Scalextric

How about this for a #FeatureFriday throwback sent to us by James?! Back in 1980, James made it to the Beatties “Search for a Scalextric Star” Grand Final in Blackpool. A nationwide competition, two age groups and the very best heading to the seaside for a grand finale. And the prize giving? Right in the middle of a beauty contest judged by Jack Charlton… different times! Who remembers Beatties?

Who remembers? 🥹

@AdamWellerComms @AutoTradition You are correct, well spotted!

@Scalextric @AutoTradition That’s a 2006 livery!

Japanese performance meets British GT 🏁 This Toyota Supra raced in the 2003 championship with Chris Dawkins and Kevin Clark behind the wheel. With its bold red, silver and white livery and the legendary twin-turbo Mk4 under the bonnet, it was never going to blend into the background. Order yours here 👉 bit.ly/4lGem79

Happy St Patrick’s Day 🍀 The grid’s looking a little more Irish today, which one are you backing for the win?

@EdwardJP23 @Mattisamazing33 ok we'll let you off

@Scalextric @Mattisamazing33 Oh god, getting beefed by Scalextric. Cards on the table, I’ve had a set since the Dukes of Hazzard one in the 80’s with the General Lee and police car that had a jump in the middle. I just want the F1 to be less electric 😂

The state of modern F1. This shouldn’t exist

@EdwardJP23 @Mattisamazing33

@Mattisamazing33 I sat thinking the exact same. It’s like scalextric

@sagitracing @startonpole

@startonpole Scalextric does it better

I think I found a solution to the battery recharge issues

@dog_bob_ @Roadrunner_F1

@Roadrunner_F1 Watching scalextric is a bit shit though.

There are people who've convinced themselves that this is fake racing

There’s always one opinion that starts an argument 🤣
