[SLOT CAR] Scalextric 2016 Range

Hi Guys,

Today I will be taking a quick look at the new range of Scalextric cars due to be released throughout 2016. I have to admit I have been more interested in my Diecast models and wasn't expecting much from Scalextric in 2016 BUT..... they are releasing some very nice models that have caught my eye.

This post will be looking at the solo cars that are due to be released and the ones I am most interested in.

[DIECAST] 2015 Formula 1 Cars that should be made.

Hi Guys,

Today we have a slightly different post. I like to speculate about certain F1 cars that should be produced. I love collecting Formula 1 diecast models and I also really appreciate that Minichamps and other Diecast/Resin brands make cars from certain races.

This post will be about some cars that performed rather well during the 2015 season and in my opinion deserve a model to be made. I also like that these extra models tend to be limited editions and 1:43 scale.

[DIECAST] Mercedes AMG F1 W05 (N.Rosberg)

Hi Guys,

Its another Diecast Review and this model is the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team F1 W05 driven by Nico Rosberg. 

As a majority of 2015 F1 cars are now avaliable from Minichamps it is good to take a look at the car that has become the new leader on the grid.

This is the Australian GP livery that Nico Rosberg took victory in back in 2014.

This is another car that is a Limited Model and is quite a rare one as it is limited to just 1008 pieces.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Tyrrell Ford 007 1976 (A.Pesenti Rossi)

[DIECAST] Spark Review: Sauber C33-Ferrari Australia (A.Sutil)

Hi Guys, 

Today we have something a little different to what I normally do. It is a Diecast review, but this model is made by Spark (SPARKMODELS). This is the Sauber C33-Ferrari driven by Adrian Sutil. When Spark make a model car they often tell you which race it is from. This car is from the 2014 season opener in Australia.  

I am quite excited I was able to get a Spark model so cheap for my blog, because soon I will be able to compare this one to the Minichamps Sauber C33. 

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Spyker F8-VII (A.Sutil)

Hi Guys,

Today we have a special review. Today's post is one of the cars on my 'Wishlist'. It is another addition to my personal collection. This is the Spyker F8-VII driven by one of my favourite F1 drivers, Adrian Sutil. So far in my collection Adrian Sutil features quite heavily. I have his VJM01, VJM03 and VJM06. I will be eventually adding the Sauber C33 to my collection meaning I will have models from each team he raced for in Formula 1. I have got the VJM02 and the VJM04 but I have them with the other drivers. The VJM02 because Giancarlo Fisichella scored his final Podium and Force India's first in that car.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Sauber C32-Ferrari N.Hulkenberg

Hi Guys,

Today I have another Minichamps model and another one that is in my personal collection. My collection was exclusively Force India, but with Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg being such brilliant drivers I thought I'd add their Saubers to my collection. I have already reviewed Sergio Perez's 1st Podium C31. This review is the Sauber C32 driven by my favourite driver Nico Hulkenberg.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Ford Focus RS WRC 'BETA' V.Rossi 2009

Hi guys.

We have another diecast review and it's another Minichamps model and is part of the Valentino Rossi Collection. This is a review of the Ford Focus RS WRC 'Beta' driven by Valentino Rossi in the Monza Rally Show 2009.

Valentino Rossi is a true racer. Driving cars in many different disciplines including, Formula 1, Rally and MotoGP. 

It seems fitting that he has his won collection made by Minichamps, which includes his winning bikes, Helmet designs and Rally racers in various scales.

[SLOT CAR] Scalextric Review: Ford Escort MK1

Hi guys.

We have another review and it's another slot car review. I will be adding a fair few more slot car reviews soon. I have the new Aston Martin Vantage ready and I am awaiting the BMW Z4, so there's plenty to come. Today we have a loan car from MCSLOTS and it's a classic, the Ford Escort MK1.

This model is from 1970 Calder Park and is driven by Alan Moffat.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM07 S.Perez Podium

Hi Guys

Today I thought I would review my final Force India model. Of course I will be getting the VJM08 when that comes out, and I am still hoping for a Russian GP Podium VJM08B. Hopefully that to wopuld be limited edition like this model. It's also looking like Force India won't be Force India next year with a possible name change to Aston Martin Racing which I am not happy about really.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Sauber C31 S.Perez 1st Podium

Hi Guys

Today I am reviewing a very special car. With the Mexican GP back on the calendar and with Sergio Perez already scoring a Podium in the 2015 season. I thought I would review a car that has been on my wish list. I have been fortunate to be able to get my hands on one as well. This review is the Sauber C31 and it is the exact model of the car Perez scored his first Podium in Malaysia in 2012.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Red Bull RB9 Bahrain Winner 2013 (S.Vettel)

Hi Guys,

Today I have a brand new Minichamps model. Which has been kindly donated to me by Mcslots. It's the Infiniti Red Bull RB9 driven by Sebastian Vettel. It is the car that he won the 2013 Bahrain GP. It's great to see that Minichamps produce cars from specific races because it gives fans options in which cars to get. Minichamps tend to make cars that have performed well at races if they don't intend to produce limited version.

Hi Guys,

We have another Diecast review. I'm having quite a bit of fun researching and reviewing these diecast cars at the moment so we will stick with them for now. This post is all about a very prominent team with a rich racing history. The Flying Lizards. A good way to start is to review their first Le Mans entry.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Sahara Force India VJM06 (A.Sutil)

Hi Guys,

We're back again with the 6th Force India review. This time it is the 2013 VJM06 driven by Adrian Sutil. So far we have reviewed two other models driven by him the VJM01 and the VJM03. 

Today's model is by Minichamps and is in 1/43 scale. 

[DIECAST] Formula 1 Cars I would like to add to my collection and why.

Hi Guys,

This little article is about certain F1 cars I would like to add to my collection and why.

Spyker Ferrari 2007 Adrian Sutil.


No prizes given if you guess why this car is on this list. It's driven by Adrian Sutil, one of my favourite F1 drivers but this is the car he drove in his debut season. He also scored his first world championship point in Fuji, Japan. This car is also the predecessor to Force India VJM01. 

This car is recreated in 1/43 scale by minichamps. Product code: 400070020.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Sahara Force India VJM05 (N.Hulkenberg)

Hi Guys,

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but we have another Force India Diecast review. So far we have reviewed the VJM01 VJM02 VJM03 and VJM04. But today I am reviewing one of my most important models I own. It is Nico Hulkenberg's VJM05. The reason it's so important to me is because it was my first diecast model. Bought for me by my wife. (She was my Girlfriend at the time). 

Same as all the other Force India's it's 1/43 scale diecast by Minichamps.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM04 (P.Di Resta)

Hi guys,

This is the fourth installment of my Force India reviews. I am doing them in chronological order. So far we have reviews the VJM01 VJM02 and VJM03. This review is Paul Di Resta's VJM04. This is another Minichamps 1/43 scale diecast model.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM03 (A.Sutil)

Hi guys.

Today we have another diecast review and again it's another Force India. (They're the only diecast I have access to at the moment and plus I love writing about Force India and it will bulk up the Blog quite quickly). Anyway...

This is the 2010 challenger, the VJM03. It features a very unique vibrant colour scheme, very similar to the VJM02 which has already been reviewed. This model is driven by my favourite ex-Force India driver Adrian Sutil and is recreated in 1:43 scale by Minichamps.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM02 (G.Fisichella)

Hi Guys.

I'm continuing my written review blog and keeping the theme I am going to be reviewing on of my personal favourite F1 cars of all time, and that is the 2009 Force India VJM02.

This car, like it's predecessor, had some unique features and is essentially the foundation car that has made the team what it is today. We will look at how the car and the team experienced many firsts in the 2009 season.

This particular model is driven by the Italian drive Giancarlo Fisichella. This model like the VJM01 previously reviewed is 1/43 scale and made by Minichamps. 

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Force India VJM01 (A.Sutil)

Hi guys.

Today I have started my written review blog and if you know anything about me you'll know why I have decided to choose this particular car as my first review.

It's a Force India. It's driven by Adrian Sutil and it's Force India's first F1 car. 

It is the 1/43 scale Minichamps Diecast VJM01.
