At Eastcote we race a class called Sports & GT, but really it should be called Ninco Mercedes CLK Racing. That's the only car everyone uses!
Let me clarify the rules a bit: Cars and all parts must be made by Ninco, Fly, Scalextric or SCX. Eligable motors are: Everything made by the above four except NC6, NC4 and Fly Racing (little) motor. No alloy parts to be used, and no Fly Racing cars are allowed. No cutting of chassis allowed. No weight. No mags. So rules are pretty basic, not too much modifications.
The track is a 130 foot, 8 lane Ninco, with medium to good grip.
As I said, the current favourite is the Ninco CLK with an NC5 and pretty much standard otherwise, but I want to be a bit different. I've tried all Ninco GT cars and the CLK is the best out of them. I've also tried an SCX Audi R8, and a few old Scalextric cars and nothing measures up. I've also thought about Fly cars, but they are generally rubbish without the mags.
So I ask you, what do you think would be a good car to try?
I'm thinking about a Fly Lola (standard one) without the magnet, and I've set up a Joest Porsche that I remember used to be good (because of low overhangs and all...) so I'll try that too.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any ideas you've got.

PS. I have an ickle bit of sway over the rules as I'm a scrutineer, so for example including a fifth constructor, or other minor changes might be able to be suggested.
