The black and gold livery that adorned Lotus F1 cars

other cars too, or did they? We spill the beans.

We take a 1970’s toy like slot car and try our best to
fill a gap in the JPS Lotus collection. It was a bit of a
Horror story!

manufacturers.
36 PRODUCT REVIEW - SLOT CAR TEST BENCH
Ray Lego gives us a wonderful insight into this
amazing piece of slot cat tech. Perhaps not for the
average slot racer, but then Ray is not your average
slot car racer!
39 PRODUCT REVIEW - THE HARRY POTTER FORD
ANGLIA FROM SCALEXTRIC
You will believe a car can fly, well you did if you were
10 years old and watched the movie “Harry Potter
and the Chamber of Secrets”.
40 REAL EVENT - THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL 2024
I dont think I have missed one of these since the
inaugural event back in 1998. Unfortunately this
year’s meeting was dampened literally by the bad
weather.
