Do you remember as a child playing on your Scalextric track? Well re-live those memories courtesy of Volkswagen!

 

Ahead of the UK launch of the new Golf GTI on May 22, Volkswagen has constructed a Scalextric track on an epic scale inside a hangar to lend armchair (or office chair) enthusiasts the chance to race the new hot hatch online and against the clock.

 

As with the real thing, too much enthusiasm leads to crashes and lost time.  A delicate approach and a little perseverance lead to quick times and your chance to appear on the online global leader board. 

Having just played the game, be careful on the corners, if you go to fast you’ll crash (like me!)

 

Set a particularly quick time and you’ll be entered into their prize draw to stand the chance of winning the opportunity to drive a new Golf GTI for three months.
