The new POLICAR line of entry level models is a great way to start slot car racing with robust yet properly performing models aimed at racing at home. Policar have designed these cars with our younger customers in mind: new, modern cars with worldwide appeal, lights, a simple one piece chassis, 'easy change' braids, and of course Slot.it plastic wheels and tyres for a smooth ride. They're the models that will also be featured inside the POLICAR boxed sets.
Main features:
Chassis: rather than the usual Policar/Slot.it chassis, we've opted for a simpler, single piece solution.
Magnet: the cars are supplied with traction magnet, because it is likely that these models will also be used on tracks with very limited grip, such as those found in many homes. The same cars, when found inside the boxed POLICAR sets, will not have a traction magnets, since Policar tracks will feature adjustable power supply and good mechanical grip.
Wheels: assembled from Slot.it plastic wheels and inserts, to guarantee their roundness, a tried and tested combination on all other POLICAR models.
Lights: front lights will be standard on all these models.
Upgrades: most Slot.it high performance racing axles, crowns, tyres and wheels may be used.
Chassis upgrade: a 'racing' plastic Slot.it chassis will be made available for these models, or alternatively, 3D printed units will be available from our Shapeways web printing service.

The Ferrari 330 P4 epitomizes the glorious racing era of the '60s. Arguably the most beautiful racing car ever built, possibly the most admired today in the rare public outings of the surviving models.
Stung by the famous Ferrari 1-2-3 in Daytona, Ford had come to Le Mans sparing no effort in 1967: 10 Ford cars were lined up against 8 automobili Ferrari.
For 1967 the engine of the 330 P4 was extensively redesigned by Franco Rocchi, with three valves per cylinder and Lucas injection, but it turned out that at Le Mans swift handling was no replacement for displacement on the long Mulsanne straight.
At the end of the 24 hours battle, the Ferrari 330 P4 driven by Ludovico Scarfiotti and Mike Parkes could not match the speed of the winning Ford MK IV of Dan Gurney and A.J.Foyt, the sole Ford to take reach the finish line.
As a slot car, the old Policar model of the 330 P4 was extremely popular and still graces today the shelves of many collectors.
The link between the old Policar, the new Policar model, and the original Ferrari P4 doesn't end here: Franco Rocchi was the mentor of the graduation thesis of Maurizio Ferrari, one of the driving forces behind the resurrection of the POLICAR Italian slot car brand.
It is therefore with justified excitement that Policar announce the availability of the Policar Ferrari P4 starting June 7th.

I have just spent a pleasant 30 mins following the build of this track. I Thoroughly recommend it to you. the work is amazing. Language is French - however that makes no difference to the incredible craftsmanship shown in this thread.

All those who maybe have some old Model car Science magazines, will remember this advert by Revell in the 60's for a professional track built for home use:

   

It was converted in a couple of months into this:

I saw this in another forum, and thought it would be a good topic here.  Here's one of my fav's, but wait...there's more!

This is a fairly rare (IMHO) Fly.  The Carrera ones have more accurate colour.

If anyone has a Ninco Digital pitlane kit available and willing to sell I would be very interested in purchasing.
