This week’s slot car news…

The big news is Scalextric’s Winter 2024-5 range announcement, but there’s also a tasty Triumph from Racing Replicas, plus all the events from the SlotRacer Calendar and our pick of slot car videos and photographs.

Slot Cars

  • Scalextric New Tooling The latest crop of Scalextric new moulds include a BRM P57, Shelby Mustang GT350, Cadillac LMDh Hypercar in two liveries and a Lamborghini Revuelto.
  • Scalextric New Liveries There are sixteen new liveries on existing models in the Winter range, these four being our pick of the bunch. The little Brabham BT26 is a welcome return to the catalogue and this livery is Frank Williams’ first car as an F1 team owner.
  • Racing Replicas Triumph GT6 Pete Shepherd has created yet another incredible replica of a current historic racer. The owner’s son produced a 3D model of the car, which Pete then finished to his usual high standards. And it’s just possible the GT6 might be the next production model from Racing Replicas – who’s interested?
  • Scalextric New Releases These three Fords have been released during the past week. The two Sierra RS500s are exclusive to the Scalextric website. The Juha Kankkunen Escort WRC will be available from retailers worldwide.
