With passion

Strange to say, even the boiling golden era of late 80s, I did not pay attention to the formula one. Even though I wanted to enjoy watching longer racing, it didn't make me so because the cars were too fragile and would be out cause of only one crush.

Those days I prefered to watch WRC. Rally cars and drivers were very tough and never gave up to finish the line. I was so fascinated by them that was the golden time group A and late group B showed great performance.

But now, I simply adore F1.  Many people say the aerodynamic gadgets make cars ugly and difficult to distinguish each car every year.

That's exactly the point why I'm attracted to the current F1 cars.

Any slot car manufactures don't release a proper styling F1 cars, so I decided to make one at the end of 2008, Felipe Massa lost his only one chance to win the championship.

Of course I didn't care about the loser, but I wanted to make a Ferrari. Then I picked up a driver, Raikkonen who was known as "all or nothing".



Do you recognize the difference between 2 cars?

The back one is original scalextric and the other one is customized from it. They are non-magnet and less lead weight. It's very fun, but extremely difficult to drive like a razor-edge. It's just suitable for the top category of motorsport.
