14 SCALEX GOES ELECTRIC
60 years ago Scalextric launched the
world’s fi rst commercial slot car racing
sets. RICHARD HILLS looks back to
the year he was born and compares
value then to now.
20 TRANS AM THE RACES
At the beginning of the year the
Classic Slot Racing Association
(CSCRA) were pleased to
announce that the Classic Trans-Am

26 HOME FOR YOUR CIRCUIT OR A
CIRCUIT FOR YOUR HOME?
So, you want to build a permanent slot
cat track in your home, but where?
This is a question that many model
railway enthusiasts ask themselves,
and they fi nd it a diffi cult one to
answer. However, if one compares a
typical 00 model railway layout with
a slot car track, because the scale is
at least twice the size, fi nding a home
for a slot layout would be impossible,
right?
32 THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
It’s always great to review a new
product from Maurizio Ferrari and
this latest release is no exception.
Especially as I pretty much
overlooked test mouldings of this car
when I fi rst saw it on Slot.it stand in
Nuremburg back in January, I guess
at the time I thought it was too similar
to the previous LMP2 Lola but I was
wrong.
40 RUTHLESS T70’S FROM
THUNDERSLOT
Although the title might seem just a
play on words in reference to their
newly released opened top versions
of their Lola T70 - the word Ruthless
can and I am sure, will be used as
racers get hold of these ridiculously
fast cars.
46 HANG ON A MINUTE LADS, I’VE
GOT A GREAT IDEA...
…was the last quote used in the
iconic 1960’s Brit-pic the Italian Job
- and while the three minis featured
in the movie can be easily replicated
for cameo scenes, would anyone be
brave or silly enough to produce the
coach that the red, white and blue
cars drove up into...?
