Sebring 2018

I know I live in the past with auto racing, but the old days sure appealed more to me. The cars were similiar, but each had a distinctive desingn compared to todays prototypes. Also they just plain looked better! To me!

That’s cool Eric we could have seen each other at the track and not even realized we’re both sloters. I’m about 30-45 min north of the track (mosport) depending on if I’m driving the car or the truck :D

I'm not really big on the modern LMP style models. However it would be a cool concept for Scalextric to revisit the Caddy again.



In perspective, these models were priced under $40 and we all thought they were just outstanding looking and running models.

Maybe time to do it again? :)

Yeah, the WSC cars were at least different looking. SCX made the 333SP, I think Scaley made the Caddy and the R&S, and Fly made the Joest Porsche. That was about it....there wasn't much else as I recall. There were TopSlot kits of course.

The modern prototypes are all wind tunnel designed and the billboards are ugly imo.

That's why the GT1s took off in the early 90s....people wanted fast cars that looked like something after Group C went away.
I can envision the same thing happening again....it would be the same cycle all over as it has been since the 50s.
