Years ago none of the cars I raced at an ECRA club ( in UK) had magnets (1970) for weight we used plasticine ! Now the cars I have recently bought all have magnets, slot-it, Racer and Scalextric.
So…. I have got used to the handling of all the cars but just wonder is there an advantage to having them fitted, presumably the grip is greater and therefore easier to drive ? The club doesn’t mind us using magnets and most of us are novices. I seem to remember I could hang the tail out on my Galaxie without coming to grief, sorry for the rambling, should I just enjoy racing and forget there are magnets inside ??
