Just saw this...

Race: Thoroughbred Sports Car Series

Driver: Roy McCarthy

Roy McCarthy and his two sons, Russell and Spencer, formed McCarthy Motorsport using Roy’s knowledge and expertise with MGs. Over the years, the family took hundreds of podiums and class wins across many historic racing championship classes. Sadly, Roy passed in 2010 but his sons continue to race with Russell recently winning the Thoroughbred Sportscar Championship in 2015.

And for the budget racer...

The budget F1s they released in Europe a few years ago weren't as colorful as these are. And they had a FC130 motor since they weren't trying to replicate any specific type. I wonder what motor is in these.

Still have that car and it still runs well.

I believe that sold for $44.95 for a pair of them.

Without a doubt they could make a great car for a proxy race. You can use all of the tips you learn about from reading Home Racing World, as it responds very well to that type of tuning.

Great car to get young racers interested in open wheel racing.
