The Ultimate Scalextric Motor Racing Experience
for kids, grown-ups, and legends of slot cars past (Ages 8-98)
Important Update: We’re really sorry to say that due to a sudden and unexpected health issue, Mike is currently unwell and isn’t able to run the slot car racing this Easter week as planned.
This has come as a big disappointment to him, especially after all the hard work that’s gone into bringing this project to life — and we know many of you were excited to visit too. We have contacted all those who have already booked their race and we’ll keep you updated here when the cars — and Mike — are back up to full speed.
Thank you for your understanding.
