"with both controllers in my hands cause I have no friends..." Bit abrupt 😂

[@dogukancakmakci9419]

DeployTheDRS but relatable

[@DeployTheDRS]

Yeah... _sniff_

[@ObitoUchihaisgay]

both controllers* thats the whole point of the joke

[@DeployTheDRS]

Oh yeah sorry, my mistake ahah I meant that 😂

[@goosegoose4656]

Realatable

[@MrPuddles3331]

Man made? I thought it might have occurred naturally.

[@RomelioSanz]

It's about making your own pieces, probably not standard ones from a store. Maybe.

[@Aristas-zd5vd]

lmaoo

[@AlkaBalkaa]

ffs... He means... Yeah you're right, built not bought

[@StefanVeenstra]

Just went on a stroll through the forest recently and found a scalextric Hungaroring growing on a tree.

[@thischannelisdead4808]

LOL XD!

[@wysiwygsd]

If this was a TRULY accurate Silverstone model the rain would be pissing down on everyone and everything.

[@user-mw8um6mc3v]

Great comment! I was there the day keke set the lap record. I think it's still the quickest F1 lap ever. He did it in the rain!

[@hippo4g93]

wysiwygsd 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hippo4g93]

Classic 🤣 ! this comment is going down in the history books my guy

[@robertcook2572]

And there'd be a massive traffic jam just outside the room.

That old banking on the monza model is a great detail!

[@johnnyboy3949]

Sexist. Put a child there holding a big sign 3 times the size of them in a swimming costume and you’re onto a winner though. Apparently.

[@harrysadler4622]

PRL_F1Racer09 Wouldn't we all prefer to look at a child firing vomit and mucus everywhere, mashing a kit kat into their gob holding a sign of a driver they don't even know? I sure would.......

Uh oh, better not show Liberty Media this video.

I don’t think they actually died.

Beautiful layout! Just shows what can be achieved with scalextric slot car track👍😎 Certainly makes me look at my empty loft space and my boxes of scalextric track with renewed interest👍😎😁

[@sebastianespejoloyaga7603]

0:11 Nice Lag

[@cnance1972]

Love the detail , glad you shared the video!

[@TeeDubbDizzle]

Just wanted to take this time to say hello! I live in Texas and my first WTF1 videoI watched was Grill the Grandstands @ COTA. I've always found F1 interesting but never really got into it (not surprising I'm sure) However after following along through the rest of the season, I"M PUMPED for the start! Thank you for helping me grow my motorsport love. I've been to many races at COTA, mostly Lone Star LeMans, Moto GP as well as HPDE there. Hope to attend F1 this year.

[@fone5003]

WOW auto generated subtitles actually kept up with Matt's brilliant commentary of that flying lap

[@bremCZ]

0:57 As opposed to those naturally occuring Scalextric tracks?

[@532bluepeter1]

Scalextric used to publish books of track plans to allow folk to model circuits at home. These were mostly fictitious but there were some plans for small versions of real circuits such as Brands Hatch.

[@johnharris4600]

I remember them ,What happened to them then?

[@532bluepeter1]

I do not know if they are still published but one can obtain most things via eBay if one is patient.

[@asaking11]

Wow! Great video :D

[@Lukas-mb1lr]

Pastor still crashed

[@thebigmacmoomin]

Mighty Metro was my first Scalextric set that grew over time. Sold it all many many years ago.

[@TheDrum2010]

There is absolutely no way that this would cost anywhere near £15000 to build, could build for £1000

[@HarryWechslerMR]

Nice Video on a cool track...this track is a legend !!

[@sebastiangoncalves1076]

Finally I have been waiting for this video!

[@danielribeiro383]

Very Nice! Congrats!

[@00binator]

normal Scalextric track: oh well my car flew off again this track: welp here goes 12 hours for nothing.

[@joefish6091]

Love the tiny camera on a car going around the track.

[@lukasbaumgartner169]

Now do the nurburgring.

[@spongebobtentacles5393]

Haaaaaha, *lemans*

There is, faller ams. ;)

[@adamtal2904]

also do daytona, sebring, spa, and watkins glen

Well you gonna need a lot of BMW parts to bury in it

I wish I could have a 3D Printer to make a track like this beautiful Silverstone.

[@nigelswan1018]

I wanted to see wat the f1 cars would look like going that fast round the track

[@arxmie786]

0:06 song going in the back round hello darkness smile friend

[@Kidzspeed]

My favorite part is the mini Stowe Circuit!

[@uncov8127]

I had Scalextric forty years ago with AC Cobra's with a reasonable size figure eight layout. These days I am still a motor sport fan and still enjoy Gran Turismo on PlayStation.

[@LifeBloodMarketing]

POV camera racing would be sweet with this setup.

[@carsonho9338]

Wow I want to play at this track

[@squidgd3242]

The moment I saw this I was in the pause menu playing Formula 1 2019 on the British GP

[@JJ-ru5xr]

My dad raced slot cars as a kid also. Made his own gears, engines (wires), weels ... and had a lot of fun. Then he raced rallye and formel (formel Easter cup) cars ...

[@almeidaariel9]

Here in Brazil I have an old 94' Ayrton Senna slot set, it's very fun when I assembly in the living room

[@rodboudreau3982]

Even the trees feel real.. I dont think you've ever touched a real tree.

[@headxhunterlock7210]

I've got a mt Panorama Bathrust track in my shed outside, way too much fun

all rounder evolyoution I'd 👍 more than once if I could

[@simonharding1572]

nice work I like it would love to recreate

[@ianclarke6665]

There is a place in march Cambridgeshire. That has 13 tracks from around the world. You can race them all and they have 4 tracks per circuit. So 4 people can race at a time.

[@Cheezus]

"Great British Man" is a Homie figure lol

[@EdgyNumber1]

I used to love the real Silverstone, I just remember it in the late 80's and early 90's being a real 'power' circuit.

[@davo5659]

I know someone with the Singapore circuit which lights up around their room

[@sahaba7638]

This race is on fire!

[@ttcgd123]

Very beautiful circuit!!!

[@LauraBrammer]

The thing it was in the loft collating dust and it was my dads and we counted he’s got something like 130 straights and 100 corners with some old ones when he was a kid and some from now

[@farizrahman7290]

flat out through maggots and becketts *WITHOUT KERBS*

[@jennifersman7990]

Now why didn’t I think of building something like this when I had my Tyco slot car track set at age 11?

[@marcelorapa]

Just... AWESOME!

[@olivertaylor4779]

I look at this for inspiration on my own smaller track, no buildings yet just track and barriers on painted boards.

[@sweater7630]

could we see them run for more than 2 seconds?

[@fruhotchiliman]

why does nobody have the Carrera Slot Track anymore? The Quality is just much better

[@proslotracing6630]

MAX Percentage I use Carerra Digital , it’s much better than Scalextric

[@stuartcookie133]

I got a Chili Dog from the little concession stand and got the shit's

[@wadysawszajner11]

This Is GORGEOUS!!!

[@DH-co6dj]

I have a scalextrix set but soon be in the loft as a pernerment track

Intimate moments with the tree

[@alistairwhite8575]

When he said “alistair look at this” I paid extra attention and thought he was talking to me

[@EddyTeetree]

Interesting vid. Is it actually 1:32 scale length wise? If not how many feet of track is it? Thanx

[@jamdiversified9698]

Would have been great to actually see the cars driving on it for more than 2 corners!

[@trackfanstv]

Great video, watched it a couple of times! Thanks for the share, we'll be checking back soon :-)

[@thatelephant]

Give that man a break. He loves his work and I like the way he build it.

[@tomryder5798]

Great job

[@deltasterone]

would be fine to drive the cars on such a circuit without magnets i like the layout great scenery well done.

[@TheStrstudios]

I had the same set you mentioned I think. 1986 with Mansell-Williams and Senna-Camel Lotus right? :)

[@johnmoore3930]

beautiful... especially like the Gnome at 3:28

[@rrrrkoop2776]

over a million views shows there are a lot of us, who "raced" as kids. great video. thanks

[@KBowWow75]

Now I can confirm after seeing this that Lewis's pole lap last year was him as a slot car coming out of Stowe. Also are these the guys that make the tracks for Red Bull Racing's slot car videos?

[@Lost_n_Found_1]

0:44 That looks like a figure from the Homies vending machine toy line, lol.

[@Piccolo_core]

I had a scalextric track with ramps and stuff and a pair of hummers but i have no clue where its gone XD

[@swanseauniversitymotorspor3944]

Got back into it a couple of years ago but got laid to rest back in the summer, one of the best toys for grown ups in the world

[@kalebwhitrockdingus]

It makes me sad that the old Monza oval is only used for the rally race now, I really hope that one day a race is organized with previous cars that had raced on the track for one more race

[@nex6058]

Wow. That car cam bit towards the end made me sick. But awesome tracks!

[@randy1817]

Your guy needs to make an HO Scale with 6 or 8 lanes of the Old Nürburgring ring from the sixties, that would be cool!!

[@nigelcarren]

This is fantastic work, but does anyone know the name of the plastic Grid-Girl please? (I am asking for a friend)

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

It's Steve also don't assume it's gender.

[@martinbielby334]

Dang thats so cool!!

[@thethirdman225]

My brother once planned the Nurburgring using AFX and figured he’d need a town hall to lay it out. I can’t remember how many pieces of track were involved.

[@pinut187]

TheThirdMan cool story, thanks for sharing

[@x_rod]

Who remembers Banter Streams?

[@BlokHed75]

I have a slot car set (that's what Americans call scalectrics). Problem is it's hard to keep a strong circuit, electricity and power escapes from the ho scale tracks all the time. But when I do get them running I usually run them until the copper runners have melted or the remote starts smoking. (That happens more often than you'd think

[@nerfmono9345]

It's beautyful

[@hondajesus5989]

The one guy was a Homies figurine lol nice

My old hobbtshop used to have a huge slot car track where you could race youre own custom built cars i mad ea bugatti veyron with a insanely powered motor and lots of magnets on the bottom it was op until the place closed 2 years agao the bugatti hasnt ran ever since i have a vid of it on my yt channel

[@hugocousin2008]

Now the real challenge will be the green hell in Scalextric

Reminds me of what Red Bull did with max for spa and Daniel with Silverstone

how do you edit? what platform?
