I guess we will find out fairly shortly if they are even considering this, with the new range for 2024. It seems a fairly cheap way of giving sets longevity, and I don't think it cannibalises anything - I have no intention of getting 1:32 sets.

Having been fairly new to Scalextric (not counting childhood!) I have to agree with the premise here. My wife - who now regrets this bitterly - bought be a set for Christmas, and since then I've added to it. The small form is absolutely perfect for setting up a temporary track on the dining table when a friend is round, in a way that would be much less practical for the full size system. But the limitation is the lack of variety in track options, and it really wouldn't take much to add in options like a crossover or chicane piece that would make the racing much more interesting. I get that they think this is for younger racers, but it really needn't be. The thread about reducing the magnetic grip on the cars was interesting for one thing, as trying to get the cars to come off the track often enough to allow for an element of skill isn't that straightforward much of the time. It's still relatively new, but Scalextric are a few options away from making Micro seriously good. I do hope they provide them.
