Don't know if they are all F1 cars, but I got 35 single seaters. I stopped counting there !! Very Impressive collection.

There are 99 (and suppose to be 100) cars in the pic above and planning on setting up 18 cars ... for the upcoming FRC 2016 RD224 end-of-year event. The space in the middle (6th. row) is for a second Dodge Viper which was in Gordon's care at the time.

Hopefully:
  • 2 for 5 second lap times
    4 for 6 second lap times
    4 for 7 second lap times
    4 for 8 second lap times
... and here's a list of the 18 cars from pic above I started to work on today.
  • 1 Scalextric Aston Martin DBR9
    1 Scalextric Mercedes SLR McLaren
    1 Scalextric Audi R8
    1 Scalextric McLaren MP4-12C
    1 Scalextric Mini Cooper BMW
    1 Scalextric Opel Vectra or Porsche 911 GT3R
    2 Scalextric Opel V8 Coupe (Red and Yellow)
    2 Scalextric Honda NSX (Purple and Green)
    1 Scalextric Ford Falcon V8
    1 Scalextric Lamborghini Gallardo
    1 Scalextric Ferrari F430
    1 Scalextric Porsche 911 GT1
    1 Scalextric Corvette C6R
    1 SlotIt Lancia LC2
    1 Ninco Audi R18
    1 Ninco Renault Megane (this car would be the 101 car but is still in Arden's care)
I know it's plenty to bring at the circuit but just feel I could :D

The only thing to figure out ~ which car would be doing what sort of times. Although, I am sure the Lancia LC2 and the Audi R18 cars are in the first group :-)

You surprised me with all those cars being prepared Luke. That's great news. You'll probably have a number of them overlapping each other but at least you'll have a range to work with.

Thanks for the support fellas and have sort of an idea (with those 2 known lap times) what cars are going to be the slowest to the fastest ...
  • 1 Scalextric Aston Martin DBR9
    1 Scalextric Mercedes SLR McLaren
    1 Scalextric Audi R8
    1 Scalextric McLaren MP4-12C
    1 Scalextric Mini Cooper BMW ~ Lap time 7.5 seconds
    1 Scalextric Ford Falcon V8
    1 Scalextric Lamborghini Gallardo
    1 Scalextric Ferrari F430
    1 Scalextric Porsche 911 GT1
    2 Scalextric Opel V8 Coupe (Red and Yellow)
    2 Scalextric Honda NSX (Purple and Green) .
    1 Scalextric Opel Vectra or Porsche 911 GT3R
    1 Scalextric Corvette C6R ~ Lap time 5.7 seconds
    1 SlotIt Lancia LC2
    1 Ninco Renault Megane
    1 Ninco Audi R18
Although qualifying all these cars will produce the true results.

It's really going to be an interesting and entertaining evening of slot car racing and fellowship :-)
