This is an excellent 1:64 scale track set which is one of the best sets that we have. The set advises it is for four years and over and with the hairpin bend it is definitely a track for the older racer. You do need to judge the bend and slow down for it and especially if you are in the tighter bend track (on the inside of the bend but outside of the track the rest of the way around) and quite a few times we have taken the bend too fast and the cars come off but thankfully the cars appear to be very solidly built and so far after several times shooting off the track they both still work perfectly.

Excellent car racing model set from Hornby, I generally think of Hornby more as the train sets and towns to scale models but this is likely to appeal to anyone interested in a race track for that purpose or who is interested in racing as a table top gaming pursuit.This is an easy to assemble out of the box set, the box itself contains a cardboard inlaid mold which makes packing and unpacking the track, cars, twin controller and plug and lead less difficult, and easy to follow instructions are included. There are three inlay cards, one with illustrated descriptions of the track pieces included in the set, one with instructions of track,

It has been a long time since I have used any Scalextric so I was actually quite excited to get my hands on this.First off the micro range is for younger racers and is designed to be a gateway into the scalextric world.The set itself was very easy to set and sports a number of good features to make it a touch easier for youngsters.The cars are extremely well detailed which is nice and are built a bit tougher to withstand the vigour’s of being used by youngsters. The magnets are extra strong too to help keep them on the track.The circuit was easy to assemble and features just over 4 metres of track. There’s plenty of bends and turns to keep things interesting and the cars have been designed to allow drifting and 360 spins to keep it exciting.

The fifteen track pieces are very easy to slot together to make the track shape shown on the box which is approximately four metres in total length. The two micro cars are Audi R8’s, one black and one white and both look amazing and are very detailed for their size. Both cars also feel very durable.There’s a lap counter and two controllers with adjustable dials to reduce the speed if needed to adapt for younger racers.The track itself is a great shape with a very nice hairpin bend. I would have liked a crossover track piece to add a little more excitement and also allow both players to take the hairpin inside and out.Both cars stick very well to the track but a little less gas on the bends

I found this initially harder to fix together than the larger Scalextric kits - the track pieces are rather stiff an unyielding, and when adding the next section of track it's very easy to accidentally disconnect the previous one. I was also a little concerned when first switching it on that it didn't appear to work. However, a little fiddling with the track connections and the car contacts, and everything ran fine. In operation, it's a lot easier to keep the cars on-track than with the larger sets - I actually had the car going around the track 3 or 4 times at maximum speed, without decelerating, before it came off. This makes it a bit less of a challenge,

All parts in the box, so that was a good start. Some pieces already joined together so make sure you follow the picture of the finished set as per the box. Scale, speed and difficulty was suitable for 12 year old child it was gifted to. Details on the car were amazing and it's a perfect beginners level model. Don't expect them playing for days on end but defintely worth a wet afternoon. Controllers to small for adult hands but perfect for children. You can make adjustments to speed but not being an expert stayed well away from that. Absolutely perfect first set for children.

I left this to my kids to set up (aged 9 and 12) and they managed it perfectly inside around 10 minutes - the track is larger than I expected but still takes up less room than a "proper" racing set.The cars (2 very smart audi's) stay on the track well but will come off it you don't slow down for some of the bends - so this is an excellent introduction to the full on slot racing fun.They also managed to pack it away quickly and easily - so this is a a definite plus for me.Must admit I enjoyed it as well!

Bought for 6 year old. I have to put the track together as it is fiddly and can be a bit stiff/tight. Used on/off for 6 months. Replaced the cars 'contact strips' 3 times due to wear (Easy!). Cars can fly off sometimes on the outside track. So we swap over after each race. You can change the sensitivity of the controller and at the moment they are on the lowest setting and we keep the 'accelerator' pinned. Must change it. We have great fun........We're not competitive.........My turn on the inside next!!!

Pretty good. When it works flowing well the kids really like it. Bit tricky at start to get connected but fine once mastered. Cars can be a bit temperamental and appear to require some bedding in.Had initial problems with altering the sensitivity of the controller but OK now. Some people complain about pieces missing but check the box carefully as some smaller pieces are already connected making the appearance of one piece rather than two or three.Overall would recommend.

This is a huge amount of fun. Everything came out of the box in top condition and it took very little effort to get the track slotted together and for the racing to begin.The track doesn't feel too small - which was something I was concerned about ahead of time - so you get plenty of opportunity to get your race on.This has good appeal for both existing and new fans of Scalextric - the reduced size certainly helps make it less intrusive on the rest of the household!

I love Scalextric with a passion and had a small set that myself and my son nearly wore out lol.. this is a medium sized set which is a definite upgrade from a figure of eight set. The track is really interesting and took around 20 minute to build, the cars are also great (GT Edition, look like Nascars) and the whole set is really good and fits well on the lounge rug. I can't fault this in anyway and therefore a full five out five and strongly recommended.

Great little set that will give hours of entertainment for the kids. Cars a little sticky/jerky to start with but soon ironed themselves out. Thought during initial set up that a couple of corners were missing but turned out the two shorter ones were clipped together in the box so looked like one of the longer curves.

Similar to my review on another micro scalextric set, this is very good and works especially well if you have less space in your home as its a bit smaller than the usual size scalextric sets. Lots of fun for everyone in the family and enough track to be quite creative with your configurations. Highly recommended.

Great racing cars and economical with space. The black car seems to come off the track easier than the white one. Good fun all round and our six year old grandchild loves it.

Enormous Christmas fun for three generations. Worked best on table-top and has to be treated gently!
