Scalextric Super Sierras Retro Race Set

Being a 90s kid Scalextric was a big part of my childhood, If I think about it, I can still hear that satisfying sound they make as the whip around the track. The Scalextric Super Sierras Retro Race Set is like a blast from the past for classic Touring Car racing. This set throws you straight back into the golden era of the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, a true motorsport legend. Whether you remember these beasts tearing up the track or appreciate retro racing, this set delivers an exciting, high-speed experience that feels both vintage and modern at the same time.

The two Ford Sierra RS500 models are beautifully recreated, with authentic details and precise bodywork so they are just like a miniaturised 1:32 scale version of the real thing, they even have working lights. These aren’t just any toy cars; they’re proper collector’s pieces that happen to also be incredibly fun to race. Setting up the track is straightforward, though it does require some space, something I remember my dad complaining about when I was little. The layout includes a mix of 45º and 90º curves, long straights, and even a crossover section, for some extra excitement. Once everything is in place, the race can begin. The Sierras handle well, and thanks to Scalextric’s magnatraction system, they stick to the track just enough to allow for some controlled speedy yet controlled driving.

The real fun comes when racing with someone else, it is just as competitive as I remember my old set being but with less physical violence between me and my sister. The speed control on the handsets means you can’t just floor it and hope for the best (my favourite technique back in the day), you’ll need some precision, throttle control, and maybe a little bit of luck to stay ahead AND on the track. Whether you’re a lifelong Touring Car fan, a Scalextric enthusiast, or just someone looking for a fun, nostalgic racing set, the Super Sierras Retro Race Set is an absolute blast. It’s a perfect mix of classic motorsport vibes, thrilling gameplay, and beautifully designed cars, making it a must-have for anyone who loves a bit of high-speed action. RRP £159.99
