Scalextric Classic

This is the oldest Scalextric track system which features the old horrible connection method that made setting up take ages. It also features 6 lane running. Some parts of this system are still available new. This track system has an extensive range of track sections and due to Scalextric forward thinking is compatible with the newer systems with the use of a conversion section of track. The new power section, the RMS and the lap counters all come with conversion sections to make them compatible with either the classic or the sport system. This system even includes banked corners, although I found them difficult to use due to the speed required to keep the car up the banking.

Scalextric Sport

This system features an easer connection method and 8 lane running. As mentioned it is completely compatible with the old system with the use of a conversion section. New features include a crossover bend, a hair pin turn and jump ramps.

Scalextric Sport Digital

This is the latest offering for Scalextric. A fully digital race control system. you can drive up to six cars on one lane using brand new ultra responsive hand throttles with button breaking. This system is fully compatible with existing Scalextric Smooth digital power control and Scalextric sport track (and classic I think with conversion sections). You can choose from 7 different styles of racing. The introduction of cross over sections allows you to change lanes. This system uses an all new Optical System Technology. Most cars can be made digitally compatible with Six different digital cars available initially. (as described by Scalextric)
