On Sunday 6th October 2024 we had an action packed day of digital Scalextric racing at the Mclaren Technology Centre in Woking for their ‘McLaren F1 Racing Employee Open Day’, an amazing open day event for the Mclaren Racing staff and partners.
The day enabled the MacLaren Racing employees and their families to enjoy and see Formula 1 from a different angle. The event included having a tour of some of the facilities plus they could enjoy all the activities laid on for the families, including several racing simulators, a pit stop challenges, Batak machines and one of our large mobile digital Scalextric tracks…naturally we raced McLaren slot cars on race track!
We were lucky enough to have Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have a couple of races on our track. Lando’s fastest lap time was 6.661 seconds with Oscar getting 6.675 seconds. We also had Andrea Stella, McLaren F1 Team Principal, have a race with his family. Was amazing to meet them all, they were all so friendly.

It was such a great day. There were two sessions during the day consisting of over 900 people in the morning then another 1200+ in the afternoon. During each session the families were also treated to a driving demonstration of a few iconic cars. As soon as the doors opened at 9am we had a continuous flow of eager racers, of all ages, wanting to race on our Scalextric track. There was a lot of close racing all day, with our McLaren Racing branded ‘Fastest Lap’ leaderboard constantly being updated. At the end of the day we had some very fast sub 6.5 second laps, withNye topping the board with an epic laps of 6.041 seconds.
