Disney Pixar CARS: Carrera Slots From Germany …
“Sylt” sends us a nice heads up on a German-Europe 1:43 CARS Slot set …while we have had a couple CARS releases, you know a German slot set will be world class – no CARS flying off the track 🙂
Comes with Chick & McQueen. King will be available down the line.
Check out the amazing track you get with this set …
But what’s great are the great expansion tracks and accesssories …
Okay, this doesn’t really work for CARS but still cool (just hide the people and put Tex Dinoco in there).
Pit Row … lots of room for Mia & Tia 🙂
Sure, they have straight and curvy track add-ons but who cares about that … BRING ON the … double decker bridge!
Hella yeah!
Okay, maybe some CARS will come flying off …
“Sylt” says it’s around 69€ while not cheap – looks like a solid piece of engineering.
Okay, you might end up spending $500 on expansion tracks …
Link to website plus all the other sets they offer.
In some parts of Europe, you can try and win a set. See website for details.
Now available on Amazon at @$82.

Anybody have an opinion on which slot racer scale is better…i always had the Tyco ones…the Carrera looka bit bigger, and nicer…anyone?
(MET: I’m not familiar with the Tyco but the Carrera does say 1:43 so it is larger than the 1:55 diecast series. The link in the comments to a UK one is 1:64 – same scale as Hot Wheels).
Size does KNOT matter…at least that is what I keep telling PirateWife!!!
There is also a different set made by Scalextric that comes with Lightning and Chick and has a dirt-track section.

No word on any future Cars coming out for it though. You can buy it in Argos in UK.

You can also buy seperate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles riding on skateboards to drive on your track!
Also nice looking hotrods and accurate Nascars from the past
Did you see the “Luigi” version they offer?

I’m betting that it would cost a small fortune to get one of those tracks shipped to the US? They’re out of stock anyways, but still tempting.
Get it here?

cool, they have “mario” kart car and “peach” you can drive on the same track, and you can buy Kingm Chick and LmQ separately also.
Trying not to date myself too much here, but does anyone else remember an ad for a slot car raceway that had a police car that sat behind a billboard, and when the car, or cars, raced by, the police car gave chase?
I have watched for that set to pop up for sale over the years, have not had much luck!
We have the one released in US and Canada…it is nice cuz the cars don;t really fall off the track ….good for the little ones, but where is the challenge in that??!!!??! hahahahahaha
I went to their website and discovered that a local hobby shop carries their brand, but of course they’re closed on Sundays! Argh!!
Is that Dr. Evil wearing the yellow pants on the top level of the grandstand?
yea………. holding car drivers hostage for………….
ONE MILLLLLLYOOOONNNNNN DOLLARS
I hope you had your pinky finger pointed up when you wrote/said that!
those are some sweet pants!
I wanna know what those people behind him are dealing.
all that gear is pretty cool but I can only guess all the add on parts are not specific to Cars. C’mon there are people, not to mention the sponsors. Still nothing a few strategically placed stickers won’t fix.
Sweet!! 😀
Helmut in Germany is a Carrera slot car owner
I will get mine next week 🙂
Hope the Disney Cars will fit to build the california race track.
The VIP lounge next to the Dinoco lounge is reserved for Kevin and Met.
WOW!! those are pretty cool! I always LOVED these kind of tracks when I was a kid!!
