Scalextric C3658A Legends – Cooper Climax – Jack Brabham-Limited Edition
Limited Edition
Sir John Arthur “Jack” Brabham, AO, OBE (2 April 1926 – 19 May 2014) was an Australian racing driver who was Formula One champion in 1959, 1960, and 1966. He was a founder of the Brabham racing team and race car constructor that bore his name. Acclaimed as a brilliant engineer as well as a driver, technological innovations brought about by Brabham’s team helped to shape Formula One racing. “The word ‘legend’ is often used to describe successful sportsmen, in the case of Sir Jack Brabham it’s entirely justified” (Ron Dennis). The Scalextric model represents Jack Brabham in the Cooper T53 at the British Grand Prix in 1960 which he won.

The “12 Hours of Endurance For The Alitalia Airlines Trophy”, aka the 12 hours of Sebring race, of 1967 saw the “Autosport International” entered GT40 (Chassis 1038) driven by Grossman and McNamara finish 8th overall and 2nd in class against the latest MKIV GT40 car of McLaren and Andretti (1st) and the MKIIb of Foyt and Ruby (2nd).

Bob Grossman had a wealth of knowledge driving Ferrari sports cars of all types but changed over to the GT40 in 1966 and 1967 when he drove several different cars with reasonable success.

Carrera 27498 Porsche 917K Martini International “No.2”, Kyalami 6h 1970
In the movie LeMans, starring the Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, the Porsche 917 K played a role almost as legendary as that of the actor himself. However, the real life no.2 driven by Jo Siffert and Kurt Aharens was a thoroughbred winner. Its reputation as one of the most successful racing cars of the 1970s was partly earned in the 9-hour race in Kyalami on the African continent, in which the short-tail version of the car proved unbeatable. Overall, the 917 racked up more victories than any other car in the 5-liter class.

Carrera 30182 Power Speeders set Digital 132
11.48 x 5.87-feet
29.5-foot lap length
The AF Corse Team is sure to be up front in the Carrera championship. They’ll be facing a stiff challenge from the updated version of the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R that has already won the famous long distance race seven times in a row. This model was introduced in 2014 in Detroit and is more aerodynamic and has a stiffer chassis. All the experts see it at the front of the pack. However, the Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 is famous for its mastery in the bends. Both produce a wonderfully musical 8-cylinder sound. Can the Corvette retain its titles or will it be beaten to pole position and championship glory by the eager Ferrari team around this 25.9-foot racetrack? It’s easy to imagine the indefatigable burning desire of the drivers as they head off to the Südkurve after a 300 km/h sprint down the straight.

Scalextric C3589A Winged Legends-Brabham BT26 & McLaren M7C-Limited Edition—PRE-ORDER NOW!
Limited Edition Size: 3,000
The Winged Legends of the 1969 Grand Prix Championship.
Sir Jack Brabham’s race team built the Brabham BT26A/2 and was one of the first to experiment with aircraft-inspired wings to create increased downforce. The Scalextric version models the No.8 car raced by Jack Brabham in the International Trophy race at Silverstone, March 30th, 1969. Non-Championship races were often used to test developments on Grand Prix cars and in these early months of 1969 the negatives were yet to outweigh the positive aspects of high mounted aero-wings as the Lotus 49B cars would discover at the Spanish Grand Prix. Bruce McLaren, fellow Antipodean and friend of Brabham, was also running a high wing on his McLaren M7C No.6 car at the Spanish Grand Prix of 1969. During the race both Lotus 49B cars driven by Graham Hill and Jochen Rindt crashed heavily after the high wings failed. The potential for these wings to fail with a high risk of injury to drivers and spectators was of grave concern and after just a few brief months of an exciting innovative development, such wings were banned by the FIA authorities. Bruce McLaren finished in 2nd place behind Stewart and ahead of Beltoise, Hulme and Surtees – the only drivers to finish the race!

Both cars retired from the event. Rutherford also contested the 1986 British National Rally Championship in the car and started as favourite but eventually finished 3rd in the championship due to the mechanical unreliability of the car.
