Scalextric 2014 Releases
The year of the Classic F1!

Its the most exciting time of the year, (if your as much of a slot addict as I am) the time when we get to find out the model releases we can look forward to adding to our collections during the following year!

Always a favourite, the Maserati makes a return in 2014, 1958 British Grand Prix, Carroll Shelby. The Bentley GT3 is going to be huge and not just physically! Disappointingly however, no mention of the Bentley Speed 8. Bound to be hugely popular here in Australia, the next XB livery, Bathurst 1975 Hardie Ferodo 1000. A stunning Chevrolet Camaro livery driven by Duane Winkel. Scalextric will be releasing several Exige liveries in 2014, get set for the first to probably be a super resistant body.

GALLERY: Sideways Capri JPS

Sideways Ford Capri Zakspeed Gr. 5
SWLE01, Limited JPS Edition, Numera

Sideways' JPS Ford Capri is one of the most stunning slot cars I have ever seen, I've done my best to capture just how impressive this slot cars is but you really need to see one in the flesh and judge for yourself.  Sideways only released 1008 of these beauties, combine the limited run with the popularity of the JPS livery and you've got one popular slot cars.

As we have come to expect from Sideways, (insert Racer here) decal quality is at high standard and the paint job is perfect as far as my eyes can judge.   As you can see from the photos, detail levels on the Capri are excellent and when comparing to a Fly model, I would say the standard is even higher - is that possible?
