Frequently asked questions
Can I brand this?
Yes! The cars, tracks, crash-barriers, and perimeter skirt can all be branded as much as you like. Please get in contact with us for further details.
What size are the tracks?
Our classic size track is 4.5m x 2.1m but with extensions it can go as big as you like!
How do we organise the event?
Our Race Directors use experience and a structured competition to get the most from any event. The exact running details will depend upon many things: size of group, age of group, other entertainment running at the same time in the same area etc. A simple game format is best if your event contains other forms of entertainment, but you can also choose more in-depth competitions for larger groups. Other factors like tiredness, alcohol consumption, and competitiveness are all considered by our staff before a game format is run.
How many people can play at once?
We have 6 or 8 lane tracks, which suit relatively small to quite large group sizes. To date our smallest group size is 6. We recommend larger groups (15 – 150 people) for the full experience. This means players can take turns, split into teams, and enjoy a break from the intensive play. We find larger groups tend to provide a better atmosphere, giving everyone time to socialise, drink, and eat between rounds. Also, on a practical note – more players reduces the price per head!
How long does the event last?
If Giant Scalextric is the only entertainment, a large group will play enthusiastically for 1 – 2 hours. A game plan giving individuals eight qualifying heats, followed by the top eight drivers going through to a final set of eight heats works well. This is just one of the many game styles our bespoke computerised scoring offers. The Race Director will choose the best option on the day.
Contractually we normally quote for up to 3 hours of game-play, but we are always happy to quote for extended running time.
Can we fund raise with this?
Yes. We can organise the taking of money at an event if fundraising is required. However, predicting the amount of profit is difficult because it depends on many factors, which are often unknown prior to the event.
If your event has a high ticket price, expensive drinks and a charity auction for example, guests may be reluctant to pay extra for slot racing – in which case the slot track may remain unused and return a loss. In these cases it is better to include the slot-racing costs in the ticket price. We recommend taking the long term view that if guests enjoy an event overall they are much more likely to come back next year.
As a general rule, groups of 300 people or more, given the time and opportunity to take part, are likely to return a profit.
