The May 2022 edition of Slot Car Magazine has just been published - ready for a busy weekend at the UK Slot Car Festival later this month. Ric and Marc will be there with boxes full of the latest magazine, plus plenty of back issues - and some goodies to give away in a prize draw. But you don't have to wait until Gaydon to buy your copy... it'll be available as an ebook from Lulu and as a print magazine from Pendle Slot Racing.

Here's what's in Issue 66...

• TTS March 782 by Marc Abbott. It’s big... it looks good... it has a metal chassis... but will the drive match the promise? Marc finds out.
  
• Book Review by Gary Cannell. “Amazing Hobbies – Slot Cars” by Carlo Tonalezzi is given the once-over by the equally amazing Gary Cannell.
  
• What The Flux Is Going On? by Tony Di Pastena. We’ve got to get Back To The Future with Tony’s comparison of the Scalextric DeLorean versions 1 and 2.
  
• Travlin’ Man by Andy Player. Andy tries not to get (us) lost with the Slot-Nav navigational idea for rallying. Now, where were we?
  
• Scalextric Honda Civic by Andy Player. What the BTCC? Andy tests the latest Civic version. Was he impressed? Did he take the magnet out? Is the Honda a winner?
  
• Scalextric Modified Series by Andy Player. A great day at Brands as Andy caught up with some drivers, reading a certain well-known magazine, at the Scalextric-sponsored event.
  
• Micro Scalextric by Andy Player. A few little marvels! Andy gets his lucky mitts on some pre-production images of Micro cars coming from the forthcoming range.
  
• Words Of Wisdom by Ric Woods. David Wisdom is an enigma in the world of scratch and modified builds. Here, he lets us delve into his thoughts and processes.
  
• Renault 5 Alpine by Hub Habets. Hub found this little blue Renault by Le Mans Miniatures irresistible. Did it match its looks on track?
  
• Ron Trackside Figures by Hub Habets. If anyone can improve or enhance a good-looking product, Hub can. He seems more than impressed with Ron’s work too.
  
• WIN!!! from SRC. Look... just grab your phone, tablet or mouse and send us an email. You, yes YOU, could be the proud owner of two slot cars. Yes TWO! YOU!
  
• Hang On To Your Bits by Tony Di Pastena. Take a pile of discarded junk and start recycling. Tony did and planet Slot is all the better for it.
  
• NSR McLaren by Mark Long. A moment of pre-Christmas madness saw Mark spend all the housekeeping on just one car. Was he impressed? Has his Mrs taken legal action?
  
• Competition from webuyanyscalextriccar.com. What a hoard of goodies they have to give away! Plus, it’s so easy to enter. Go on, give it a go...
  
• Pretty In Pink Pt1 by Gary Skipp. It’s a sad day when your trusted favourite long-distance car has fought its last battle, but Gary hasn’t forgotten the good times.
  
• Ferrari 412P by Ric Woods. Always reserving a soft spot for his classic sports cars, Ric has a close look at the latest Policar Ferrari.
  
• The World Of Dilworth. Does West Hamley wallaby a centre for abandoned exotic pets?
