Aspects of Modelling: Slot Car Racing Building on the huge success and popularity of the Aspects of Modelling series designed primarily for railway modellers, Ian Allan Publishing is now extending the coverage of the series to encompass some of the other most popular hobby modelling areas. The first of these titles looks in detail at an area of increasing popularlty worldwide, that of slot car racing, which is practised both at an organised club level, but also at home using Scalextric and other similar manufacturers’ products. Most of those pursuing the hobby quickly move on from just racing cars to want to learn how to improve the performance of their cars, control systems (including computer applications), track layouts, power supplies, driving skills, etc. There is a wealth of advice in the community on these subjects, but this book brings together all this disparate knowledge into one practical ‘how to’ volume. The practical features are illustrated by a fantastic range of photographs, diagrams and plans showing players how to make the most of their racing circuit design. |

Scalextric: The Ultimate Guide 7th Edition by Roger Gillham Scalextric, the definitive slot car racing system, is as popular as ever. Since its introduction in 1957, there can’t be many boys – whether young or grown-up – who haven’t played with a set at some time. It’s a tribute to the excellence of the original concept that Scalextric has remained fundamentally unchanged in design. The variety of different cars, track sections and buildings produced over the years is quite staggering – hence the need for this fascinating history and work of reference. First published in 1981, this book has long been recognised as the ‘bible of Scalextric’, providing a complete catalogue of the cars and equipment produced. This hugely expanded seventh edition features thoroughly updated text and catalogue listings together with a new format, printed in colour throughout. Some 1500 colour illustrations are featured, many of them specially commissioned for this new edition, showing models owned by dedicated collectors. |
