[GAME] Formula D Sochi Race

Hi Guys,

Today I will be writing about the Formula D board game, with an overview of a 10 player race we held recently. It was great fun, with a mixture of experienced players and first time players.

We raced on the Sochi track which is avaliable in the 5th track pack. We did a 10 player 1 lap thrash.

[GAME] Formula D Board Game Review

Hi Guys

Today we are looking at something different. 

Ever wanted to be in the driving seat of a Formula 1 car on some of the greatest tracks around the world? Don't want to spend lots of money on expensive consoles, or a lot of time setting up a Slot car track in your living room?

Well from the board game makes Asmodee you can be in the drivers seat racing around great circuits such as Monte Carlo, Sebring and Hockenhiem, the name of the game is Formula D.

[DIECAST] Corgi Review: Lotus Evora S Special Edition

Hi Guys,


Today we are looking at a Corgi Diecast model. It is also slightly different to what we look at normally because the this model is road car as apposed to the Racing and Formula 1 models I review on this blog. 

Corgi Toys are owned by Hornby who also own Scalextric as well as Airfix. This is worth bearing in mind, because when you see Scalextric produce a new car, like when they started producing Lotus models, such as the Evora and Exige, you may see the other brands owned by Hornby to start producing them also. 

With Lotus both Corgi and Scalextric made Lotus models. Other cars this has happened too are the Jaguar XKR (Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi) and Aston Martin. (Airfix, Scalextric and Corgi). 

[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.

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Tyrrell Ford 007 1975 (I.Scheckter)

Hi Guys,

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)

Hi guys,

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Red Bull Racing RB10 (S.Vettel)

Hi Guys,

Today we have another Formula 1 1:43 diecast Review. We have something quite modern. We have a car from 2014.

This is a review of the Red Bull Racing RB10 driven by 4 time world champion Sebastian Vettel. 

This isn't the first Red Bull Racing model I have reviewed. I have previously reviewed the RB9 driven by Sebastian Vettel 

[DIECAST] Minichamps Review: Benetton BMW B186 Detroit (T.Fabi)

Hi Guys,

We have something new a different that I wouldn't normally do. We have a classic Formula 1 car from the 1980's. This model is the Benetton BMW B186. Driven by Teo Fabi at the USA GP in Detroit. 

This car has some eye catching features and we will be going over them in the review.

[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.
