Haynes Motor Museum has unveiled a Somerset-themed Scalextric track.
The museum has teamed up with Scalextric and partners, Think Scalextric, to create the unique track, which opened this month.
The new addition will allow fans to race the famous toy set in recognisable Somerset settings.
These include a miniature Glastonbury Festival Pyramid Stage, complete with festival-style toilets, and parts of Cheddar Gorge.
Drivers will also whizz past apple orchards, cider stands, and grazing cows, all portraying Somerset's agricultural heritage.
Steve Mytton, the museum's marketing and communications director, said: "It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring a household toy favourite to the museum.
"We wanted our track to have its very own theme and what better twist than to celebrate some of Somerset’s iconic backdrops.
"Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a miniature version of the museum itself, complete with the famous Red Room exhibition and Haynes Heritage Engineering, our classic car workshop."
The track also features quirky additions, such as a block of cheddar cheese with race fans on top and a car park scene inspired by the museum’s popular Breakfast Club events.
Visitors will be able to race Scalextric cars, including a Williams Formula One car, the DeLorean from Back to the Future, the Ford Anglia, the Volkswagen Beetle, the Lamborghini Countach, and the Porsche 911.
The Somerset-themed track will become a permanent part of the museum experience, available to test all year round.
Simon Owen, head of brand at Hornby Hobbies, said: "We’re thrilled to be working with Haynes Motor Museum to bring the spirit of Somerset to life in this new Scalextric layout.
"Featuring iconic attractions from the area, including the museum itself, this track offers a fun and immersive way to celebrate the region’s rich motoring heritage."
