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.

suspension? And working side skirts?
And individual tyre set markings? These

with a special set.
