..but they are quick - here are some teaser - pictures of the test-shots of the Rally-cars - DTM will be released after them - and the Ferrari 575s! (the pattern has been finished, the first testshots are expected within 2 weeks!)
Save your money guys - you'll need a lot for the next Carrera-releases!

The details are amazing! Compare the prints on the a-column and mirrors with any other brand and you know what I mean - they have reached top-level in detailling now! Let's hope, thet the chassis works well!
And FYI - Carrera will release a special set - art. No. 25555 - with transparent cars and flourescent bareers - and banked curve2!!!!...

@ Wankel - Carrera has an exclusive licence for the DTM-Audi and teh Ferraris - but all the others will also be released from SCX and Scalextric...

@ Gunther - be shure that you wont miss the 575 - they are competitive! Even teh new F1-cars are a close competitor for sclextric Sport F1! Lot's depend on the driver!
@ Mark - -the blue looks strange due to the camera - the real colour matches the original car. And don't ask about the alien in the background - -this is Slottus Longus - the designer from Carrera - and a real great guy!

..the main problem of the Enzo is weight! Comper it to the Porsche Carrera GT or the Aston Martin - bot other cars are much quicker than the Enzo! But try the tips from chris - remove the polarity switch - and all teh other stuff in front of the motor and connect some silicone cables from the guide direct to the motor - then you've a completely different car!

FYI - latest news! Due to the late release of all necessary information from Audi, the DTM-A4 will appear beginning 2005 on the shelves. Sorry for these bad news, but the car is extreme complex with all the flaps and they tried to do it 100% correct.

About braking with Carrera-cars - measure the weight of the cars - most Carreras are around 110g! - add correspondend weight to Fly, Scalex and Ninco-cars - and you've the same brake-behaviour.
