Thanks to Hub's encyclopaedic rally knowledge - and his very keen eye for detail - the 1971 RAC Escort will be put right before it is signed off for production. 

The 2022 cars I mentioned early on - the Goodwood Cobra, weathered Aston DBR9 and the Andretti Formula-E models have all be delayed because the Scalextric team weren't 100% happy with the colour matches on the samples from the factory. The team's philosophy is they want every car to be spot-on before it goes into production - even if that means a delay. Afterall, once a model goes on sale, any errors are there forever...

On that basis, if anyone does see any errors in the images on this thread - or the 3D animations on the Scalextric website - you can be part of the process of putting them right. The team do keep a close eye on forums and social media - or you can contact Scalextric directly. Sometimes there will be valid reasons for a model differing from the original - as with the Dragon Snake Cobra or the 2021 James Hunt Camaro.

@Mileage712 - the new modern F1s are not DPR, the cars are just too narrow at the point where the C8516 plug would be fitted. Scale accuracy comes first. Tony Sivyer has been sharing his chipping adventures with the latest Scalextric F1 models on various UK Facebook groups - the C7005 retro fit chip has proved ideal for these conversions. If you do want a DPR single-seater, the Formula-E cars take the C8516 and a suitably robust for digital racing!
