James May and Scalextric set a new
World Record!

On 16th August 2009, Scalextric set a new world record by recreating the famous Brooklands banked circuit entirely out of Scalextric, near Weybridge in Surrey.  The incredible stunt was recreated with Scalextric for the BBC television show James May’s Toy Stories. All six of the episode's of James May's Toy Stories are currently being aired again on BBC America, with the Scalextric episode airing August 16th and again on the 21st, check TV listings for times.

Brooklands opened in 1907 and was the world’s first purpose-built motorsport venue.  It hosted its last race in 1939 and now plays host to Brooklands Museum.  James May and 300 volunteers used approx 20,000 separate sections of track to recreate the 2.953 miles circuit.  Scalextric shattered the current record for a slot car track which was set in Berlin on October 2007 by 2,189.82 metres.  Once the mammoth challenge was completed, two Scalextric model cars, a maroon Aston Martin DBS and a silver Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren roared around the newly created track.
