Slot car racing
Fishandchips:
Or scalextric as it is commonly called in the UK as it us the main brand going here. Since my place is small, I have little space to set it up but I still gave all of my track and cars including my dads vintage stuff from the 50s/60s. Having some technical skill would be a help though as repairs are needed so badly ????♂️

I wish I could find pictures of it, but I saw some FB posts, this guy built a slot-car track into his model railroad
the scales were either the same or similar, so he was able to pull it off pretty well!

He must have had a large scale railroad if the scales are similar. 00 and H0 are way too small. For a couple of years we had a show called The Great Model Railway Challenge. Some modellers incorporated road transport using scaled vehicles guided by magnet.

It’s not something I’ve ever seen before that I can think of.
