This must be the rarest McLaren and
was Bruce’s personal transport. It was
at Le Mans 11 years later. More Than
Slot have a Limited Edition of this
special car in 3 versions.
12 GULF ASTON MARTINS
Surely one of the best pairings ever
between a sponsor and a racing team.
They have cars for GT3 and LMP at Le
Mans and around the world. Now you
can race them at home thanks to Slot.It
and Scalextric.

46 SCALEXTRIC ARC AIR
One year ago we reviewed the ARC
ONE app and found it useful and easy
to use. Now there is ARC AIR with lots
of new and exciting features so we had
to have a close look. We discovered we
had bad weather, tyre blowouts, and
engine failures, but we could also race
against a Pace Car.

resist putting one together and likes the idea
of a Riding Mechanic.

Whitelock copies a real racer that tested
the theory but nobody knows if it is within the rules.

cooker, an airtight box, and a wooden

THE 1960S
Until recently these ultra-slim cars
were almost impossible to built into
successful slot racers. Specialists resin
manufacturers Pre-Wing have explored
the 1960s and have car kits for the 1.5
litre Formula 1 era. Pete Simpson is a
Graham Hill & Jackie Stewart fan and
constructs their BRM cars.
