History
The famous 24 Hours of Daytona race, currently known as the Rolex 24 At Daytona for sponsorship reasons, is a 24-hour sports car endurance race held annually at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida since 1966. It is run on a 3.56-mile (5.73 km) combined road course, utilizing portions of the NASCAR tri-oval and an infield road course. Since its inception, it has been held the last weekend of January or first weekend of February, part of Speedweeks, and it is the first major automobile race of the year in the United States.

In 2011, Stevenson Camaro GT.R didn’t win the Rolex 24 hour race at Daytona but they still did donuts. Despite setbacks, Stevenson Camaro keeps going to finish just outside the top 10. In the end, they finished in 12th place, but when Robin Liddell started 7th on the grid at the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, the opening round of the 2011 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No.16 season, the man knew he wasn’t where he really wanted to be. When the green flag waved to start the race, Liddell, in the Stevenson Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro GT.R No. 57, decided the best time to improve his position was now, rather than later. At the end of lap one, he had the Camaro up to fourth place, and quickly found himself drafting three Porsche race cars on the steep Daytona International Speedway banking. By the second lap he was in third place and by the end of lap three he had moved to the place he really wanted to be all along, in first.

Liddell would hold onto the lead in the GT class for a glorious 23 laps until he experienced electrical fuel pressure issues which forced him off track and into the garage.

The donuts? The team called the driver in to the pits for tyres, fuel and donuts! A comical video on the Internet can be found of the team jokingly stuffing a donut in through the driver’s race helmet – the team still finding time for fun despite their disappointing finish to the race.

I've just posted in this thread and it would appear to have disappeared ....... most bizare, that's twice in the last week, oh well.


Nice looking car ................ are there any more planned releases from this mould that you know about??

[Dopamine]

It's a nice looking model, spoilt by the daft sky high ride height. Surely Scalextric could have retained a workable ground clearance whilst still positioning the wheels at the right height within the body.

'suitable for c187 banked curves' or what? I'll be getting one for sure, then lowering it like crazy as I did my fr500c mustang. Other than the ride height both she looks the business and will look great on my track

[oldozbloke]

looks good may have to have one .could have done a better job on the wheel inserts though.

[driver#8]

The ride height is an issue. However, I think I can see something else.

Oh that's it... Even if I were a flag waving American race fan who got up every morning to the national anthem and had a bowtie tattooed on my Adam's apple, there are approximately 17 million slot cars I'd be more excited about than this one.

It's like releasing a curiously-not-quite-right model of drizzle.

[stoner]

is it a sidewinder? if its an inline, all you can do is a body drop and possibly a chassis drop in the front. it will need major work on the rear[slot it pod]to drop the rear chassis if it is inline. haveing said all that, it doesn,t interest me at all. i preffer the older models of these cars, more character, john

Scaley are going from toy like to toy like in leaps and bounds

[joe lister]

I kind of like it.
It does appeal to me more than Ninco's solid body black window Ninco1 version.
A little surgery on the ride height and she'll be right.

[lee thorndike]

Another great model from scalextric who produce a wide range of models to cater for everyone.
If it goes as well as the mustang it will be a great racer straight out of the box.
If Im right in thinking all the production work for the real car was done by holdens.
The floor pan is basicaly a holden commodore.

Now why doesn't this fella get an interior, I would have got it if it did...

What he said...

[CTK]

Are the windows just black painted bodywork or are the separatly as on high detail cars and just done black??? If they are separat there is the (expensive) possibility to buy the high detail car to change the interior and windows of the SUNOCO one to high detail and sell the other one cheaper on ebay...

Does anyone know???

[stoner]

dont know about that. but it sure makes a lightweight body for racing. but what i object to is the high price you have to pay for these, with half the parts missing. have you noticed scaley, ninco, carrera, ect seem to have an aversion to having cars with low ride heights. john
