No way to even keep track of your car they're moving so fast. Seems kinda silly to me but hey thats what makes the world go round.

If you're wondering what this is about, watch below.
I love it when people think they know what a fast slot car is. Even the Guinness book of records has it completely wrong.
As you can see by the people moving and that they crash, this is no camera trickery or any other trickery to keep the cars on the track, it takes full concentration and skill with excellent aerodynamics, and the only magnets are in the motors.
Final note, these are 2 second a lap cars, I only progressed to 3 second a lap cars.
