As scientists around the world race to create a COVID-19 vaccine, the staff at one café in Prague have taken up a different kind of race.
Mlynska café set up an electric slot car track on its bar as the restaurant remains closed to indoor dining, Reuters reported.
Staff at the café, which is popular with the local arts community, are still working to prepare takeout orders, according to the report, but now they have something to keep them occupied in between orders. They decided to set up the track after one worker found it in storage at home.

The race track twists between beer taps, banks past a stack of wine glasses on the bar and even includes a loop-de-loop between two tables.
