Ahead of the UK launch of the new Volkswagen Golf GTI on 22nd May 2009, Volkswagen has presented a Scalextric track to allow all office chair enthusiasts to take part in real racing. Even 15 minutes will be enough to get addicted to the game.

Visit the GTI Project website and find yourself behind the wheel of a new Volkswagen GTI. The car looks like a toy one, but the game is surprisingly realistic and impressive. The navigation is as easy as ABC – you should press only one button in order your car to move forward as quickly as possible. Be careful and avoid spinning off of the track. If you manage to show the best time – you will have an opportunity to drive a new Golf GTI for three months.

I am not a very capable gamer so I would like to confess that my favourite part in the game is the way the giant engineer puts the car back on track when I fail. He looks like a doctor, lol.

Don’t miss!
