A scalextric set is a set used to build electric race tracks for toy cars. In a typical set you will find a few road pieces, each with a rail used to connect the toy cars. Along with 2 remote controls to operate the toy cars, as long with the card itself. So, a scalextric set can be used to race toy cars.
