=== Micro Scalextric === Micro Scalextric (or MicroScalextric, as appears on product boxes)<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scalextric.com/uk-en/shop/sets/micro-scalextric.html|title=Scalextric Micro Scalextric, sets, cars & my first Scalextric slot cars|website=scalextric.com|access-date=20 February 2019}}</ref> was launched on 1 February 1994 (then known as Scalextric Micro MR-1) at the Olympia toy fair. It became available to the public in October of that year and used a much smaller track geometry to the standard Scalextric product. Many of the Micro MR-1 models were re-badged products manufactured by Marchon, Inc. In 1995, again at the Olympia toy fair, a new track system was introduced along with new vehicles. At the same time Scalextric Micro MR-1 was re-branded as Micro Scalextric. The Micro Scalextric range is aimed at children four years of age or older and has a scale of [[1:64 scale|1:64]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scalextric.com/uk-en/our-ranges-explained|title=Scalextric {{!}} Our Ranges Explained|website=scalextric.com|access-date=20 February 2019}}</ref> and is often, incorrectly, described as HO scale ([[1:87]]). There is also a 'My first Scalextric' range, aimed at 3-year olds. In February 2019 a new track system was introduced.<ref>{{Citation|last=OfficialScalextric|title=Scalextric {{!}} 2019 Top Picks (You Might Have Missed!)|date=18 January 2019|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWVXAk_4nDw|access-date=20 February 2019}}</ref> [[Warner Bros.|Warner Bros]] have licensed a number of [[Looney Tunes]] characters for use in the Micro Scalextric range of products. The latest (2019) range Micro Scalextric slot car motors run on 9v, which is different to earlier Micro Scalextric vehicles.
