GD Slot -
I cheated with Porsche Group C Team effort. As I posted in new cars 2021 string.
Car no.3 is latest release, which is following the same set up as the other 2 cars and is looking good. [77g]
Car No.2 was originally a white kit painted plain gold. This car is a front runner at Wood Green, London. [81g]
Car No.1 was also originally a white kit painted silver. This car was 98% of car no.2 at the track. [80g]
Since I had 2 good cars among the front runners I decided to make a proper team of it.
Car no.2 was bought as a complete car on eBay. I then changed my white kit chassis to the livery shell. Used all the left overs to put together a compete car, same set up and sold it.
Car No.1 is the silver painted chassis, the No1. livery body was bought of eBay as just shell/body but came with Rothmans (not Racing) livery, it came all the way from Australia to the UK. I put together another full car and sold that off with the silver shell.
As Slot It announced no.3 car i put my order in, approx a year later it arrived last month! I had to have it to make my own "complete set". I normally keep 2 cars for club racing. Development continues by "leap-frogging" stronger car races, other is back up and then worked on until it betters the race car. Then that car races while weaker car is worked on further and it goes on..
I really like this Porsche Group C and it enjoyed a great deal of success in this series. The Rothmans livery is the pick of the bunch being full factory backed team effort.
If i was selecting a model to race in Group C then the Mercedes would be ahead of the Porsche model. It doesn't have the rear over hang like the Porsche model, looks a fraction wider and lower. One of the Jaguar models would be close choice too on the same basis. The Porsche Group C is more of an emotional choice and even with the higher rear wing on car no.2 it's still winning races!
Our Group C allows slot it 21k or 23k motors only, re-geraing, 15 to 17 wheels (no air rims), lead ballast, lightweight interiors. Wood Green London allows a lot of changes in all it's classes, this is the closest we race to box stock.
Keep posting pictures on progress but also us know about set-up if you race at a club and what if any changes you can make.
