Putting together a new order on Slot Cars Direct on Boxing Day I saw there is a new Mega G+ twin pack of champ cars available at long last. Brand new liveries bringing back some old favourite AFX sponsors including Van-K from the old Super G days. 

The cars arrived this morning and they look fantastic. Very pleased with them. Now if AFX could release a white body as well then things will be very rosy indeed. I should add I've not checked their website to see if they have released one or not but SCD aren't stocking it if they are.

It is certainly good to see some new Formula car liveries! There were a few on the old Mega-G chassis - plus a white paintable body - but they are not easy to convert to the new chassis. AFX do white bodies for both the Mega-G+ Nascars and the new Audi R18 LMP1, so some white Formula bodies definitely make sense. They would sell loads.

I checked the AFX site and there is no white body available as yet. So I popped the question into a contact form and sent it to them.

I urge as many people as can to do the same so they can see there is a demand for this body.

In reality the cars look a lot better than they do in Racemasters own 'library' photo.

   

Just LOVE this VanK update.

   

The Core is not too bad either

Van-K is my preferred one too but as i've just finished my son's new cars in a black and red Dow livery he's bagged it. Makes sense.

I just ran them both in yesterday for hours and flipped the magnets so they're ready to rock.

The Core car brings the 2004 Willims Renault to mind:

Core is an inverted Renault into terms of colours on the nose but reminiscent like you say. 

Had a reply from Elyse at Racemasters and she said to check back later in January when they have a better idea of the year's range.

There are a couple of twin-packs ready for the WHO shop. There are some new racers in the market for cars, so that's perfect timing - and a very good price.
