Scaleauto 1/24 BMW prototype photos
Photos I took last weekend of the Scaleauto BMW GT2 while I was visiting Mid America Raceway during the Scaleracing weekend of racing.
A bit of editorializing here too, hopefully Scaleauto will not mind... I found the body shape on this car to be VERY nice. All the detail that you'd hope to see on a model of the BMW is there as well as the promise of the car to be a VERY nicely performing car due to the excellent chassis that comes with this car. I'd had the chance to race the Porsche RSR that Scaleauto during a 6-hour team endurance race at Mid America and I simply love that car. The cars were run nearly box-stock with no chassis mods allowed (none appear to be needed BTW) and everyone I'd say was completely taken with the performance of the cars.
The BMW will come with the same chassis, so expect very, very strong performance from this BMW.
I fully expect this BMW to be an extremely good value for your racing dollar (or Euro).

News and Photos from the 2010 Trier Sprint Worlds and OEPS Finale
Above is a spectacular time-lapse night racing segment shot provided by Mr. Mark Campbell.
I thought our readers might like some close-up photos of the Scaleauto cars also- the one above is sporting the popular Gulf livery
Here we see a 911 revival of "Der Truffeljäger von Zuffenhausen" (or more popularly known as "pink pig") livery first seen on the LeMans 917/20 driven by Willy Kauhsen and Reinhold Jöest.
The Scaleauto Porsches were prepared to the Scaleracing rules published here:
Finally, a closeup of a fine looking model of the privateer Peugeot 908 from LeMans 2010. The 1:1 team was in contention for at least a podium finish before succumbing to the same sort of failure that eliminated the works Peugeot entries.
A heartfelt thank you to Nick de Wachter for the below link to the Sprint Worlds and OPES full results page:
Trier 2010 Race Reports
All indications are that the 2010 Trier Sprint Worlds and OEPS was a huge success. The event even drew ISRA racers Brian Saunders, Michael Landrud, Christer Helgesson, and Lars Harryson who are not generaly known as hardbody racers.
Hopefully we will see many of the same participants for the 3rd Plafit PanAm Championship at Mid-America Raceway and Hobbies to be held October 9th and 10th 2010.
For those that are interested, there are some event pics on the Renn-Center-Trier web page. You'll find them here: 2010 Trier Worlds Sprint Races Information
Check out the stunning paint jobs on the 1/24 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR's run in the Scaleauto Sprint races.
Quite a field of entries too; I would think that this would validate the popularity of this new racing class and assure its place on the International slot racing calendar for years to come.

To be fair- the field of 26 prototypes were very good looking in their own right.
Here's a closeup of one of the OEPS entries during qualifying.

A passing
Alan Smith of Slot Car Illustrated has reported that John Robinson from MRRC has passed away. This is a really sad day. I had the pleasure of meeting John in 2009 at Toyfair in Germany and he was a wonderful person. He loved slots and it was great to have met him and talked with him via email for years.
You will be missed John.
