Slot cars are small, scale-model cars that race on a track with grooves or slots. These grooves guide the cars, allowing them to stay on the track while being powered by an electric motor. Slot car racing can be enjoyed by people of all ages and is often set up in home basements, garages, or dedicated racing venues. The tracks can vary in design, featuring curves, straightaways, and elevation changes. Enthusiasts often customize their slot cars and tracks, adding details like scenery and buildings. Racing can be competitive, with participants timing their laps and improving their skills over time.
