I thought HM7000 would have piqued your interest as it is a wireless control system, with the decoders also compatible with standard DCC. Hornby are the first mainstream manufacturer to go down the wireless control pathway.

Slot car technology has always piggy-backed on the massively bigger model railway hobby. I suspect the Scalextric team have looked at HM7000...

That’s cool.
I wonder where they got the idea from?
I showed Hornby CEO and team all that in 2009. Too far ahead of the market they said. Big mistake. Maybe millions missed out on.

I also designed a DCC compatible wireless train system in 2010 that I showed the train community funnily enough called the MPD. I just got a bunch of nasty old grumps who said it could never work so I kept it to myself even though I proved it was actually cheaper and more functional with a local area network handling 2 way wireless Comms 100 more efficiently. 

I see they 8 configurable sounds to choose from, identical spec to my surround sound system I’m bringing out one day based on the MPD.

For years the train guys had it over us. Now it’s the other way around. We have the best comms, wireless upgradable gear, wirelessly configured gear, smallest decoder etc. 
No doubt wireless is the future but unless you have a world distribution network you’ll never be a global competitor. I predicted all manufacturers follow my system with no power base, straight DC power to rails and all run by app or PC. So far Scorpius, 02 and SCX have. 
If Hornby does go this route Carrera  will be the only non wireless system.
