Warehouse operator has spent SIX years and £12,000 building 165ft Scalextric track
MOTOR racing fan Tony Sivyer has built a Scalextric track 165ft long — in his spare room.
Tony, 53, from Bournemouth, spent six years and £10,000 on the 12ft by 8ft layout.
He said: “I’m not good at engineering so it’s been a challenge.”
The track has also has a “Monaco grand prix” tunnel and a replica of the famous Dunlop Bridge at Donington Park.
Tony has almost 200 cars and bikes to race on it.
The incredibly-detailed track has floodlights, safety barriers and advertising hoardings.
He has even had a 1:32 scale plastic model of himself made which sits on the side of the course.

Tony said: “My parents bought me a Scalextric track when I was a child but I got bored with it quickly as when you are that age you can’t control the cars.
“However, about 20 years ago, my girlfriend bought me a motorcycle Scalextric game as she knows I love motor racing, and it stemmed from there.”
