There's a chance you may have seen this video already given it has had nearly five million views since 2010. However, it's Christmas. And one of the best Christmas presents for PHers has been and always will be Scalextric. So why not celebrate one man's incredible dedication to the cause?
Two hundred feet (60m) is one hell of a long track for slot cars. It twists and turns, rises, falls, crosses over and looks like enormous fun. Assembling it or putting the track back in a box is probably less enjoyable. And you wouldn't want to fall off the track half way, would you? But the races would surely be terrific.
With a camera on the car and the track you get a real sense of the track's scale (no pun intended...). It may also make you deeply envious that such a setup doesn't exist in your own home. Still, hats off to this man for a sterling effort. Certainly looks like more fun on Christmas afternoon than a walk and the Great Escape!
