Scalextric tour puts Vauxhall Grandland in the fast lane
By Staff on Monday, July 21, 2025
Vauxhall is giving Brits the chance to channel their inner Lewis Hamilton with a new nationwide slot car racing competition, cooked up in collaboration with legendary toy brand Scalextric.
The campaign is a full-throttle celebration of the new Grandland and the playful joy of British motoring culture.
To bring the SUV to life in miniature, 3D modelling tech was used to shrink the original SUV into a perfectly detailed Scalextric version – with production delivered by St Marks Studios.
The concept is simple: race Scalextric cars around a custom-built track inspired by iconic UK landmarks.
The fastest lap by the end of the tour takes home a Vauxhall trophy and £1,000.
The tour kicked off in Glasgow and is headed for Newcastle, Nottingham, Southampton, and London over the coming weeks.
“What better way to celebrate this versatile family vehicle than with the ultimate electric, family racing game?” said Steve Catlin, Vauxhall MD.
Scalextric Head of Brand Simon Owen added, “We can’t wait to see families and fans of all ages take on the challenge.”
Tour dates run through August 10. Start your engines.
