Scalextric 1000MPH record?

Question

What do these guys mean by equivalent speed...has it something to do with the scale of the "Car"...if it is, I should think that I could do the same by throwing a matchbox F1 out of a 10 story window....great record.

Answer 1

LMAO ............... I needed a laugh, thanks.

I think they mean to scale. So the Scalextric car goes as fast as an F1 car relative to its size.

Answer 2

yeh

Answer 3

Yes, it's relative to the scale of the car. Classic Scalextric is 1:24 scale so 1000mph would be 41mph in real terms.

Throwing it out of a window wouldn't be allowed as it's supposed to be speeds created by its own engine, not by gravity or chucking.
