Coming Soon

Policar Subaru WRX Policar have posted photos of several forthcoming new colours for the Subaru WRX in the Policar Home Racing series.
Policar Home Racer Subaru BRZ Brian reviewed the Policar Home Racer Subaru BRZ, and found much to be praised, not least of which was the Home Racing series’ value for money.

Slot.it Ford GT40 Slot.it have posted a prototype photo of a new livery for the Ford GT40, which recreates the John Wyer car driven by David Hobbs and Mike Hailwood to third place in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1969. The model is expected in the third quarter of 2024, and is available to pre-order.

Slot.it Lancia LC2 Slot.it have also released a prototype photo of a new Lancia LC2, which models the car driven by Andrea de Cesaris and Christian Danner in the 1988 1,000km of Monza. Also expected in Q3 2024, it is now available to pre-order.

Avant Slot Nissan 240RS Avant Slot have posted photos of two new liveries for the Nissan 240RS. Details of the liveries have not yet been released, but a little investigation reveals that the Marlboro liveried car recreates the eighth placed finisher on the Rallye Côte d’Ivoire of 1986, which was driven by Alain Ambrosino and Daniel le Saux. Similarly, the Castrol livery recreates Terry Kaby and Kevin Gormley’s seventh placed car on the 1985 Lombard RAC Rally.

Revoslot Ferrari F40 Revoslot have announced four new liveries for their Ferrari F40. Details are thin on the ground, but there are two Brummel liveried cars which raced in various endurance events in 1995, there is a Monte Shell livery which I believe won the Italian GT Championship of 1993, and an unnumbered Marlboro livery. Expected between April & June, they are now available to pre-order

Revoslot BMW 2002 At the same time, and in the same announcement, Revoslot have also revealed plans for three new liveries on their BMW 2002. Again, details on the liveries are scarce, but the #61 car seems to be a BMW 1602 driven by Niki Lauda and René Herzog at the Nürburgring 6 Hours of 1970, the #141 is an Auto Bockmühl historic racer, and the #91 car was the Heidegger Racing Team entry in the 1975 24 hours of Le Mans.
