I may be a neophyte to the serious world of competitive slot racing, but I don’t understand why you limit the F1 slot cars to Scalextric only. I also am not 100% in accordance with the “no magnets” rule for F1 either, as the real F1 cars are designed to give the maximum amount of downforce possible. In fact, a real F1 car generates so much down force that in theory it could drive upside down on a ceiling at 120 MPH. That is why real F1 cars don’t “drift” and how they hug the tight turns so well. In fact, the drivers are subjected to over 4G’s in some turns. I would gladly participate in an F1 race where any and all magnets were allowed as long as they did not interfere with the look or integrity of the stock chassis, and I would really like to see how the various types stand up against each other, being that some brands have turning front wheels while others don’t. I need to keep abreast of what is going on with you all as I would really like to participate in the next F1 race, mags or no mags, scaley or otherwise.
Yep. Been there. Done that. After Ary nudged me in the back straight with my own car, I hit that tree and lost the right front splitter off the car. Still need to re-glue that piece back on.
Thanks to all who participated and Brian for handled all the timing and scoring. This was some of the best fun and racing I’ve seen. Congrats to Ary for winning. He had to work for it. 😉

I’ll be using the white Kenwood Porsche regardless of the pedestal wing.
Marty,
If we land a BRM Regional, I guess you’ll have to take down those beautiful new track controller holders since they are not BRM-Branded. What about the braid on the track and, ohmygod, the track paint? BRM, I hope 😀
