Running non Scalextric cars

[LesD]

Can I run other makes of 1/32 slot cars on my Scalextric track?

[Scuderia Scalextric]

I prefer Scalextric cars on my Scalextric track, but do have a Pioneer car (Dukes of Hazzard Dodge Charger!) which is designed to take a Scalextric DPR chip. It runs fine, although I've put a weaker magnet in it, but scale wise, it looks just a bit too big compared to my other Scalextric cars. Saying that, I've just got the Scalextric Aston Martin DB5 (racing version in white gold) and it also seems a bit on the large side scale wise when compared to my Scalextric Jag E-Type and Ferrari 250 GTO and the driver looks a bit small, compounding the issue.
