The Racing Room
SCALEXTRIC at The Dragon
Built and managed by The Racing Room, the SCALEXTRIC track at The Dragon is one of Nottingham’s hidden gems!
Paying homage to its host city, the SCALEXTRIC circuit at takes you on a whistle-stop tour of Nottingham, and even features ‘Mini-Me’s’ of real, local people. Stop by a miniature version of The Dragon as you rip it up round the Old Market Square, dash around the Castle on route to the Trip to Jerusalem, and fly through the caves as you race to the finish line!
Book a SCALEXTRIC PARTY to celebrate your birthday, stag or hen do, work's knees up or other special occasion. Or, if you just fancy a pint and something different to do for a night out join in the racing fun at RACE NIGHT 1st Tuesday of every month. You can also pick up a last minute gift at The Racing Room Shop.
SCALEXTRIC PARTY
The Racing Room at the Dragon is available to exclusively hire for birthday parties, work dos, stag and hen parties, special occasions or just having fun humiliating your friends as you leave them trailing in your dust!
The Racing Room can be booked on an hourly basis and we will tailor the racing formats to suit you, the amount of time you have booked and the size of your party.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN RACE?
To ensure everyone has a good time and gets plenty of race time we recommend a maximum of 10 racers for a 1 hour booking and 2 hours for a maximum of 20 racers.
If your party is larger than 20 people contact us to discuss your requirements and we can tailor a party package to suit.
WHO CAN RACE?
Adults 18 years and over are welcome to book a party any time of the day. For children's parties we recommend afternoons up until 6pm and are restricted to a maximum of 10 children per party.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE DAY?
On arrival each guest is given a driver briefing and some time to practice their racing skills. A racing tournament is then drawn up with 6 guests racing simultaneously in each race. Each guest will race in at least 6 races, accumulating points throughout the tournament and concluding with a podium presentation of medals for the top 3 winners. It's a bit like a mini F1 season crammed into an afternoon/evening.
For very small parties we are able to add special features to the game play, such as fuel loads and pit stops, endurance racing and qualifying.
RACE NIGHT
Join in the racing fun at The Racing Room’s weekly RACE NIGHT! Open to anyone aged 18 and over to drop in and have a go, or compete in friendly races, with medals awarded for the top three winners.

Can I bring my own car?
Yes! But as the track is Scalextric Sport Digital you will need to have a chip installed which can be purchased from most model shops. Before using it on The Racing Room circuit your car will need to be tested (just bring it along before you want to race it).
Racing your own car is at your own risk. Don’t be a cry baby if someone else breaks your prized hot rod, we will not get involved in disputes over broken wing mirrors and spoilers!
