GAYDON 2025
The 2025 UK Slot Festival - we bring you our
report from this important annual event held at
the British Motor Museum in Gaydon.
16 WHEN FORMULA ONE
HAS ITS WINGS CLIPPED!
We take an in depth look at the latest
Scalextric classic F1 release, the wingless
Brabham F1 car of Piers Courage.
22 HAS GIOVANNI GONE -
BACK TO THE FUTURE?
Toptoys might not be a name you have heard
of before – but you may have heard of or
even met the guy whose collaboration with the
Italian company is bringing us affordable high
end 1/24th scale club racers.
26 TRANS AM RACER THAT HAD
NO STING IN ITS TAIL!
It may have only raced at one round of the
US Trans Am series, but race it did. Scalextric
have dug through the archives to find another
use for the James Bond AMC Hornet.
30 HOW A CLUB IS BORN -
THE SPITFIRE SCC, ELHAM KENT
Club and race review. The newly formed
Spitfire Slot Car Club based in the Garden of
England have sent us a report on their all but
brief club’s history and a report of their recent
Slot.it Group C 4-hour endurance race.
34 WHEN IS A SUPERCAR NOT A SUPERCAR? -
WHEN IT’S A HIGH PERFORMANCE
ELECTRIFIED HYBRID SUPER SPORTS CAR!
While out of reach of almost everyone, in 2023
Lamborghini released their replacement for the
Aventador – the Revuelto. Scalextric have just
done their own version for us who wish to race
it, even if it is 32 times smaller.
38 TO ME - THIS IS ALMOST PERFECTION!
Perfection missed? While at Gaydon I
stumbled across a gem on a traders stand. It
was the 1967 Yenko Chevrolet Camaro from
Pioneer, and what a beauty it is!
40 THE LOLA T280 FROM NSR,
NOW SHOWS ITS TRUE COLOURS
The decorated Lola T280/290’s from NSR
finally turned up to be displayed at Gaydon.
Here we get a pre-launch peek at the Jo
Bonnier Daytona machine and a special
edition commemorating this year’s WRE 24hr
event NSR is hosting in Naples.
