A New Carrera

 Yes, that's right. I bought a new Carrera car after maligning them so much all these years. Why? Because it was on sale, that's why. I found it in the Carrera aisle at my local toy store on sale for 25 euro, which is way below the standard retail price of the cars normally. 

Porsche 918 Spyder


I don't know what it's capable of. At best, an impressive middle of the pack finish. At worst, no better than any of the other Carreras. Either way, I'll put this car through the paces and he'll run all the races. I'm ordering replacement urethane tires immediately. The rest of the car will have to remain stock. I'll try to "tune" it as best as I can. 

You never know. If it were to do well, I might sing a different tune. Or maybe what I would do was try a different Carrera car and see how it does. And if that one did well, I might continue. THEN I might sing a different tune. But you're talking about this car going up against Slot.it, NSR, Thunderslot cars. Real racing slot cars. This car is at a tremendous disadvantage.
