Item Year Information

YEAR	INFORMATION
1986	Motor racing and rallying are expensive sports. For the champions and top class people, sponsorship by large companies helps to pay the bills. For the up and coming hopefuls it is usually a matter of doing everything themselves as economically as possible. Scalextric recognises that many people are similarly placed and offers these simplified vehicles at keen prices. They perform in the same dashing manner as the other cars but are a little less elaborately finished.
1987	These are special cars supplied with less elaborate decoration schemes to suit less well equipped pockets. The electric pick-up, guide blade and motor drive systems are exactly the same as for other vehicles giving an equivalent performance.
1990	With underpan.
1991	Motor racing in the international classes needs the skill that only comes from experience. Top drivers have to work their way up from the bottom. Scalextric provides cars for less experienced drivers. They are fitted with standard motors, gearing and pick-ups but have less elaborate bodywork and decoration. They are toughly built to withstand the inevitable pile-ups and ill-judged leaps to be expected from would-be champions.
1992	Many of today's top Formula One racing drivers developed their skill in the smaller and less powerful single seat racing cars during their younger years. The selection of cars on these pages are based on the type of car used for the 'first drive' and have been robustly constructed to withstand the knocks and bumps of the future Formula One driver.
