James May Scalextric Track Toy Stories.

Posted on | November 16, 2009 | No Comments

It seems we can’t get away from James May on TV at the moment. Last night he returned in one of the best TV shows now in HD on the planet (according to us at cheap televisions anyway) in the form of Top Gear on BBC Two last night. And tomorrow Captain Slow will be on again building the biggest Scalextric track in the world on the Toy Stories TV show.

I’ll be honest although I was pleased to see Top Gear back again I have to admit it was far too scripted on last night’s show. The GT part to Romania was cool apart from the staged lorry into car part (it’s like they’re trying too hard to be funny). And the james May test was just plain awful, he is much better on his Toy Stories TV show.

So tomorrow at 8pm on BBC Two James May will be making the world’s longest Scalextric track for his Toy Stories TV show. At nearly 3 miles long I’m wondering how they got the power to work the whole way around it and how the competitors will be able to see the whole Scalextric track!

From BBC Two “James May continues his quest to show what is possible with old-fashioned toys by using them on a scale never seen before.James attempts to build the biggest Scalextric track in the world, nearly three miles long, on the site of Britain’s oldest grand prix track at Brooklands in Surrey. The track will have to go through people’s gardens, over ponds and rivers and even negotiate a business park. Who will win the race of the century, the plucky locals or the team of Scalextric experts?”.
