I am sure that everyone remembers "Swatch" the Swiss watches that were a craze in the 80's.......well, after extensive negotiations, Swatch has agreed to a lucrative sponsorship deal for the Walker Racing's entry in this years GT3 series.

"With the enormous worldwide popularity of model car racing, and the millions of viewers following this series, we could hardly sit on the sidelines",....said a Senior Swatch spokesperson .

Cheers
Chris Walker



Just noticed,...a few more detail bits to be added.

Did a quick weight estimate. Should be in the 105 to 109 gram range when I'm done. Gotta be careful with the bracing.

Tequila I'm lovin it but it's not an anglewinder. Definitely looking forward to seeing this one run in the Proxy. And be careful, slot car building can be hard on the body.
