          My entry for the Targa Florio.

          Fantasy Martini livery on an Alfa T33/3. The Alfa Romeo T33/3 was entered and raced in 1970 and 1971 events. The marque managed a first and second place finish in 1971.

          Fantasy livery Martini number 3.

            Great find! That release of electrical energy back into the turbo to prevent lag is genius!

                    These are a little smaller than I imagined.  

                    BTW: Where was the 512BB when I needed it!?  I bet that body weighs 1/2 to 1/3 what my Carerra shell weighs!

                        Sadly, SlotForum doesn’t offer a RSS feed.  I have dropped in NBC Motorsports for now.  It looks like SCI is having issues now… wondering if Alan has shut down that feed.

                              If we do it as a the El Piloto series we just spec it out… Even if we don’t do it as El Piloto the availability of parts will keep it fairly close to a spec series.  I would at least spec the chassis and motor.  The wheels and tires might wind up being a defacto spec, but folks can experiment.

                              The GT class has the most variation in bodies for a standard series, we could stay traditional for an El Piloto series with a Group C pack, or we could go with Porsche GT3 cars, or even something like a Lamborghini Murcielago, or Ferrari 599.  Kinda mix things up a bit.  😉

                              I think that even if the cost to build one is break-even with the BRM’s we’ll realize savings in parts as the gears should last beyond one race.  cool

                                I want to run a larger scale as part of our 2014 series, but I would rather run a 1:27/28 scale using the Kyosho Mini-Z bodies on the PN Slot Group Mini-Z chassis.

                                The price of entry is similar, probably less.  Less than $120 for a chassis and body.  Wheels and tires for another $40 to 50?

                                Food for thought.
