Ouch This is going to be an expensive year in F1 Classics.
And thank goodness there is nothing I can do to prevent myself.

I'm with Bob - F1/GP is going to make me go BROKE this year. That P34 has my name all OVER it.

Might as well join the crowd. At least past versions of these were at least a functioning model.
Will also be interesting to see what sort of parts Policar/Slot.it release to assist those of us ready for that "rabbit hole" :)

Well, I guess I'm the odd man out. Nothing listed here really interests me very much.

The classic F1 models work. Do they work like a Slot.it? No.
I am pretty sure Mr. Johnny, that you are privvy to knowing that a Flyslot F1 CAN run smoothly. In fact with little effort. Surprised at your comment. :whistle:
The versions with the offset gearing work, but not as well or desirable as the traditional inline.
There is a fair number of MARCH and Lotus models here that run smooth and quick with just a little time on the Razor and a PG shoe change.
But we shall see what they create under the hood. Could be equal to an SRC Renault...and that would be very unfortunate.

I like those 70s F1 cars - they look fine and go well. They do run a bit better with a magnet but are tuneable to run non mag - we tend to turn the voltage down either way.
I am quite looking forward to them, my first individual slot car purchase was a AFX P34 (I still have it all be it in pieces though it is 40 years old)
I don't follow a lot of motorsport on TV - and have never been a big fan of F1 - I received a book on 1970s F1 fir Christmas the in camera series and the cars are great - such individual character about them that is missing in today's cars.
