Yes I missed that:

Volvo is E.2 (S-can, inline)
Megane & Falcon are E.3

Whilst in many ways today has been totally miserable and a disaster, I did manage some Volvo versus Volvo track time.

The SCX with a WSL chassis versus the Scalex with PSR chassis.
Both cars had the same motor, wheels and tyres.
With just body glazing and chassis (no interiors)

Running the chassis only both were running very similar lap times, with perhaps the wider track of the SCX version slightly better for stability. After fitting the bodies the car weights (as they are) gave a 10gram lower weight advantage to the Scalex Estate. And in terms of stability both seemed comparable without any added ballast. The lap time however was in favour of the Estate by about 0.4 secs on a 10 sec lap time.
I run out of time to try any ballast additions to improve handling which hopefully, barring any more bad news, I will do later in the week or weekend.

I'm on chassis #4 with the Audi A4, up 'til now I couldn't make it nice to drive but think I'm making progress.

...when all else fails add more lead 

Well this is a constant voltage test, it runs OK but the true test will be on our club track where it disappointed.

Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh, it's tall & narrow with high ground clearance and never going to handle like a Mosler

Finally happy with the Audi A4, it was starting to bother me

A short video, track tests, both cars close-up, closing comments.

looks like a very wide car that 406, I hope its to scale

It won't be for a "Touring Car"! 

That looks like the silhouette racer version that Spirit did alongside their genuine touring car version of the 406 Coupe.

Are the Megane and Toledo silhouette cars allowed in your event?

Edit;

Not that the Ninco Audi A4 is likely to be scale width either.

Yes I have permitted Silhoutte Touring cars, eg SCX Megane is permitted and they are similar width to the DTM cars. But this Spirit Model looks exceptionally wide ?

RE: Global Touring Cars Slot Car Challenge Proxy 2026 - car builds - Kevan - 6th-Feb-26

That Ninco Audi A4 is 56mm across the tyre walls (event limit is 58mm)
The Spirit Peugeot is 63.6mm across the tyre walls (event limit is 64mm)
