OK - I race a Wellingborough which is an MDF routed track with sandtex textrued paint finish. Just intro a new class which is open top LMP with in-line Mabuchi spec motor and standard 9/27 gearing. The only car that is out is the carrera audi (not sure why but the carrera panoz dominates the front engined LMP race so I presume they want a more diverse field).

Anyway these are the choices unless anyone can think of others that would be potentialy competative. Opinions on what would offer best performance for a routed track.

Scalextric - Lister, Lola, Caddy
Ninco - BMW
SCX - Audi, Dome, 333P
Spirit - Lola, Reynard
Fly - Lola (not the moterolla version as it has a 'racing' motor in it)

Is this magnet?

If it is go with either Lola. If not I'd use the Ninco BMW.

surprised the fly panoz LMP aint in the list, but then I know nothing of routed tracks and non-mag racing

I was going to suggest that but I think this is for mid engined style cars? Front engined style seem to be mentioned seperately.

Yes its MDF with copper tape so magents don't work. Rear/mid engined in-line will be the choice as front engine are not as competitive - not enough natural weight in rear axle to provide grip.

cheers

Don't forget SCX also do a Caddy.

Of the bunch, for Non-mag I would go with the Dome, (it will need a little weight).

I would say Dome (but it hasn't got a mabuchi? would you fit one? if so, you need a pinion extension) or the Fly Lola. They rule...
