Hmmm. I'm no fan of Ford and dislike this one in particular but there's some good liveries out there and, well, Sideways: always good. So, yeah, creeps on to the wishlist, I think. 👍

 

Plenty of liveries over the four years project. Loved the heritage colours last year at Le Mans and of course they ran as Castrol and Motorcraft in the states. Shame there was only one independent, but it looked fantastic in the flesh, the #85 Wynns car was removed of its class win for a minor infringement of the fuel capacity from memory.

 

Still no sign if this is coming, anyone know anything ?

 

I haven't heard much but the whitekit should not be too far off.

 

I read the 488 would be the next one after the one coming ... Don't know if it is the Ford...

 

Where did you read it?

 

Hmmm. I'm not sure the Ferrari is happening. Period.

A good few months back, in emails with Chris (Sideways) identifying bits I was missing from my M6 kits, I drew the conclusion that I really shouldn't hold my breath for the Fezza. He wasn't explicit. He was vague. I read between the lines and decided he was managing my expectations.

And I don't like Ferraris.

But his cars run soooo well, I'd take a Racer Ferrari from Chris, for sure.

I just don't think I'll get the chance.😕

 

Why the brands wait to long to release a model?... Im not buying the Ford Gt nor the 488,as I have already tuned some Carrera Slots with 3dp chasis and they race fair enough(they are competitive enough vs Scaleauto and Nsr).

The Ford Gt should have been released two or three years ago. Of course I like Sideways/Racers models, but in this particular case I guess they waited to long.

They made a good move with the Lambo and the BMW M6, should move fast to other model, like the new C8R.

Cheers

 

I would quite like Sideways version of one of these ..............

Turn up the volume and enjoy the V12

Take care everyone

I am temped to go the carrera route myself for my local GT3 series. It is a lot of work to bring the body to an acceptable weight but maybe is the only way.

I have done the M6 (Carrera body, pro speed chassis and pod) and it goes really nice.

The Ford GT is not a GT3 car but I might one from sideways just for the heck of it!

 

I really wanted the Ferrari but those rumours were quite a while ago.

Ford GTE and the Mclaren were the last photos i saw

 

Yes, my rumour source is, I think, at least six months old and since then... tumbleweed.

GDSlot, I don't think the brands are slow for giggles. Sideways, I believe, are a small, small operation, working as fast as they can and I suspect attempting to get a Ferrari clone out without litigation is a tough exercise. Possibly ultimately futile. Sadly. I'd not exactly blame Carrera (licence holders) if they tipped off the legal department in Maranello once they heard of Racer's plans.

Well now thats a problem, lawyers, branding, etc. But thats precisely why slot brands should move to another model if the planned (for example the 488), is hard to get in the market.

Anyway lets hope the GT and 488 are up to the expectation just like the Lambo and the M6... The liveries is the key that might just boom the Slot car to the sky in sells.

Where did you read it?

On a french forum, by the owner of Sideways....

 

Here is to hoping that the 488 didnt die a litigious death. Ive really been looking forward to it.

 

Like the Lambo, no mention of the make of the car...

 

Oh, to be able to read French!

Good intel, Luc.

And I don't even like the word, 'intel'.

 

Is there something that you like Wankel? ;-)

Back on topic, Black Arrows still produces the 458. Scaleauto does not use for some of them the original names of their GT3s.

So there is a way around the licensing...I hope.

Luc, could you post here or PM me the link to the forum where you read this, please?

I do not read french but Google is my friend.

Then "marques" then New Sideways

 

I know a thing Wankel LOVES... Super GT ! Me too 😊
