Longest Slot Car Track

Permanent tracks

The longest permanent track we know of was East Meadow Miniature Racing Association, (EMMRA), track on Long Island, NY, USA. The track had 6 lanes and a lap length of 525 ft.(160 m). This track no longer exists. External link to more of the EMMRA story.

It is claimed there once was a permanent 4 lane track somewhere in South Africa over 600ft lap length - possibly about 613ft (187m). I haven't seen enough details to know if this claim is accurate. If anybody out there knows more I'd be very interested to hear from them.

Temporary tracks

A temporary track was constructed at the Brooklands racing circuit (Surrey, England) on August 16th 2009, there was a programme about it in the "James May's Toy Stories" BBC 2 TV series. The length has been variously reported as 2.95 miles, 4747 and 4752 meters. Apparently this has been accepted as a world record by the Guinness Book of Records. More on the Brooklands track story
