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
