I noticed on the list of cars in U2 class a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. The only one I know with genuine Trans Am history is this one I shot at Mid Ohio a number of years ago.



It's the Italian version of a series 1 car. 124s changed a short time later. Is anyone aware of a slot car version of it?

I'm considering building up an in spec version of this car for O2
