The World record Track at Brooklands was Scalextric and that was what was marked on the Boxes as they were building it. Also all the cars were scalextric.

Carrera were also represented at the other events taking place on the day scuch at the Drag strip under Concorde. This was the Pendle slot club event which was also run in 2010. See my other video.

Found the German record that was beaten. Interesting to see how different the 2 approaches were. You can find it by searching "Berlin slot car record"
