Remember when you were younger, and you used to get a Scalextric set (or cheaper versions depending on how loved by the family you were) for some special occasion (Christmas, Birthday, etc), and you often thought it was fantastic to make the little car shoot around the track at a stupidly high amount of acceleration which in real life would mean way too many insurance claims for whiplash?
Well… VW have created a website (GTI Project) where you “test drive” a new Golf GTI. And by “test drive”, they mean “Control the acceleration of a slotcar that has a camera on it that you view from”. And just like real life, you can fly off the track with too much power and then waste a ton of time waiting for an engineer to put you back on the track. There’s even a contest to be able to “own” the car that’s being advertised for 3 months.
My current time: 23.92 with no crashes. Current fastest is nearer 13 seconds. It’s so damn difficult and addictive…
