A slot car modelled after history

Post by gordon »

During the 1971 Daytona 24 hours race, the Penske Racing Ferrari 512M driven by Mark Donahue "got hit by a Porsche 911 early Sunday morning causing massive damage to the body and suspension that took hours of fix and a lot of duct tape." That's putting it mildly. Here's the car during a pit stop looking rather thirdhand:

A definite highlight in history!

Now here's a wonderful replica of the car in the form of a 1/32 scale slot racer:

A historic event in racing, faithfully reproduced in a slot racer!
