Is This The Most Realistic F1 Scalextric Silverstone Ever Built?

[@Frank-re3qp]

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

[@_suko_3656]

I know right?

[@notmanynamesleft]

So cool 👌

[@DeployTheDRS]

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

[@dogukancakmakci9419]

[@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]

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.

LOL XD!

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

[@p28-e7j]

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!

[@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.

[@bremCZ]

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

[@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.

[@thebigmacmoomin]

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

[@fone5003]

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

[@Lukas-mb1lr]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 ...

[@rrrrkoop2776]

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

[@nigelswan1018]

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

hey wtf1, the monza track is actually called: Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, thank me later, no need.

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

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

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?

[@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.

[@sebastiangoncalves1076]

Finally I have been waiting for this video!

[@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

[@sahaba7638]

This race is on fire!

[@davo5659]

[@jacobwhite9961]

Have a f40 and xj220 set,it is awesome

[@DicraeoF1]

Scalextric were these fucking things that always seemed like great tracks and then you noticed that the last straight/corner doesn't fit at all and you have to have giant holes everywhere in your track if you want it to form a circle.

[@sweater7630]

could we see them run for more than 2 seconds?

[@DH-co6dj]

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

[@deltasterone]

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

[@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!!

[@mjp29]

Never heard of Scalextric until today. Being American, we're more use to "Tyco" brand cars and tracks. The Scalextric seems to be much better designed, as the cars aren't constantly flying off the track - a constant problem with Tyco cars.

[@daylightanimation]

Now that's model!

[@hippo4g93]

Is the 4 lane monza digital as well ?

[@ptrisonic]

Brands Hatch (long circuit) has real character; Silverstone still feels like the WW2 aerodrome it originally was..... Best, Pete.

[@theant9821]

Brands is the best circuit in the world for spectators, while i have recreateed the short circuit flat its quite awkward to do it as its so steep, walk round the real circuit and you wouldn't believe how steep it it, paddock hill bend obviously but pilgrims rise is steep but looks almost flat on tv. It's steep up or steep down everywhere on the circuit. Even the pit lane is steeper than you'd think.

[@paulsummerside]

Interesting and nicely done. But I personally would have used the old layout familiar to those who grew up with the 60’s 70’s and 80’s F1 🏎 before the layout was ruined after 1991 and completely ruined in 2010.

[@Norse1957]

Uh, with the single fan in the stands, are you sure the track builder wasn't in some way predicting 2020? Perhaps they're the Nostradamus of slot racing?

[@jennifersman7990]

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

[@Lanesb]

I’m gonna do this but it will be Daytona for stop motion series

[@soniaellis4577]

I wonder if every F1 circuit through a season has been recreated in scalextric.
