They look nice,
And a very easy way to get a F1 grid. Just hope they have enough room for a chip inside But I am sure they won't be for some people as they won't have the right shape etc... -------------------- Don't Forget That I Finish Last .......

Looks cool!
About time someone brought out a modern F1 that looks like it might actually work! No magnet needed I hope? -------------------- |

These will be great if they're not too expensive.

I think that this is great news for slot car racing and Formula One fans. How long has it taken for somebody to do this? Too long! We have some very nice models from Scalex and Carrera but there's no point in racing them at all. Now we have something with promising performance, good looks and the potential for the owner to paint whichever livery he likes! Hopefully we will see Ostorero avoid the hefty licensing costs too.

Wow they look great cannot wait to get my hands on them. Looks like a good base for a "fantasy" A1GP paint sceme! A1GP lives!

The good old SCX F1 from the 90's is still the F1 to have at Rockingham. The Ferarri 87 for example. No others match them in terms of a good base to get a fast car, it would be excellent if this range offers that. Looks like a nice flat chassis which is hopefully rigid with good axle bearing holders - if so it shows promise.

Very nice-but it needs to be much cheaper than anything else they have done before I'm interested.

Love the idea, but I'm with most people on the price front, has to be reasonable too!
 But a full decaled F1 grid would be nice......... How much for a 24 pack?
