Brilliant stuff Andy
As I've said before, you do the Hornby Scalextric releases better than Hornby do!
For me, some really interesting new releases.
They clearly seem to be on the right track with the Historic Motor Sport/ retro models. Great for me, as this is the type of Motor Sport I follow and attend. The Rover Vitesse was no surprise, and fits perfectly with the recent Capri and Jaguar XJS cars.
The Mustang and Cobra are perfect editions, wasn't expecting either of those.....
Love the 1275 GT, and the Mini Miglia is a superb choice, as long it performs better than the current Mini Cooper S Historic car ( magnet out, obviously! ). Much wider tyres hopefully......
The Blue Brothers Dodge looks really cool, still love that film. But my favourite will definitely be the #19 Mick " Duffy" Collard Mk2 Escort Hot Rod. I raced Stock Cars for 14 years, and met Mick, and Rob, a few times over the years, what a character. Sometimes rather forceful in getting to the front, but on the shale at Wimbledon, or the old Aldershot (HQ), simply brilliant. Let's hope it sells in decent enough quantities so we get #351 Barry Lee, #306 George Polley, #242 Pete Stevens etc.. A truly amazing time for Hot Rod racing. The Big 3, as they were known, could almost sell out a stadium the size of Wimbledon on their own.
Not many new GT3 cars to add to our Scalextric GT CUP class ( staple class at our club), but love that new GT3 spec Porsche, so many great and varied liveries to choose from, from all over the racing world.
I sort of thought that at £50 per car I'd be buying less new releases this year, but I'm already looking at 12.
Oh well, it's only 1 per month, and I can always sell a few to make way.......
Great stuff Andy, and a big well done to all at Hornby for such a good looking 2022 release schedule.
