of interest are the BMW E30 (Mod Prod), AMC Javelin (Historic Saloon, American Muscle) and Ford XY Falcon (Historic Saloon, Mod Prod).
Read about all the changes and see the new upcoming cars here.

Re: Scalextric improves technical aspects of new cars
Read about the new cars and the changes for 2016.Very interesting. Some of the explanations for the spec. changes are hilarious though, for example on the change from sidewinder to inline, they declare that this now 'gives power to the whole axle' !!
