Slot Car of the Year 2022

This is a bit of an easy one this year, even though it took forever for me to finally write this up. Ferrari 512M from Slot.it is a masterpiece. If Slot.it is going to step it up this far, the other companies have something to worry about. They already were a powerhouse slot car maker, and they have certainly put out some great stuff, but this just passes all the competition right up. Nothing that I've seen has been better.


 It showed up at the top of pretty much everybody's list as COTY, and it's not a surprise. While some brands put out some impressive cars [NSR's Porsche 917/10K and Revoslot's Ford Escort], they just weren't enough to beat this beauty. 
It's not just the looks where this car shines. It's also very nicely built on the inside, and is an extremely fast and well-balanced race car. It will win races. Lots of them.


I think it's all about the detail and workmanship. Not a millimeter was spared detail on the 512M. I'm sure this isn't the last model, and I've already heard Dave Kennedy talking about a Sunoco Special. You know I'll have to have that one.
