Item Year Information

YEAR	INFORMATION
1986	The Mobil 05 is another Australian inspired subject, modelled on a car racing at Bathurst, 130 miles from Sydney.
1987	One of the Ford Escort family, the high performance XR3i is capable of speeds well in excess of 110 mph.
1988	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.
