The Scalextric Guinness World Speed Record has been smashed by celebrity Dallas Campbell.
He set a new speed equivalent to 983.88mph with a Honda F1 model Scalextric racer.
That beats the previous record by almost 300mph, which stood at 696.90mph.
It was achieved on a 200-foot stretch of track set up at the VK Chatsworth Rally Show.
Former rally champion Steve Perez was on hand to help out and said: "It's amazing that cars of this size can achieve equivalent speeds of over 900mph, with Dallas achieving a terrific feat by smashing the world record by some margin."
