Thanks to James May we know that you don't need a continuous track for your Scalextric cars to work. Don't ask me how, you just don't. Which inevitably led us to experimentation with long straight tracks....and jumping....
Sam set up a pits area at one end of the hallway. We set the track up along the hallway floor. And hoisted the end of the track up to make a jump. A big jump. With a Health & Safety "Cars" duvet as a landing area, natch.
Oh what fun! The cars roared and whined then flew. Then crash landed. All perfectly safely. Great fun.
Did I say "all" safely. I meant "nearly all" safely. Ooops.
Don't worry though, with ten minutes TLC and a Phillips screwdriver, Sam's blue Mini was back in working order once more.
