C3614 Scalextric Mercury Cougar XR7 Trans-Am- Moffat

In the 1967 Trans Am season, Allan Mann’s win at the non-championship Watkins Glen Manufacturers Challenge in a privateer Mustang convinced Mercury, owned by Ford, competitions boss Fran Hernandez that he was capable against such drivers as Mark Donohue, Jerry Titus and Parnelli Jones. Allan successfully tested for Bud Moore Engineering who was contracted to run the Mercury race team. Team cars were painted red and silver, but in deference to Allan’s Aussie background, his Cougar was green and gold. Moffat competed in the Modesto, California, Mission Bell 250 at Riverside, the Las Vegas 350 and the Kent 300 in Washington. The Cougars lost the title to Mustang. The Cougar racing effort was terminated and Bud Moore went back to fielding NASCARs. Not surprisingly, Ford didn’t like the idea of spending a lot of money trying to beat itself! Even so, the Mercury Cougar is a highly respected and loved American muscle car.

Scalextric C3619 McLaren F1 2014 livery 1, Jensen Button

2014 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. Melbourne creates a spectacular backdrop for the opening round of the 2014 FIA Formula One World Championship. While the teams are always happy when the Australian Grand Prix comes around, for drivers Albert Park can cause a few headaches. All together it creates a low-grip, high-drama grand prix that never fails to deliver the excitement. F1 hasn’t featured turbochargers since the Australian Grand Prix of 1988 – won by Alain Prost driving the all-conquering McLaren MP4-4. Albert Park has been a happy hunting ground for McLaren with six of the team’s 11 Australian Grand Prix victories coming in Melbourne, with wins for Mika Häkkinen, Lewis Hamilton and two apiece for David Coulthard and Jenson Button.
