What happens when nearly 30 years of Scalextric history collide on the track? 🏁
In this mega, head-to-head comparison, I take my beloved vintage Scalextric Set - Escort Rally from 1996 - and put it head-to-head against a brand new Scalextric Retro release — the Super Sierra Set.
Both sets represent their era. Both were designed as starter sets. Both originally cost the same price. And both feature legendary Cosworth performance icons:
🚗 Escort Cosworth (1996 Escort Rally Set)
🚗 Sierra Cosworth (2026 Super Sierra Retro Set)
But the big question is…
👉 Is classic Scalextric better than modern Scalextric?
👉 Or has time, technology, and design improved the experience?
To make this comparison as fair and honest as possible, I break everything down side by side, step by step, and put both sets through the same tests — from the moment the box is opened to the final chequered flag.
🔍 What’s covered in this mega comparison:
💰 Price & value for money – what you actually get for your cash
📦 Box aesthetics & artwork – vintage charm vs modern presentation
🧰 Box internals & packaging – how the sets are protected and organised
🛣️ Track included – quantity, variety, and overall layout potential
🧩 Track layouts – flexibility, creativity, and realism
🚗 Car detail & accuracy – moulds, liveries, proportions, and finish
🏎️ Car handling & performance – straight out of the box and after setup
🔧 Setup time – how long it takes to get racing
🧹 Breakdown & storage time – because this matters more than you think
👨👦 The ultimate test – racing the sets with my 4-year-old to see which is more fun, forgiving, and family-friendly
This isn’t just about specs — it’s about feel, fun, and that magic Scalextric spark that got so many of us hooked in the first place.
Is the 1996 Escort Rally Set still the gold standard for starter sets? Does the Super Sierra Retro Set prove that modern Scalextric has evolved for the better? Or do they each win in different ways?
🎯 Watch until the end to see which set comes out on top — and why.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
Which set would you choose?
Did you grow up with classic Scalextric, or are you just getting started?
Escort Cosworth or Sierra Cosworth?
