Video: Quantum Levitation means Scalextric is SO last millennia

If you were part of what is affectionately known as 'The Playstation Generation' you'll have heard of a game called Wipeout: a racing game that pits hoverships (occasionally with meaty weapons) against one another in fast paced, high speed competitions. It was fast, frantic and rather good fun (also incredibly designed).

Now, having levitation technology to propel our personal transport would be rather wonderful – especially as it would chance the aural roadscape somewhat - but that's not on the cards for now. Unless you want your Scalextric set to be a little more... floaty.
