Item Year Information
| YEAR | INFORMATION |
|---|---|
| 1986 | Because of its relatively large size and weight, the Capri is a specially good car for the less experienced Scalextric driver. |
| 1987 | The well equipped model features front and rear spoilers. It represents one of the large number of Capris that have so often been successful in Saloon Car races. |
| 1989 | All the Scalextric Rally Cars are fitted with a standard type motor, rear axle contrate drive gear and pick-up system.
However, they have different driving characteristics due to varying centres of gravity, wheel/tyre sizes, weight, wheel track etc. Thus rallying with mixed car types will be as interesting as with real cars and, of course, the design of the track circuit will have an influence on the result. |
| 1992 | Rally cars tend to come in all shapes and sizes. Some are sponsored by large consortiums with professional drivers, others are private entries whose sponsorship relies heavily on the drivers local business acquaintances.
There are various types of rallies which are raced in all parts of the world. Some are raced over rough terrain, others on normal tarmac roads. Many of the lessons learned during these gruelling drives are later incorporated into the normal standard family saloon giving greater safety and reliability to the driving public at large. The Scalextric Rally Cars shown are typical of the cars seen competing in all ports of the world. |
| 1993 | Rallying, the term used for cars in competition with each other on and off public roads. This is how most dictionaries define rallying. It is a time when cars are put through the most gruelling of treatment and a time when only the fittest survive.
Due to the inherent durability of the Scalextric Rally Cars a breakdown mid race is something that rarely happens. Given this comfort the Scalextrlc driver can fully concentrate on racing and beating the opposition to the finishing line. The Scalextric Rally car models are based on those vehicles that can be seen racing in many parts of the world. From a Ferrari to an Escort they are all hoping to be number one just like Scalextric. |
