Never easy to measure an odd shape but with a couple of iterations I get the following at the widest point over the rear wheel arches:
Ninco: 62.85mm
MR Slotcar: 62.93mm
Slot.it (Long tail!): 62.74mm
So the MR Slotcar is the widest. But would you really be concerned about a 0.12% (Ninco) and 0.30% (Slot.it) difference?
Length is more of a difference; 134.9mm for the Ninco vs. 140.7 for the MR Slotcar: 4.3% difference.
According to Ultimate Car Page the Length X Width for the McLaren is 4,367 x 1,900. At 1/32 this would be 136.5 and 59.4 mm. The MR Slotcar is therefore just under 6% too long, 3.4% too wide. Not too shabby I would have thought. To get a sense of how this relates to slot cars generally: not all slot car proxy races have scale limits but one that I have seen has a 10% allowance. The MR Slotcar is obviously well within that.
Edit:
Sorry: I transposed the numbers at the end. The MR Slotcar is 5.9% too wide and 3.1% too long.
For comparison: the Ninco is actually a touch shorter (1.2%) than a scale 1/32 and just under 5.9% too wide.
