Slot.it Lancia LC2 'totip'

The LC2 was created by Lancia to race in the Sport-Prototype category, according to the Group C regulations. It was engaged for the first time in 1983.

Designed by Dallara, it was powered by a Ferrari engine, with head derived from 288 GTO; electronics was highly advanced for that time. The engine was a 3 liters V8 90°, liquid-cooled, with two turbochargers, that could work at a maximum pressure of 3 bars; the four valves per cylinder were driven by double over head camshaft. The maximum power was 840 hp at 7000 rpm. Hewland gearbox, 5 gears. The wheels diameter was 15 inches at the front and 17 at the rear.Chassis was made of aluminum and magnesium; body material was carbon fibre composite. The overall weight was 850 kg.Often, Lancias were as competitive as Porsches in pure speed, but then suffered troubles at longer distances.

During 1984, the Martini Racing factory team was sometimes joined by Jolly Club, a private team which had a strong relationship with Lancia in the 'rally' competitions, as well as Endurance.

The Milanese team entered a Lancia LC2 with number 29 in the 1984 Imola 1000 kilometres, which was driven by Mauro Baldi and Pierluigi Martini.

Slot.it ? Policar ?

Slot.it of Policar? Nou van beide wat. De naam is namelijk Policar maar het geheel is natuurlijk gemaakt door Slot.it. Vanwaar deze opmerkelijke draai ? Nou eigenlijk is dat niet zo moeilijk. Een aantal jaar geleden wist Carrera het patent te leggen op de naam Ferrari voor slotcars.

Dat resulteerde in het spontaan terugnemen van bepaalde Fabrikanten van alle Ferrari auto's zoals Ninco. Voor velen was dit natuurlijk een enorme strop zo ook voor Slot.it. Nu hebben deze slimme heren hun handen op de merknaam Policar weten te leggen en onder die naam mag dan wel de Ferrari gemaakt worden aangezien dit onder andere landsregels schijnt te vallen. Kortom er komen weer mooie Ferrari 's uit die ook nog eens goed rijden. (Daarmee zeg ik niet dat de Ferrari 's van Carrera niet mooi zijn).

Onderstaande model zal als eerste worden uitgebracht door Policar.

Gevolgd door een Ferrari F40.

Op de site van Policar staat nog helemaal niets maar daar zal wel snel verandering in komen.

CA13d - Jaguar XJR12 n.36 Le Mans 1991

Leverbaar vanaf komende week!

The Jaguar XJR12 is a sport-prototype racing car, born in 1990 to replace the XJR9.
This model featured a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. The engine was a V12 engine with two valves per cylinder. In 1990, displacement was 6 liters for the IMSA version and 7 liters in the Group C configuration; these values were increased in 1991, becoming 6.5 liters for the American version and 7.4 for the European one, whose weight was respectively 930 and 1000 kg.
The XJR12 was employed by Tom Walkinshaw Racing in particular for the long distance races, such as Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans, as this car was very reliable and regular in race trim.
The car was a superb racer: in 1990, it finished 1st and 2nd in the Daytona and Le Mans 24 Hours races, and in 3rd place at Sebring. Later on, it finished in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place at Le Mans in 1991, and in 2nd at Daytona in 1992.
The car number 36, colour 'british racing green' and sponsored by Suntec, was a surprise in the entry list of the 1991 Le Mans 24 Hours. Its most experienced driver was David Leslie who drove with two pilots coming from Japanese F3000 championship, Mauro Martini and Jeff Krosnoff.
