Welcome to Armchair Racer, New South Wales original and premier 1:32 scale slot car centre. We stock a comprehensive range of 1:32 slot cars, sets and accessories and have provided our services to the slot car community since 1997. Other services we provide include events and restoration work. We also have a large slot car "museum" which includes thousands of slot cars and memorabilia spanning from the early 1950's.

SCALEXTRIC 2010 V8 SUPERCARS Many slot car enthusiasts were disappointed last year when only two Australian Holden V8 Supercars were manufactured. No such disappointment for 2010. We are pleased to announce that this year we will be able to offer two Holdens and two Fords so the rivalry between these two cars can continue on the track.
The line up this year includes the Holden VE Commdore cars driven by Will Davison and veteran Russell Ingall. This year Scalextric will manufacture the new body of the Ford Falcon FG depicting the cars driven by Mark Winterbottom and Steve Richards.
SLOT CARS IN THE MEDIA There has certainly been a resurgence back to slot cars over the past decade or so and with this interest has come more media attention. Recently leading Sydney newspaper, Sydney Morning Herald, interviewed our Jim Berry and a feature was written in probably the most unexpected section of the paper - the Money section. A link to the article can be viewed here.
It is also interesting to note that following the piece we received a barrage of calls by those who had rummaged through their attic looking to cash in on old treasures.
ANOTHER ARMCHAIR RACER The Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed is the most historic race meeting held annually in West Sussex, England. Included in the 2009 event was a display by Rowan Atkinson, a well known motoring enthusiast and a huge supporter of the event over many years.
Rowan Atkinson recreated an iconic scene from his TV show, Mr Bean. In the sketch, Mr Bean buys several items of large furniture and then realises they will not fit in his distinctive green and black Mini. Mr Bean then straps the armchair to the roof and drives home operating the car with a mop and some string.
This display highlighted two anniversaries of 2009.
The first being the 20th anniversary of the creation of Mr Bean.
The second being the 50th anniversary of the legendary British car, the Mini.
Two slot car manufacturers are producing Mini's to celebrate the Mini's special anniversary.
English company, Scalextric, has presented a model of the first ever Mini to roll off the production line 50 years ago.
Spanish company, SCX, has presented a model of the Authi Mini. The Authi Mini was manufactured in Spain during the late '60's and early 70's as a result of the Spanish Governments insistence on full local content.
Both models are presented in Limited Edition boxed sets. Full details are on the relevant car page.
THIS WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE We thought you may enjoy THIS CLIP sent to us from one of our customers; ensure you have the sound turned on.
SHOW IT OFF... This photo was sent in from the wife of one of our customers. Her remarks may echo that of other 'slot car wives'...
"he has asked me to send you these photos of his slot car rooms (Yes this is just one of the rooms). It will give you an idea of what he has done with all my money!"

WEB PAGE:
We attempt to keep our pages up to date but as our web site is not directly linked to our inventory some items showing in stock may actually be unavailable. We will notify you if this is the case.
Also there are many stock lines that we have not yet had the time to list on our web site yet so if you require anything call us as we just may carry it...

A FINAL NOTE FOR 2009: We would like to sincerely thank all our customers for your continued support over the past year.  In particular we would like to thank those who put pen to paper or finger to keyboard to either personally thank us or to make suggestions and help us improve what we do.
We have some exciting plans for 2010 and these will be unveiled as they are finalized.
We wish you and your family (who allow you to indulge in this hobby) a very Happy 2010.
From the team at Armchair Racer - Jim, Kevin, Max, Robert, Hugh, Jason, Will, Dayna and Cathy.
