10 UK SLOT FESTIVAL
Two days of total slot car racing set
in a motor museum displaying lots of
famous cars. If you think you’ve been
to heaven you really have not unless
you visited the UK Slot Festival 2016.
There was so much to see and do
we are not sure we even managed to
cover it all – but we have brought you
the biggest report on the world’s best
slot car event.
34 BIG BIRD AT ROCKINGHAM
Vintage slot cars take us back to
the 1960s at the Rockingham club’s
annual event. What happened to
the car Richard prepared in the last
issue? He defi nitely has a screw
loose…
40 GENESIS NATIONALS AT GAYDON
It was born at Slot Festival in 2015
and celebrated its 1st birthday there
by running a National Championship
fi nal round. Designed as an entrylevel
class, Genesis cars were the
fastest thing in action.
60 INSIGHT - 1:43 SCALE
How hard can it be to scratch build a
slot car when the available parts are too
big or too small? A group of dedicated
enthusiasts take 1:43 scale an extra
mile beyond Carrera GO!!! and SCX
Compact.
REVIEWS
50 ALFA ROMEO 155
The fi rst Touring Car from Slot.it gets
pulled apart to see what’s inside, then
put back together for a full track test.
How did it fare after an evening’s
thrashing?
62 THUNDERSLOT LOLA T70 GT
UPDATE
We tested the prototype in the last issue
and found it to be excellent. Not good
enough for Thunderslot, who want their
new car to be perfect. What did they do?
More development and testing to come
up with improved parts before the fi rst
cars reach the shops. We take a look at
how this company checks every possible
upgrade.
WORKSHOPS
32 VACFORM BODY JIG
Mounting a clear vacuum formed bodyshell
onto a chassis without getting it twisted, in
the wrong place, or simply ruining it takes
skill and practice. Of course if you had one
of James Cleave’s new body jigs you would
get it right every time.
