Spirit BMW 635i prototype photos
A few more photos of the prototype of the Spirit 635i BMW I shot recently. The car will have an inline long can motor and this prototype was made without a motor pod, I understand the production car won't have a pod either.

The LeMans Miniatures Pescarolo will arrive in the US within the next day or so according to REH Distributors.
What is your preferred Motorsports era?
The members on Slot Car Illustrated.com are working on a poll to see what the majority of slotters feel is the greatest area of interest for slot cars. You should go to SCI at this link and let your voice be heard. There are thousands of members on SCI and it would be great if thousands voted to really get a true sampling of slotters out there. Please vote!

BRM Toyota, Porsche, Mazda photos
Photos from iHobby of the BRM Mazda and Porsche prototypes and production Toyotas. The Toyota's will be available this year.
First the new chassis for the Toyota. You can see brass inserts in the pan of the chassis. These are new laser cut brass weights that fit perfectly into the chassis between the reinforcing ribs. These will be sold by BRM to racers that would like to be able to weight the chassis as they see fit. You will be able to place the weights around the chassis in places you feel need weight, an innovative idea.
Here you can see the wing of the Toyota. Why show the wing? Well the question was raised at my club asking how durable the wing on the Toyota will be since it's behind the back of the body and mounted very low on the chassis. Guys have been concerned that one good "WHACK" and the wing will be broken. Francesco of BRM (seen below) must have heard this question before. When I asked this, he picked up the Toyota by the wing... AND STARTED TO SHAKE THE WHOLE CAR HOLDING ONLY THE WING! It seems it will be quite durable!

New Sloter Zytek prototype pix
Sloter has a new Zytek on the way. I shot these pix recently at iHobby of the new body they're going to produce. Please note this is a white body and I had to darken it substantially for the contours to show here.
