ANKI OVERDRIVE is the next generation of Scalextric-style racing – and we love it.</div>
<section class="text-description"><ul>
<li><em><span style="color: green;"><strong>Pros –</strong></span> Clever New Track Tech Means You Can Completely Customise Your Race, Dukes of Hazzard-esque Jumps, Weapon Upgrades</em></li>

</section><div style="text-align: justify;">
AnkiDrive first launched in 2014 and quickly became one of the most exciting toys of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A year later – the smartphone-powered mini racers are BACK with the launch of Anki Overdrive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anki’s new invention comes with a slew of updates and tweaks but the biggest change comes in the form of the racer's all-new track tech.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of last year’s mat-style speedway, which has just one configuration, the Anki Overdrive circuit can now be fully customised with separate pieces of track slotting together magnetically.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anki has done a fabulous job with its new racing road and building a track across your takes mere minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inside the starter pack are 10 pieces of track which can create eight different circuit combinations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And, if you get bored of that, Anki is also selling extra track so your races can become as big as your house.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These bonus packs include some very cool extras including lane crossings, bridges and even Dukes of Hazzard-style jumps.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you’ve built your ultimate customer track it’s time to race and here’s when things get exciting.</div>

All the cars are intelligent and powered by your smartphone or tablet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each mini motor is packed with a tiny computer and camera that recognises player-built courses, mapping tracks at 500 data points per second. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This technology allows you to race against your mates or take on the test of beating artificially intelligent drivers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the racing doesn’t stop there as the Anki app allows you to upgrade your supercars with hundreds of new virtual weapons, upgrades and special items for all-out vehicular mayhem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This gives Anki Overdrive plenty of longevity as the more you win, the better your cars become.</div>
