Race Sideways SWCAR04K McLaren 720S GT3 White Kit. RRP £62.95. Available early November 2021

The McLaren 720S GT3 is a great addition to the Sideways GT3 fleet. Most importantly, it's a car that's still widely used in GT3 championships around the world. The car made its debut in the autumn of 2018 and was available for customers from the beginning of the 2019 season. Carrera already have a 720S GT3 in their range, but the arrival of the Sideways model heralds the entry of a 1:32 720S into serious slot car GT competition.

       

As much as we can see from the white kit, the moulding looks great. It's a pretty low and sleek machine in real life, so no liberties of scale need to be taken. Underneath is the usual Sideways GT layout, with the anglewinder Baby Raptor long-can motor...
