It is a series where technology and innovation are deliberately equalised and performance is determined by human bravery, skill and excellence. Team and driver combine to create their advantage and the winning nation raises its flag in celebration.
The Scalextric model
Scalextric acquired the EXCLUSIVE worldwide rights to produce this car in support of the A1GP world series.
The car will be available in ten liveries in 2006 to include Great Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, USA, Italy, Australia, Holland and New Zealand.
