    Attending the Goodwood Festival of Speed at West Sussex this weekend? No, me neither. To bad too because Mazda is apparently construction an automated full-size Scalextric track that will feature full-size Mazda cars. Hopefully none of them will fly off the track when rounding the bends like my slot cars always did.


    The track, part of the 20-year MX-5 celebration, will feature a 1990 Miate, a 2000 10th anniversary edition and a California Special edition along with a handful of other notable models. Hopefully some fun videos will appear shortly showing off what sounds like a really fun exhibit at Goodwood.
