For over 60 years, many have tried to surpass scaleMythical racing gamewithout receiving it. MODIplay Racing is a hybrid video game D toy cars which combines the best of both worlds to produce a much more realistic and in-depth version of the classic Scalextric.
On the one hand, we have plastic cars and scalextric stamped tracks that allow us to build different tracks depending on how we combine them. The key to everything is that cars have a minicomputer inside controlled by a mobile application. And that changes everything.
The application allows you to adjust the acceleration and grip of the wheels to get different types of vehicles. There are also several realism modes, from full simulation into child-assistance mode when the car never leaves the track. You can see it in action in the introductory video of the news.
MODIplay Racing, a hybrid of Scalextric and video games
This car game is controlled with mobile, using the gyroscope to turn and moving your finger to accelerate, brake, etc. Although there are several control modes. This is its weakest point, as neither the gyrospopium nor the mobile touchscreen are the most accurate controls despite being used in thousands of mobile games.
software MODI play takes control of the car and calculates in real time aspects such as wheel stiffness, acceleration or cornering speed to ensure the realism of driving, just like in a car simulator. Vehicles make realistic engine and brake sounds, generated in real time.
On the mobile screen, you can always see the lap times of all rivals and other data. Up to 30 people can participate in one race., each with their own mobile. And if you don’t have anyone to play with, you can let rivals go alonewith different levels of difficulty.
Another interesting feature MODIplay Racing that cars can pass by any surface, and not just on marked paths. So you can have an impromptu race on the kitchen table or on the living room floor.

Cost of 2 cars and 15 track fragments to create tracks €179. Of course, deliveries will not begin until August next year.
