8 Lane Scalextric Slot Racer Track: The Ultimate Team Building Gadget
6:20AM Sean Fallon | The 8 Lane Scalextric track from the Events House is being touted as one of the best on the planet–and I don’t doubt it. The track is computer controlled and it will keep records of lap times, race winners and championship points. Unfortunately, it is only available to rent for events like team building, promotions, and parties (you couldn’t afford it anyway), and you need to live in the UK (wah-wah-waaaaah). More »

3:51PM Nick Broughall | Remember the good old days? When instead of playing Gran Turismo on the Playstation you would stick a couple of cars with wire poking out the bottom onto a track and press a trigger to make them go around? No? I must be getting old then…
Anyway… Designer Pete Nidzgorski has created a cheap, modern sculpture that anybody can hang on their wall using their dusty old Scalectrix. And if you happen to be too young to own a Scalectrix, you can pick them up cheap on ebay.
Because the tracks come in pieces, you can create practically any track design you want to have on your own wall as well, from the figure eight seen here to something complex, like a Gizmodo logo, perhaps?
