Pre-production samples of the first two liveries have just arrived at Racer HQ in France...
Sideways SW79 Ford Escort Mk2 RS Turbo Zakspeed #2 'D&W' - Walter Nussbaumer DRM Zolder 1979.
And the second livery...
SW76 Ford Escort Mk2 RS Turbo Zakspeed #53 'Mampe' - Armin Hahne DRM Norisring 1978.
Both are classic DRM liveries - and both scheduled to be produced by Teamslot in 2021 (see
here). There are plenty of classic and modern liveries to go around and the two makes will probably appeal to different markets - the Teamslot cars selling at a lower price point.
These ones will - of course - fit perfectly into the popular Racer Sideways Group 5 range...
There are no release dates as yet for these Racer Sideways cars - I'll let you know when there is.

Both Racer Sideways and Teamslot have been fighting an uphill battle to get their Escort Zakspeed models to market. From a recent post on the Racer Facebook page, it looks like they will win the race - claiming the Mampe liveried Escort will be shipped to distributors in 'early March'...
No firm news on the various Teamslot Zakspeeds, but I did hear that they are not far off. It could still be a close-run thing.

The Black/Yellow /Red is out, not mad on that, but the Black/Blue one I may get when its out.
Notably, the white kits didn't surface at the same time for some reason

Received mine today, usual sideways fit and finish that I rate quite highly.
May struggle in a straight fight against the other group 5s as it's short, narrow chassid and tall, the body also comes in at 20g with no interior or wing attached. But short overhangs and a pretty optimised guide to rear axle length so who knows! Will be able to test it out in a couple of weeks time.

A bit like the Lancia Beta then.
