car traffic box (needs better name)
I have digitial and I find myself wanting to run some hot laps around some traffic, so i made a simple control box with speed control and with a switch so the car can change lanes. Just plug into the power base and set the speed of the cars. Then i can practice passing.
The one i made is set up for 4 cars, but really 2 is enough.

Porsche 962C KH de Slot.it
Wenas!!! Cuando Demo nos presentó en primicia (aquí) este coche tenía claro que tendría que pasar por caja, os aconsejo su lectura nuevamente ya que es un artículo muy bien elaborado y con unas fotos que muestran claramente la belleza de éste coche. Como siempre, gracias compañero por compartirlo con todos nosotros.
Me desplacé hasta Mik-Man, una tienda de slot situada en Rubí, y después de charlar un buen rato con Manel, adquirí mi unidad. Un precioso Porsche 962C KH con decoración Tic Tac, más concretamente el que corrió en Nürburgring en 1989 con la escudería Dauer Racing.
Pero yo lo tengo claro, este coche irá a la pista. He de reconocer que en un principio me cuesta sacarlos de la vitrina, pero es como verdaderamente disfruto de éstos coches. Así que voy a prepararlo para competir con él.
El reglamento es el utilizado en la actualidad para los Grupo C de Slot.it, así que la preparación no se diferencia mucho de otras que ya he colgado en el blog, pero en ésta ocasión voy a probar una suspensión magnética de Slot.it, hay que probar todas las posibilidades que nos ofrece la casa italiana para ver cual es la que mejor se adapta a nuestra forma de pilotar ,y así, poder hablar en primera persona sobre si una cosa va mejor o peor, ya que de 'oidas' todo el mundo tiene una opinión al respecto, o conoce a uno que es muy bueno que le ha dicho que las utilice o que no....... Yo, me decanto por probarlo y sacar mis propias conclusiones, que además, es lo que más me gusta y con lo que disfruto.
La tampografía de ésta máquina es insuperable, no es normal encontrar coches de plástico, con un precio 'razonable' y con una calidad final casi perfecta. Por el mismo precio he visto coches con pelos, dedos, piel de naranaja, etc.....
A parte de las suspensiones, hablaré de los nuevos chasis que ha sacado Slot.it para los 962. Como muy bien sabréis, los porsches 956 y 962 se asemejan mucho, pero se diferencian los unos de los otros por la zaga. Las traseras son diferentes y los chasis, también. Así que muy inteligentemente han inventado un sistema por el cual se pueda utilizar el mismo chasis en todos los coches, la parte trasera del chasis la han recortado y han realizado unos pequeños orificios donde enganchar una pieza de plástico que corresponde con la zaga de los diferentes modelos de 962. Resumiendo, antes tenías que saber que chasis le correspondía a tu coche y que tu tienda habitual lo tuviese, ahora, con un único chasis tienes a tu disposición todas las posibilidades habidas y por haber, mucho más sencillo para el que quiere competir y como no, para el vendedor y el fabricante.
La colocación de la suspensión es realmente sencilla. Se introduce el tornillo por debajo del chasis, ponemos el primer imán, después colocamos el segundo imán (recordad que hay que colocar los polos opuestos para que se repelen los imanes y funcionen correctamente) y para finalizar, se coloca el tornillo que sujeta el imán arriba del todo, el cual, en su interior hay un poco de goma para evitar que se afloje con el uso. Es rápido y sencillo.
-Llantas originales, de aluminio detrás y plástico delante (me gusta la estética original de los coches a pesar de que se gana algo de peso en la zaga).-Ejes huecos delante y detrás
-Cuna en angle.
-Motor Boxer de Slot.it con piñón de 12 dientes.
-Corona slot.it de 27 dientes.
-Cables verdes JPslot muy flexibles y de alta conductividad.
-Tornillería de la cuna MB con la parte alta de la cabeza lisa para facilitar la basculación.
-Suspensión magnética Slot.it
-Neumático delantero Scaleauto con grip cero.
-Neumático trasero Spirit, el ancho.
Con los dos tipos de suspensiones en la mano, la de muelles y la de imanes, se aprecia perfectamente como la de suspensiones es más suave y se llega al tope de la misma con facilidad, mientras que la magnética es más dura, cuesta apretar y subir la suspensión. Ahora viene lo mejor de todo, rodar y rodar para ver cual es la que mejor se adapta a mi pilotaje. Sobre las sensaciones ya hablaré en la próxima carrera, ya que las pruebas entrenando no siempre son fiables al 100% y luego, en la carrera la cosa cambia.
Adeu y gasssss

1:43 scale scenery and buildings
If my math is correct 1:43 scale should be O scale or close to 1/4 scale.
I remember in my train days.... finding scenery and buildings for HO scale was fairly easy.
No so easy for slot cars! There is a lot of 1:32 scale ....pit stops, stands, and buildings but I can't seem to find any 1:43/O scale items to use in layouts. I would like to set up a track course that would be landscaped. The trees and stuff would be no prob as the train stuff would work fine. Mainly I would like to set up some pit garages, a parking lot for visitors, and a few food stands to put around the track area, and maybe a grandstand, and some gate. Maybe a few houses in the far distance... lol. Anyway is there a place that sells these things in 1:43/O scale? Thanks,
Charlie R

Need ID for Mustang FB is it Atlas?
Hi ALL!
I just got a hold of this nice Mustang FastBack. I'can't tell if it's a ATLAS ? It has two green pins to hold the body on. It has a can motor, I think it's can, with a worm gear. IS it Atlas?
Many thanks, Ted

Blueing...
So I went to the local outdoor store and purchased a bottle of "gun blueing." If your not familiar with this stuff, it is used to "stain" steel, make it dark and remove the gloss. ?? See where I'm going? I sacrificed one ninco straight track and applied some via a clean cloth to one side of the pick-up rails. Took about 15.256 seconds, little joking. Very quick and easy. My concern or question is, as I don't have a set up right now and only using a 9 volt battery to check power, I checked the conductivity===Seemed OK but I am wondering if anyone has tried this out and with what results. I'd like to think it works and maybe I'll have to find out myself and report back, but hoping someone has some input.
what I can say, once the rails are dark, and almost matching the track color, looks pretty neat and removes that silver visual from the racing equation.

Question about Scalextric: Can you connect it to a computer?
I've seen a fair amount of videos and pictures of scalextric sets but all of the lap counters, etc. look like "hacks." That does not mean bad. I mean they used a computer to hack into firmware, somewhere in a scalextric device, the powerbase? maybe.
How is this done? How do you connect scalextric to a computer? Is there a video or manual for this?Just looking for more information as I am a programmer (at times anyway).

Accord sur 10 ans pour le GP de Monaco
Bernie Ecclestone aura donc juste mis la pression... La semaine dernière, le grand argentier de la F1 avait causé la polémique en annonçant que le célèbre rendez-vous monégasque n'était pas "indispensable" à la F1. Le site officiel de la Formule 1 annonce ce mercredi un accord entre la FOA (Formula One Administration) et les organisateurs du Grand-Prix de Monaco pour une durée de 10 ans. Les enjeux financiers de l'accord n'ont pas été dévoilés. Bernie aurait-t-il encore réussi à bien mener sa négociation ?

New guy needs info.
Hello all,
New to slot cars. I have a Ninco track that I purchased several years ago and I fooled with it for awhile then put it in storage as new interest came along. I have recently pulled the track out for my 12 year old nephew and am into it again. I did not know about wood tracks until a few days ago. My question is “What is it about wood tracks you like compared to plastic?” I see that you can design any layout you wish and the DIY factor is a plus for me. It seems to me that I am missing a key element about wood tracks. Please educate me.

Help... Tips for Painting White Lines
Hello Everyone –
I routed the recess for my 1/4 inch braid yesterday. This weekend I plan to paint my track sections a nice dark grey. First, I'll paint the lane colors... mask them out and roll on the grey. I want to do nice crisp white lines on both sides about 1 inch from the edge of the roadway.
I had thought about using the strip of of Sintra from Luf's kit, placed in the outer-most slots to guide the router, and routing 1/8 inch "lines" around the track – setting router bit high enough that it would just slightly graze the MDF. Then, I would paint them white. My concern is, even with a slight grazing, what if a car slides tail out, and the tires gets caught on the "line." Would it knock the car out of the slot? In addition, I really don't want to do ANY routing, if I can avoid it... I'm tired of routing, and I'm scare I'll somehow mess up, and ruin a track section. Believe me, this is why it's taken so long for my to finish this track!
The lines on the straights seem simple enough, but the corners could be a problem. If anyone has a good technique, and/or could possible provide photos on how to mask and paint these lines – I'd appreciate.
Regards!
Mike

Abarth 500 by Torquemadaslot
Hi to everybody,
we introduce our Abarth 500!
Our objective was to have an extremely aggressive model...
The base of this model is a NSR, the width of the body and the elevated quality of the chassis they will allow us to reach our objective.
the original wheels have been replaced with the Slotings Plus America in the measures 15,9 anterior and 16,9 back
the original tires have shown an excellent grip on this model, therefore you are been left unchanged.
The body is original, it is very beautiful and we have avoided variations.
Instead the cabin has been replaced with one in lexan of MSC devoted to the models Rally, in this way we have reduced the weight of the body of 4 grams.
The motor Shark 20K 164 gr/cms to 12 volts, gives declared by NSR, it has been replaced with a motor assembled by Torquemadaslot with ball-bearings,
the new performances they are 25 Ks and 250 gr/cms to 12 Volts.
The back axle has been replaced with one perforated not magnetic, the anterior axle is to independent wheels of Slot.it
The transmission sidewinder with pinion from 11 and crown from 32 with 17,5 mms of diameter, bearings Sloting Plus.
The original pick-up has been replaced with a Scaleauto the anterior tires with the MB slot hard 17x8
Test in footstep: track Polistil and model without magnet:
Test of stability: Abarth 500 by Torquemadaslot: 11,504 seconds
Reference: NSR Abarth 500 13,007 seconds
Driven test Abarth 500 by Torquemadaslot: 8,011 seconds
Reference: NSR Abarth 500 8,360 seconds
The our 500 are changed a lot, it is more binding to be driven, but the feeling of it eats track, that gives to his pilot it is priceless,
in this elaboration Torquemadaslot has applied big part of our experience, it is not never an easy job to improve a model Nsr...
We wish to be is you useful, a regard and good fun.

Mini voit grand en WRC
Conséquence de la nouvelle réglementation technique S2000 qui entrera en vigueur en 2011, Mini, qui dans les années 60 s'était illustrée dans le cadre du Championnat du monde des rallyes en décrochant trois victoires au Monte-Carlo, s'apprête à revenir sur le devant de la scène du sport automobile. Préparées par Prodrive, deux Countryman sillonneront dès la saison prochaine les routes du WRC. Non sans ambition.
La rumeur courait ces derniers mois, la confirmation vient de tomber : Mini est de retour en WRC, et la réapparition de cette marque mythique est comparable à celle de Lotus en F1 cette saison. Espérons simplement pour le constructeur allemand (Mini appartient à BMW) que la réussite soit un peu plus au rendez-vous parmi l'élite des rallyes que pour l'écurie anglaise, qui connaît une première moitié de championnat difficile. L'objectif est en tout cas clairement défini pour Mini, qui s'appuiera dès l'année prochaine sur la structure Prodrive, associée à Subaru jusqu'en 2008.
"Remporter le titre mondial d'ici trois ans"
"Le but est clair, nous voulons être compétitifs d'entrée et, avec BMW et Mini, nous nous sommes donné l'objectif de remporter le titre mondial d'ici trois ans", indique ainsi sans ambages David Richards, le patron de Prodrive. La Mini WRC se basera sur le modèle Countryman de série, et même si les premiers essais sont prévus pour la fin 2010, les revenants ne seront pas prêts à temps pour s'inscrire à l'ensemble de la saison 2011.
Mini participera donc à la moitié des courses du calendrier l'an prochain avant un engagement complet en 2012. Particulièrement confiant, David Richards n'hésite pas à en rajouter une couche: "Nous avons six titres mondiaux à notre actif. Nous savons ce qu'il faut faire pour y parvenir." Pas certain que cette déclaration d'intention ne suffise à faire trembler Sébastien Loeb et Citroën pour le moment, mais cette annonce a déjà le mérite d'insuffler un vent de fraîcheur bienvenu sur le WRC.
Mini va faire le maximum
Reste encore à déterminer le ou les pilotes qui s'associeront au projet. Si Marcus Grönholm et P-G Andersson sont d'ores et déjà pressentis, Richards garde un faible pour ses compatriotes. "Une de nos priorités est de recruter les meilleurs pilotes disponibles quelle que soit leur nationalité, mais j'ai toujours essayé d'avoir un pilote britannique dans l'équipe." Les noms de Matthew Wilson (Stobart), qui n'a toujours pas gagné un seul rallye, et du Nord-Irlandais Kris Meeke, tenant du titre en IRC, se placeraient alors en tête de liste.
34 ans après sa dernière victoire sur les routes du mythique Monte-Carlo - absent du calendrier 2011 mais que Mini remporta tout de même à trois reprises, en 1964, 1965 et donc 1967 - la firme allemande pourra également compter sur un changement de règlement a priori opportun pour elle. Dès 2011 en effet, toutes les voitures engagées en WRC devront être équipées d'un moteur 1.6 turbo. Ainsi, contrairement à Citroën ou à Ford, qui doivent aussi gérer un présent envahissant, Mini peut dès aujourd'hui y concentrer toute son énergie.

Brushless motors
Hej,I'm not sure this is the right spot to have this topic but i'll give a try
The poll is more fo the fun of it. I listed some of what I think it could be a reason I have not seen brushless motors installed on slot cars as it happens for the air models in recent years.
Maybe I am totally wrong but I think brushless would be a new step forward in the digital contest of slot cars.
Cheers,

Looks like we will only be able to get F1 Ferrari models from Carrera (which in the past were not as good models or runners compared to their Scaly counterparts)
Any reviews / pictures on the extermely rare Scaly Ferrari ?

Por sus llantas los conoceréis
Vienen a mí recuerdos que creía pasados. La calidad en la fabricación de las piezas de recambio para coches de slot había subido y ya no me acordaba de ello. ¡Es imposible encontrar un juego de llantas de plástico rectas!. Mi coche bota, pero no voy a caer en el viejo y olvidado hábito de comprar y comprar y abrir y abrir un paquete tras otro de llantas.
La foto de hoy son tres Megane (espero que no, que Yogane) ya casi listos para afrontar la nueva temporada de Q-Slot. Cada piloto con sus preferencias de pilotaje y esa es precisamente su diferencia exterior. Por sus llantas los conoceréis.
No nos vemos, que me quedo en casa, no quiero pasar calor.

Scalextric Advanced Digital 6 Car Power Base First Impressions
Greetings, all.
I've been given the enviable opportunity to review the new power base for SCI. I have only had the review unit for a short time so testing/review is not complete yet, but I thought some of you might enjoy some of my first impressions. A complete review from the perspective of someone with a fully upgraded SSD layout, including PB-Pro with Simple-H, including some comparisons between the two as well as my impressions of its feature set as a whole will be forthcoming shortly, hopefully by the end of the week.
First off, I must say that I'm well impressed. Everything I imagined it could be, it is. Everything I knew to be true based on past reports and releases, is true. Everything I hoped to be true, appears to be. It even held a few surprises for me.
We know a lot about the new base, since it was announced with a more or less complete feature list, and the manual itself was released as well. We knew it had a pace car function, but one thing I didn't know was that the pace cars are quite versatile. They can be set to a specific speed, with lane changing set to none, random, or constant. That's cool, but the real kicker was that the pace cars can have their laps counted or not (on an individual basis) AND have their lane changing behavior selected. Yes, each car can be set individually to SIX different lane changing/lap counting combinations, along with individually controlled speeds. This feature really wowed me, partly because I was not expecting it, but also because it's MORE versatile than the latest PB-Pro software.
There are a lot of features and I'll get to them all as best I can in my full review. I will mention one thing a lot of people are probably interested in, and that's power. So far I've only had 5 cars running around at once, using two power supplies, so it's not a complete stress test, but it didn't bat an eyelash. The original 6 car power base would have been showing signs of power drops with 5 cars, but this one wasn't. This was with 4 pace cars and one controlled car. I'll really run it through the ringer in my full review, and see how many cars it can push before it starts to complain about it. From what I've seen so far, though, a power upgrade is something few people will feel the need for.
Analog mode works great, but again, I haven't had time to really put the hammer down and give it a real run. Rest assured that analog performance will factor heavily into my full review.
I'm sorry if this is too much of a tease for you, and I regret that I won't be able to answer any questions people post here until my review is complete and posted here on SCI. Hopefully this gives you something to look forward to rather than complain about. :)
Thanks!

Helio loses it....
Hi y'all,
I watched the IndyCar Edmonton GP Sunday afternoon and must say I was completely shocked at the black flag given to Helio Castroneves for "blocking" when Scott Dixon and Will Power made their moves going into turn one late in the race. I have read most of Helio's and IndyCar's statements and I am a bit surprised how strict the blocking rules are in IndyCar.
Yes, Helio moved over on Will, however, he had to quickly move back to drivers' right because Scott Dixon was on a ferocious charge on the inside. Personally, I saw no move by Helio that was "over the top." I suppose I need to define "over the top." To me, that would mean darned near chopping the front end off of an overtaking car. In this case, Helio wrecked NO ONE. I'm not even sure that any of the 3 cars involved even got a scratch out of the deal !
Here are the questions to which I am seeking answers:
a) Does anyone think Helio really made a dangerous blocking move?
b) Was the penalty/black flag too strict?
c) Are IndyCars' rules on overtaking and blocking too strict?
Ok, now it's time for y'all to weigh in on this issue......
KIITS,
Lawrence

Does SCX digital have the nicest components?
All other things aside, does SCX digital have the nicest components? For example, I don't know what it's called, maybe the fuel meter, where it has 1, 2, 3 and the bar meter. That looks good to me. But I don't know if the other brands have things like this or if they look as nice. Could someone comments on who has the nicest/prettiest "stuff" for digital? Thanks.

Should the Paddock be moved...???
Quote:
|
Welcome to the Forums section of SCI magazine. The Paddock is where you can discuss the finer points of Racing with fellow Racers Worldwide. Chat about tires, gearing and braking points on the tracks you race on. Find the answers to which motor works... |
Also the Paddock's sub forums are geared to new members, which in turn lets them ask questions here that could be answered better in the more appropriate board, but it's at the top and the welcome mat is out for them.
The Paddock seems to be habitated more by those folks who like 1/32nd scale and analog type racing which when questions of what scale is best or the recent on-going digital discussion tends to have a bias...not intentionally, but because of the makeup of those visiting and posting on this specific board.
Also, and I guess this up to the moderators, there are other topics here that don't fit the above outline of the Paddock, but are regularly allowed. For instance, I don't read into the description where discussions of real racing fits...???...and I think if that wasn't allowed, a lot of heated exchanges by and between some members wouldn't exist. And while not controversial at all, the Members New Wheels post should perhaps be moved to each scale's board...and in this case it has been all 1/32nd scale cars posted - which in a way backs up who posts/visits here more often. Actually, I see very few posts under what is the Paddock's description.
A case in point is the recent resignation of a new member because, as was so aptly put, he came into this lion's den wearing a costume of fresh red meat and posting on two subjects that devour the weak instantly. Kurt and I can (and have) gone constantly back and forth over a particular racing series for years now, but I know if I were to go to Sellersburg or he to Knoxville either way we'd pop open some brews have a good ol' time. But in the same respect, I can see how a new "innocent" visitor/member could see that this might not be the friendliest of places.
Reading the other more specific boards there is far less rancor there - oh sure, there is still the continued debate over magnet vs non-magnet or plastic vs wood (mostly in 1/32nd), but those and other topics don't rise to the shrillness some here in the Paddock sometimes do.
Basically, I'm not asking for the Paddock to be redefined (though I think its intent is better served in the other boards), but rather moved downward so that the best face :) of SCI can be shown to all that are arriving here the first time. And it might not make the Paddock a catch-all for all kinds of topics.
Just a thought...

Scratch Talbot T26C Supermarine
C'est à la fin des années 50 qu'Art U. Rainbow, grand poète de la mécanique et glorieux pilote engagé dans la RAF pendant la 2eme guerre mondiale, décida de transformer sa vieille Talbot T26C déclassée en vue de tenter de battre quelques records du monde de vitesse.
C'est ainsi que, sur un châssis rallongé et renforcé, fut installé un moteur Rolls Royce Merlin gonflé de Supermarine Spitfire.
Le train arrière jumelé tentait de transmettre l'extraordinaire puissance au sol. Une dérive caudale installée après les premiers essais canalisait autant que possible la stabilité longitudinale du monstre.
Serre tête en cuir, petite moustache et blouson de Rocketeer, l'aristocrate Art au volant, l'attelage ne manque pas d'élégance…
L'histoire pourrait commencer ainsi mais, bien entendu, Art et son bolide n'ont jamais existé que dans mon imagination !
C'est lorsque j'ai reçu les nouvelles grandes roues à rayon de chez BRM que j'ai eu l'idée de réaliser cet impressionnant mais improbable engin, scratché à partir de la Talbot T26C monoplace, posée sur un châssis laiton non modifié Pénélope Pitlane.
Pour passer la puissance au sol, les roues arrière ont été jumelées. L'axe tenu en main, il faut d'abord serrer les roues intérieures, puis extérieures.
Le look qui tue est offert par l'énorme moteur (Mustang P51B Tamiya au 32eme) à l'air libre, gentiment offert par un membre du forum FIGHTERS, que je vous invite d'ailleurs à visiter si vous êtes amateur de belles maquettes d'avions. Le moteur est simplement posé au fond du châssis PP, et les supports moteurs du Mustang viennent habiller les flancs verticaux en laiton. Les échappements sont fabriqués en tube alu, les pipes d'admission supérieures volées sur le turbo d'une Porsche 917/10 GBTrack. Le radiateur provient d'une March Fly.
La carrosserie de la T26, tronçonnée et amputée de son capot moteur, a reçu une dérive caudale en carte plastique. Elle est ensuite chromée à l'Alclad passé à l'aérographe. A noter que maintenant l'Alclad est proposé aussi en bombe (intéressant ! ndCH).
La calandre a été affinée et un grillage très fin est collé en place par l'intérieur. Elle est ensuite fixée au radiateur par l'intermédiaire de deux épingles coupées.
Pour en terminer, deux triangles de suspension prennent place entre les deux.
Le buste d'Art U. Rainbow (ça y est Kiki tu as compris le jeu de mots ? ;) (ben voui, hein ! Même si j'ai été long… ndCH) provient d'un sachet de pilotes PSK, peint à la peinture acrylique Citadel.
Pour obtenir l'effet cuir, le fond est peint en « Vermin Brown », puis en « Scorched Brown » essuyé avant que ça sèche, ainsi la couleur de fond plus claire ressort sur les bosses.
La cocarde est trouvée dans ma boite à rabiots, issue probablement d'un très vieux kit Frog ou Matchbox qui doit avoir au moins 40 ans…
Bon, ça n'est pas tout à fait fini, la carro n'a pas été fixée au châssis, et il n'y a ni guide ni fils. Mais dès que mon emploi du temps de ministre me l'autorise, j'installe 18 mètres de rails en ligne droite dans le couloir et je me tape un run pour voir ce que le Cartrix FX Sport a dans le ventre !

Rallyes Mini renoue officiellement avec le WRC
Dans l'air depuis plusieurs semaines déjà, le retour de Mini en WRC a été officialisé ce mardi. Conséquence de la nouvelle réglementation technique S2000 qui entrera en vigueur en 2011, la marque mythique, qui dans les années 60 s'était illustrée dans le cadre du Championnat du monde des rallyes en décrochant trois victoires au Monte-Carlo, revient sur le devant de la scène du sport automobile. Deux Mini Coutryman préparées par les Britanniques de Prodrive prendront part épisodiquement à la saison 2011, avant une participation pleine programmée pour 2012. Marcus Grönholm et P-G Andersson sont déjà pressentis pour être de l'aventure l'an prochain.

Encuentro Lancia en el Chateau de la Crête.
Desde el Italian Car Club me mandan esta crónica del Encuentro de Clubs Lancia de Francia, que tuvo lugar el último domingo de Mayo en el Chateau de la Crête, municipio de Audes, en el Allier, en pleno centro de Francia. Un sitio verdaderamente sorprendente, con una configuración ideal para una manifestación como ésta.
Se juntó un centenar de coches, una buena parte de la historia de Lancia desde un Lancia Belna al nuevo Lancia Delta puesto a disposición por Lancia France. Algunos se habían reunido el dia anterior para tomar parte en las etapas previstas: rallye desde el Château de Randan para unos, o fuertes sensaciones en el circuito de la Chatre para otros.
El acto principal consistía en un paseo matinal después del desayuno. Un rallye de 120 km permitió tener un Lancia cada 500 metros. La llegada era en el patio del castillo y allí se mostraron los coches participantes para la sesión de fotos mientras se servía la comida en la sala de recepción en la que estaba expuesto un Lancia Flavia Coupé en honor del cincuentenario del modelo.
Un fantástico fin de semana para todos los participantes.
Las fotos oficiales están en la web
