- Niemas Jordan 191/6 Electric Dreams have released what is claimed to be the most sophisticated slot car ever made, the hand painted, 1/24 scale Jordan 191/6 from Michael Niemas. With only five ready to run models going on sale world wide, it is certainly one of the most exclusive, and at a price of $849.99 it is well beyond my pocket.

- Pendle Slot Racing Kits Pendle Slot Racing have announced five new kits, which are available now, either as body only kits, or as kits which include all the parts needed to build a complete slot car…

- Scaleauto Acura NSX GT3 Scaleauto have posted photos of three new liveries for the Acura NSX GT3, in the RS Supersport range. From left to right we have two cars from the Daytona 24 hours of 2017, with the third livery being Dreyspring & Maggi’s Honda from the 2018 ADAC GT Masters.

- BRM Ferrari 512M BRM have been shipping out the new livery for their 1/24 scale Ferrari 512M, which recreates the David Piper Autorace entry in the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car was driven to fourth place by David Weir and Chris Craft.

- NSR Porsche 917K NSR have released two new Porsche models, recreating the Gulf liveried John Wyer entries in the 1970 1000km of Spa-Francorchamps.
