It Became A Real Spectator Sport

…it was such a brilliant success. Everyone had a go and enjoyed the racing, we managed to have it in the’ middle’ of the party so it became a real spectator sport – so well organised thank you so much. – Amanda

Chris Managed The Races Very Effectively With Great Humour

“Scalextric was a definite success…It was fun and inclusive. Setting-up and taking down the track was also quick and painless.

An Amazing Addition To Our Party

The booking and planning was straight forward and easy and the event itself was fantastic. Despite lots of outside activities there were queues inside to play on the Scalextric. Our event was run by Will who got everyone engaged with a little bit of banter and commentary but without being over the top – Eleanor Barton

How many people can participate?

We offer 6 or 8 lane tracks, accommodating small to large groups. Our smallest group size to date is 6, but we recommend larger groups (15-45 people). In larger groups, players take turns, allowing for breaks to relax, chat, eat, and drink. More players enhance the atmosphere and lower the price per head.

For larger groups, we suggest additional entertainment such as more tracks, fun casino games, simulator machines, table football, a disco, or a band.

How long does the event last?

If Giant Scalextric is the only form of entertainment, large groups will eagerly participate for 1–2 hours. A common game format involves 8 qualifying heats per participant, with the top 8 drivers moving on to a final series of 8 heats. Our custom computerized scoring system facilitates different game styles, and the Race Director will select the best one on the day.

We usually offer quotes for up to 3 hours of gameplay, but we are happy to provide quotes for longer durations if needed.

Can we fund raise with this?

Yes, we can handle the collection of money at an event if fundraising is needed.

However, predicting whether there will be a profit and how much is challenging, as it depends on numerous factors that are often unknown before the event. A primary issue is a low number of participants.

If guests have already paid a high ticket price, participated in the raffle, the charity auction, and bought expensive drinks, they might be less inclined to spend more money. In such cases, the slot track might go unused and result in a loss. It’s better to include the slot-racing costs in the ticket price, considering that if guests enjoy the event, they are more likely to return next year.

Generally, groups of 300 or more people, given the time and opportunity to participate, are likely to generate a profit.

How do we organise the event

The Race Director leverages experience and structured competition to maximize the event’s success. The exact details depend on group size, age, and other concurrent entertainment. A simple format is best when other activities are present, while a more challenging match suits focused players. Factors like tiredness and alcohol consumption are also considered by our staff before finalizing the game format.

Success is about 50% staff organization and 50% equipment quality. Our experienced staff excel at running Giant Scalextric events. If you need additional entertainment, like a fun casino, we can recommend trusted operators.

What do Miniracing staff do?

We bring all equipment and set up at a suitable venue. Setup usually takes about 30 minutes, though we recommend allowing an extra hour for contingencies. Packing away takes about 20 minutes.

Great track, cars, and computerized scoring are just the beginning. The “Race Director” plays a crucial role in ensuring the event runs smoothly. Using a public address system and radio microphone, the Race Director provides race commentary, organizes the game structure, and ensures the rules are clear and followed.

What is special about Miniracing equipment?

Miniracing manufacture the equipment as well as run events. Much is purpose built. Spotlights give the copper rails and black track surface a dramatic look.

The precision form of the whole shape gives a creative, sculptural look. Reliability is our top priority. Off the shelf slot-car racing track made to a keen price can give trouble. Unfortunately professional entertainers work in difficult situations without a skilled technician in attendance. Coming back tomorrow with a spare scalextric part is never an option. Our high quality equipment together with back-up systems for all critical components gives peace of mind to event organisers, staff and carefree fun to the players.

The surface of the track is free of bumps and ridges which makes play much more controllable. The players dictate the results not track irregularities. We use top brands of cars and controllers for consistent play.

The computerised scoring system together the with the race directors commentary over the PA system enables players and spectators to follow events. Without this interest can be short lived
