Posted by David Tilley on Feb 3, 09 01:32 PM in Charity/voluntary


Boy racers were in model car heaven when a national Scalextric competition was launched at a Neasden school last week.
Pupils at John Kelly Boys' School in Crest Road got the chance to meetmotoring expert and Top Gear presenter, James May, and World Slot Car Champion, James Cleave.
The aim of the Scalextric4schools challenge is to inspire students to consider taking science and engineering related subjects.secondary school children are asked to design their own Scalextric car, manufacture it, fit it with a motor then drive, train and race it on a standard Scalextric track.
The overall winner will be chosen by their race position, the quality of their car and their portfolio, which will explain the design and manufacturing process.
