Sparking Effect

Hi there! I'm not normally a part of this thread but I need help from some experienced car model hobbyists. I'm more familiar with crafting ttrpg miniatures and scenes, but I'm attempting to build something for a friend's birthday using a 1:43 scale model of her favorite F1 driver's car. I want to create a sparking effect behind the car that can light up when she hits a button, recreating what it looks like when the titanium planks on the bottom of the cars look like when they hit the pavement. I've been trying to find examples of other times someone has maybe done this before, but I don't think I have the right knowledge and vocabulary to find the answer on my own. I was looking into individual z scale lights used with model trains and rail roads. Would anyone have any advice/suggestions/examples of this type of lighting effect paired with model cars?
