Policar have announced that two new classic F1 models are in development and are scheduled to be released around the end of 2021. There are no details of liveries, but there were enough works cars to produce some very attractive models.


   

The P153 was designed by Tony Southgate and raced in the 1970, 71 and 72 seasons in the classic BRM green, Yardley and Marlboro liveries. Powered by the in-house 3.0 litre V12, Pedro Rodríguez scored the P153's only victory at the 1970 Belgian Grand Prix. The Mexican grabbed another podium for the P153 at Watkins Glen later that year. Jackie Oliver had just one points finish in the sister car and part-timer George Eaton failed to score. 1971 saw a limited programme with Jo Siffert, Howden Ganley, Helmut Marko and John Cannon sharing one P153, while the new P160 scored all the points to put BRM second in the manufacturers' championship...

   

The P160 was more successful and spent longer in competitive action. Also designed by Southgate and powered by the BRM 3.0 litre V12, the P160 made its debut at the 1971 South African GP in the hands of Rodríguez. Siffert drove the P153 at Kyalami, but then switched to the new car for the rest of the season. Rodríguez was runner-up at Zandvoort in June, but was tragically killed in a European Can-Am race three weeks later. Vic Elford came in for one race, before Peter Gethin took over. Siffert won in Austria and Gethin at Monza for back-to-back victories. Second place in the championship has put BRM back where it had belonged for most of the 1960s.

Switching to Marlboro sponsorship for 1972, a total of seven drivers raced the P160B in world championship rounds - Ganley, Gethin and Jean-Pierre Beltoise being the lead trio. Beltoise took a famous win at Monaco in May - what would turn out to be his only Grand Prix win and the final world championship victory for BRM. The P160C was introduced towards the end of the season and used in 1973, together with the D and E versions. Beltoise, Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni picked up a handful of points to leave BRM seventh in the constructors' championship - the same position as in 1972.

   

The P201 replaced the P160E in 1974, Beltoise driving the new car from the third race of the season. Henri Pescarolo and François Migault were left with the P160E, but Beltoise's fifth place in Argentina was the final points finish for the ageing car - now in green and silvers colours and Motul sponsorship.

I would have seen the P153 and P160 several times at the Silverstone International Trophy races - Beltoise finishing second in 1972 and Regazzoni third in 1973. My dad was a big BRM supporter, having the ORMA badge on his car - so these are definitely on my shopping list for 2021 to replace (or complement?) my Scalextric P160 from the 70s.

   

Family-run company Slot Track Scenics are a fixture at most UK slot car shows and their figures and scenic accessories must grace thousands of slot car layouts around the world. Although we haven't had the chance to meet up with David, Guy and the rest of the team out on the road, they have been busy. Here are some of their new products available so far this year...

   
Slot Track Scenics Fig18 - 3 Photographers Pack B. Cast white metal figures. £13.95 unpainted / £29.95 painted.

These figures have been produced by scanning real motorsport photographers holding their camera equipment to give ultra-realistic poses. The scans are scaled down 32 times and then 3D printed before being reworked as metal masters to create the production moulds. This process was showcased at the Swindon swapmeet last January and was amazing to see.

           

The set contains all three figures, plus decals for the press bibs and full instructions for painting the figures and applying the decals.

   
Slot Track Scenics PC/Dec. 9 Pit Crew Decals – McLaren Honda. Waterslide decals. £4.45

A perfect way of customising the Slot Track Scenics Pit Crew and Timing Stand figures. Each pack includes enough decals for the front and back of at least ten pit crew members.  These are waterslide decals. Instructions are included.

       

   
Slot Track Scenics Fig 20 - Medical Crew - Pack A. Cast white metal figures. £13.95 unpainted / £29.95 painted.

After Romain Grosjean's huge crash in Bahrain, every slot car track needs these medical figures to honour the unsung heroes of F1. These three figures are cast in white metal and represent a medical team waiting to be called into action.  They were created by scanning actual people with a 3D scanner. This pack also contains a first aid box and lid, decals for the figures and box, plus three plastic bases.  Full instructions are included.

       

All these new products are available from the Slot Track Scenics website, as well as retailers such as Pendle Slot Racing.

I pick things up, I put them down. Some builds languish for years. Others dont. Most of the gang has already seen my schtick, so I'll skip up to where I'm at now, more or less.


I just finished my twist on Jim Miller's "Miss Demeanor"




I've got a couple Xcellerator based rods simmering on the back burner. The quadralam power makes for some serious fun. No real plan here, I just let them build themselves as I go from mock up, to roller, and finally to runner. What happens after that is anyones guess.

More to follow shortly. Thanks for looking!

So after reading John’s thread (Munter) and chatting to him and then locating a source of polyurethane, and going round the brexit supply issuers, here I go   

   
   

   

First time for me so a tad nervous. Gloves and syringes at the ready .

This is the plan layout for Severn Crescent Park to be constructed in the next few months.
 It will basically be shape of a track plan that came with set  seen here but also adding extra straights as you can also see here in photos.  At present you can see Circuit with the adit ion of three extra straights on each side of circuit but plan to have another four lengthstar of straights on each side.

   
HELP! Just bought a Jadlamsracingcars Set called SL2 2020 ARC PRO for my young grandchildren.
To my surprise got both cars working on both tracks first time! BUT - once I connect the BLUE - TOOTH  ARC PRO App (ALL Green Lights) and get into the 'calibration' screen  NOTHING WORKS! Does anyone know what TRACK I should choose?  As it might simply be that. (Am putting in ARC PRO)

Hi 
Could someone help me out please.
I have just completed my first scenic which was going super and the cliffs were painted ok. Then I came to drop grass on via the static electric applicator after first putting wood glue down.
This did go on pretty good the only problem is the glue can be seen under the grass ( white) even though it says on the tube it drys clear!!! As yet that hasn’t happened and it looks like it’s grass on snow. Any ideas please?. Thanking you
