Carrera Evolution Street Dreams slot car set

Price: £99.99 Contact: www.hobbyco.net

How close can you get to driving Auto Express’s top two Performance Cars of the Year? Supercoupés from Audi and Porsche feature in this new set from slot car legend Carrera.

You get 1:32-scale versions of an R8 and a 911 in the pack. And while they’re not exactly the same as the V10 Audi or the Cayman that starred in our Issue 1,079 road test special, you can ‘drive’ them for around £100.

On top of the realistically detailed models, the package includes over six metres of track to race on. The thrilling figure of eight circuit is made up of seven straights and eight curves, designed for the classic up-and-over style. But you can buy spares and extensions if you want to try a different layout.

The mechanical speed controllers are in the typical Carrera trigger design, and the starting block and guard rails are incredibly detailed, too.
 
If all that doesn’t deliver enough excitement, an optional upgrade kit enables you to have six drivers on the track at the same time.

Players can also get a lap timer or pace car, while an extensive spares department can supply everything from a new wing mirror to a brushless motor, should you have any accidents.
