Our round up of the week’s slot car news!
Featuring a host of new liveries, four BMWs, three Alfas, a Mclaren, and a VW, plus the latest proxy results, upcoming events, video and podcast.
Slot Cars
- SRC BMW 2.8 CS SRC have announced a new livery for their BMW 2.8CS. The model reproduces the Castrol livery which raced in the 1971 24 Hours of Spa with Dominique Moorkens and Jean-Louis Haxhe at the wheel.
- Slot.it McLaren M8D Expected in the fourth quarter of the year, this extravagantly liveried McLaren M8D models the car driven by Ed Felter in the Can-Am race at Laguna Seca in 1973. Hopefully the Slot.it car will do better than the real car which was involved in an accident on lap 2 and retired.
- Revoslot BMW & Alfa Romeo Revoslot have unveiled plans for new liveries for their Alfa Romeo GTA AM and BMW 2002Ti. The release dates are unknown.
- Avant Slot Alpine A310 The three new liveries for the Avant Slot Alpine A310 are expected in the UK this week.
Slot Racing
- Rally Cars Slotting Proxy The rally proxy event moved on to Wye Valley, where two stages were run on the Quarry and Camel tracks. The results are in and some fantastic photos have been posted.
- Official Results & Reports The official results for the rally proxy are now being posted as a live Google Sheets spreadsheet, which is a first here on the site, and should provide a comprehensive set of information for every round.
Slot Tracks
- Infinity Motorsports Park Ken’s Toronto track room has had a bit of a spruce up, with a new lighting system and some photos on the wall. The custom built track is a clever, compact design with sweeping corners and elevation changes.
