In 2004 Scalextric introduced the first digital scalextric sets and this revolutionized the hobby of slot car racing, with the ability to race up to 6 slot cars on just a 2 lane race track. They do require a bit more setting up than the traditional slot car set in programming the cars (but it isn’t too hard).
