Porsche 804, not Honda.

And, Bangers Racing, not Team Tatters!

Yep! corrected that, can't have 3 cars in a Team

I can just see the "postie van up the road" so will know in the next half hour if we have a full house or not.


So, Start your engines for the Summer Grand Prix Proxy

Graham, the #6 Classic is a Porsche 804 not a Honda.

 well it looked like a Honda..... I wonder if Honda stole the design.
but I have changed it now

Scaley Porsche 804, I have the same one, not the most accurate 804 I will admit but they can be made to go really well with some (a lot) of help

To be honest apart from posting the wrong Team name and it seems the wrong car name, I was not sure if it actually was a "Porsche 804" I think they were sold by Scalextric as Formula Junior cars, but when I googled the history of "Formula Junior"  I could not find any Porsche car listed.....but it looks similar to the Cartrix Porsche 804, so I will stick with that for now.

Definitely a Porsche Graham, at least according to Scalextric. LINK

There were 4 formula juniors - Lotus, BRM, Cooper and Porsche. None of them bore any great resemblance to the real thing and they were unmitigated rubbish on the track but they were cheap entry level cars. I look forward to running the Porsche in my round of the proxy and finding out how Bangers Racing got one to run properly.
