Holiday Gift: Scalextric Arc One

The cars might be American Classics,with a 1969-spec Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Boss Mustang going head-to-head in a reprise of Trans-Am's pony car wars, but the ARC ONE technology in Scalextric's ready-to-race set is cutting edge.

Scalextric ARC (App Race Control) is a revolutionary slot car system that allows users to wirelessly create and manage races with a handheld smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Download the ARC app, then connect your smart device via Bluetooth to the new ARC Powerbase, unlocking unique features and control of your Scalextric races.

ARC features include five-and-out light start, lap counter, fuel usage, tire wear, pit lane pit stop and post-race statistics. scalextric.com
