Abstract

A slot car racing system is described which allows users to be able to play against other users over the internet. The system records telemetry data of the slot cars (20) as they move over the track (21) and this data can be passed to the remote user for controlling the operation of a remote slot car. Various other novel aspects of the slot car racing system are also described.
