Inspired by the remains of the pit buildings
SlotcarAcademy.com is inspired by the remains of the pit buildings of one of the most terrifying racetracks of the fifties. Almost untouched you can find in Riems-Gueux grandstands and garages of the old days. The track is out of use since the seventies. The buildings are now deserted historic monuments.

Scalextric buildings are used for the Reims-inspired pit lane at the Pleasuredome Four circuit.
