REVIEWS
34 HEAD TO HEAD LOTUS 72
We do compare two cars but the
focus is on the new Policar Lotus 72.
Long awaited, the engineering and
performance exceeds expectations,
and the Gold Leaf livery is a super
contrast to the Scalextric Lotus 72
JPS release.

Slot cars with real springs in the
suspension? And working side skirts?
And individual tyre set markings? These
are just some of the features of the SRC

with a special set.
