Silverstone gears up for Easter fun

Anew ‘On Track’ exhibit at Silverstone Museum this Easter will take attentions –the world famous Silverstone Formula 1 Circuit has been recreated by the team at Scalextric for the exhibit, and visitors will be able to pick up a throttle and enjoy epic battles with iconic cars around the two lane Grand Prix circuit.

The Scalextric set will be a highlight of the exhibit, but throughout the Easter period (April 1-16), the Museum will also have a range of full size cars on display alongside their

Scalextric versions, including Damon Hill’s Williams FW16B-07, a Ford Lotus Cortina, Honda Civic Type R and a Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth.

“For generations, Scalextric has been a beloved brand among racing fans of all ages. Now, with our collaboration with the Silverstone Museum, we’re taking that love to a whole new level,” said Simon Owen, Head of Scalextric Brand.

“With our collective passion for racing together with the Museum’s unparalleled collection of artifacts and racing memorabilia, we’re creating an experience that’s not just fun and exciting, but also informative and educational.”
