Carrera are the number one bestselling brand in their home country of Germany and in many other European countries too. Possibly known more here in the UK for their 1:43 Scale GO! system which includes Mario Kart and other licensed products, they also offer cars in 1/32nd (which we stock) and 1/24th scales as well. Good value and nicely finished home set cars.
Best Slot Car Manufacturer
Fly Car Model
Fly Car Model are based in Madrid with factories in Alicante and Gaugemaster are proud to have been their UK distributor since their introduction in 1996. This company re-defined the way slot cars looked with a combination of high detail, paint and printed finish; something Fly still maintain today. Often produced in much smaller quantities than other plastic cars available, these cars also appeal to collectors. They produce a wide range of racing machinery which includes classic rally, sports and GT cars, plus classic F1 and modern-day racing trucks. They recently released a model of James Hunt's overlooked Hesketh F1 car, and their Classic GP cars are great performers, even at club level.
Le Mans Miniatures
Le Mans Miniatures are another brand that we import and distribute. Based within earshot of the famous French circuit that gives the company their name, they specialize in high-end detailed resin models. While known for their fabulous ready-to-run 1:32 Scale sports cars that mainly raced at Le Mans, they also offer models and figurines in other scales too. Very limited production runs mean they are instantly collectable and often sell out before release. Look out for their fabulous pre-war Bugatti models coming out soon.
Ninco
Best Slot Car Brand
While this Spanish slot company has currently stopped production, they have not ruled out returning to the market that they rejuvenated in the early 1990s with their ground-breaking slot cars. They are also known for their fabulous track system used by slot car clubs the world over. We still have stock of various track pieces and cars, check our website for latest stock levels, only available while stocks last (for now!).NSR
This company is at the cutting edge of what we know as the sport of slot car racing. I say sport as, while they can be used at home and would be very quick indeed, their primary use is intended for the international club racer. A range which covers both classic and modern sports/GT cars, they have recently turned their hand to producing an F1 car. The model is a generic GP car from the mid to late 1980s aptly called Formula 86/89 and the shape suits most liveries of cars of this period. A mouth-watering range of spares and upgrade parts is available for all cars within their range, and for other makes too, if you are serious about racing check them out.
Policar
Policar are part of the Italian Slot.it company and while some of the cars are aimed at entry level home set use, at the top end they offer some of the best detailed and performing classic sports and F1 car models. Their products share mostly Slot.it parts and are ideal for both home and club use. They have recently entered the slot track market and offer a great value starter set. The track was designed from the ground up with the enthusiast in mind and offers wider lane spacing and a very high grip surface. So grippy in fact, that you can remove the magnets from your cars and then drive them controlling the amount sideways drift around the corners, which is very satisfying.

Professor Motor
This US based company has managed to pick up the old Monogram slot car tooling after Monogram/Revell pulled out of the hobby some years ago. Whilest only offering bodyshell kits at present we hope they can start to produce RTR slot cars using these bodies. We also offer a range of upgraded hand controllers and long deleted Ninco track compatible digital pit lanes and lane changers via the Professor.
