Scalextric Tyrrell French GP 1971
C3482A, Limited Edition of 3000

Ok so you've already heard me refer to 2014 as the year of the classic F1 in our fantastic world of slot cars.  We knew it wouldn't be long till we started to see these stunning pieces of history being released and it looks like Scalextric will be getting the ball rolling with the Tyrrell F1 from 1971.  I'm pretty sure you'll all agree that this slot is going to be a must have which presents a bit of an issue as Scalextric will be limiting this release to just 3000 units.  Needless to say, preorder one if you're after one for your collection.  

From Scalextric: 'The 1971 French Grand Prix took place for the first time at the brand new Paul Ricard circuit in the mountains outside Marseille. Jackie Stewart gained pole position from Clay Regazzoni, Jacky Ickx and Graham Hill.

From the start, Stewart streaked ahead, setting fastest lap on lap 2 and pulling out a 10-second lead by lap 7. It was a 1-2 success for the Tyrrells on a tricky circuit, the Ford engine providing extra power down the very long Mistral straight. Cevert, having qualified 7th, fought his way to a 2nd place finish behind team partner Stewart.'

NEWS: Scalextric Corvette 60th

Corvette 60th Anniversary
C3368A Limited Edition of 3000

Scalextric have just released some images of their upcoming 60th anniversary LE Corvette box set which is due for release in August this year.  Limited to only 3000 units, the set contains the Stingray L88 and its modern evolution, the C6R with famous starts and stripes racing livery.

Scalextric have always been the masters of the box sets and I think this one will be popular, obviously and particularly in the USA.

From Scalextric; '2013 marks the 60th anniversary of a true American icon and one of the world’s most desirable sports cars; the Chevrolet Corvette. Now in its sixth generation, and an instantly recognisable symbol of American motoring history, the Corvette has grown from humble beginnings into a world class, high performance road car and an endurance racing legend.

This presentation box contains a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray L88 and Chevrolet Corvette C6R. Each highly detailed Scalextric model boasts an honorary 60th anniversary livery; in keeping with the spirit and energy of the Corvette throughout its enigmatic years. As long as there is Chevrolet, there will always be the Corvette.'
