A giant Scalextric track is hidden in this building in Vicente Lopez and you can join it with your electric cars.
Yes, you read that right. It is not an exhibition or a forgotten relic: it is an active track, assembled on a large scale, where cars run at full speed and it is in a place where you might not think to find it. This giant Scalextric track is hidden behind the doors of the Sociedad de Fomento Aristóbulo del Valle.
If you’re wondering what exactly Scalextric is, Scalextric was born in the UK in 1957 as a racing system for scale electric cars, which became the star entertainment in the 60s, 70s and 80s.

It’s about precision, speed, design and community.
