MONACO INSPIRED STREET CIRCUIT, 2022 (13' X 8')
More info on our website: thinkscalextri...
On Wednesday 13th April 2022 we at www.thinkscalex... delivered our 'Monaco Inspired Street Circuit' bespoke "build for www.SlotCar-Uni... in Nice, France.
More pictures on this Facebook post: / 4999073526851048
Our brief from the customer (Slot Car-U)nion was that they would like a Monaco inspired design, use custom painted Carrera track and it needed to be approximately 13ft x 8ft.
We commissioned magneticracing... to build several of the buildings. As well as using genuine Carrera track, we also used the modified 'Carrera Digital 124 / 132 Control Unit For Slot Car Track With Power Adapter with Control Box', which allows the user to switch between analogue and digital racing. Plus custom anti crash lane changer chips, including a pit lane from TEK-Slots.
We also used a custom built left pit entry section, cameraman flash lights with a detection sensor, plus pace car flashing amber circuit lights from HomeGrandPrix.DE.
We also took the standard Carrera start/finish gantry and lap counter apart and retro fitted them into our own housings.
We spent around 2000 man hours creating this circuit, plus over 400 hours of 3D print time. We decided to route the pit garage exits and safety car lane so we could run the cars over the cobbled streets. There are also many detailed scenes including:
- Jimmyz Nightclub (with a light up dance floor)
- DHL loading dock
- A homeless area under the bridge
- Under the ocean viewing windows
- plus much more.
The pièces de résistance comes in the form of the commission built Monte Carlo Casino, Fairmount Hotel and the Café de Paris from magneticracing....

Having seen the casino building raw this is just fantastic as a finished model. Love all the details; nightclub, street restaurant, shark. Great atmosphere created, well done👏🏻.

Fun circuit including track out of the garages and pit road. Excellent scenery but the little vignettes really make this a fun layout. I'm sure you really enjoyed including these added features as much as the owner loves them.

@ThinkScalextric 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the amazing feedback. We loved making this track, we love adding those little extra features. We tell the clients there's a few extra bit and the clients look for them after we've installed it. The owner of this build was very happy. Hope you enjoyed our other client builds 👍🏼

We feel the exact same about them, we should have made more effort too, some of them are pretty hard to take off without destroying the figure annoyingly
