Scalextric, via its division Hornby America, imports 1/32 scale slot cars manufactured for the US market by prime companies in Spain, England, and Italy.
(For those preferring "public transportation," Sclextric is also a major source of French and other European trains and train sets, gauged for the American market!) Scalextric made its most recent mark in 2004 with its digital track system, which permits as many as 6 cars to race simultaneously on a 2-track course. Using this system, racers can pass, change lanes, and use other strategies to increase the excitement of racing. They can pull off for pit stops and brake just like real racing cars. A taste of competition from Europe! Scaletrix has provided racing fun for many years.
