Another Vintage Sports potential winner...
Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:49 pm
Hi Guys,
After the successful debut of two Slot.It Ford GT40s in the Vintage Sports class at our last event, I thought I'd bring your attention to another Slot.It car which qualifies for the class. Slot.It's Chaparral 2E is another car from the era which promises to be not only a beauty, but also a beast. With its sidewinder chassis configuration (as opposed to the inline Ford GT40's) it has all the design ingredients to be a top contender in the class.
The original car competed in the mid-60's primarily in the Can-Am series but also raced in international sports car and prototype races:
Here's Slot.It's beautiful (and no doubt fast) replica of the number 65 car:
I know that many of you are thinking "That wing will last two laps" but for about US$6.00 you can order the "tearproof" kit made of flexible, rubberised plastic:
I'm sure that whoever acquires one of these will not regret it.
