Travis, love this car. I too am a F1 and Indy car fan. What about putting a digital chip in Mario’s car? I have Carrera’s digital system. Could you do a tutorial on either the new scalextric F1 McLaren’s or F1 Williams chipped to Carrera setup? What chip to use for those F1 cars? Thanks enjoy the videos.
Thanks Travis. Yes, it is a classic. In terms of fit and finish then it is not up with the latest Policar Ferrari 126 C2. I am glad you gave it a run and it is certainly better than I would have imagined with the guide being so far back. Ideally, manufacturers today should be aspiring to follow the further forward shallow guide with, say the Mr Slotcar Shadow. This is certainly better than the contemporaneous JPS Lotus cars Scalextric released back in the 1970s. I would say 'good' if you really still want one (I would have back in 1980) but here today it just doesn't have that awe and wow amidst everything else that's out there. If it inspires Maurizio to do a Policar and show us how it's done then it will have been worth this prototype effort.
Thanks for the review. The driver is actually American, Mario Andretti, who was World Champion in 1978 in this car. His teammate, Ronnie Peterson, was tragically killed at Monza that year. Despite there still being four races in the season after Monza, Ronnie still finished second in the WC. It was an iconic car that introduced ground effects to the works of F1.
I actually used to do pencil drawings of that car as a kid - that is an Iconic Car - once seen it can not be unseen - they have done a really good job on it - The Back Tyres. Beautiful. Excellent
I,dont have this yet , on my bucket list , so this week , or middle next month for sure , so cant wait , buy this so , cant wait , lol ❤🎉
I believe the driver is American not British. It's Mario Andretti. Looks very nice!
No tyre decals.
Analogue great for me , so be ideal my setup , lol winner for me , must have 🎉❤
The JPS livery holds a special place in my childhood memories, I love Policar's recent 1974 Lotus JPS from the Monaco GP.

Love the wheels, they really stand out :)
Great video Travis, this review inspired me to get this car. And I’m very happy with the purchase.
What scale ?
