NSR Mosler, a tribute to Salvatore Noviello

NSR Mosler As every year NSR have made a tribute car to Salvatore Noviello, founder of the company. This Mosler comes in one of the liveries that Salvatore used to race, and the commemorative car comes in a detailed “Tribute Line” pack.

Coming Soon

BRM Opel Kadett GTE BRM have posted official photos of the three new Opel Kadett liveries which are being released this month. The #78 car was raced at the 2014 Histo Cup in Brno, the #308 took part in the 2019 KW Berg Cup hillclimb, and the third livery recreates the 1978 Rally Monte Carlo car of Ormezzano and Rudy. The rally car comes with extra lights in the box to replicate the real car.

In the Pipeline

Slot.it Datsun 510 Slot.it have posted test shots of their forthcoming Datsun 510, as it came from the mould. Slot.it are understandably keen to point out that the model is being produced under both a Nissan and a BRE license.

Tracks & Scenery

Slot Rally Hill Slot Rally Hill is another of rallyhub’s fantastic tracks. It features two different configurations and even has a 1:1024 scaled track of Slot Rally Hill itself. Hub has been taking us through the process of making his detailed scenic layout.
