There is a wide variety of models that is used in our Carrera GT3 racing.There is McLarens,Audis,Ford Mustangs,Corvettes,Porsches,Lamborghinis,Mercedes,BMW.The McLaren and Audi that my daughter and I use are consistently the quickest cars and the Ferrari and Mercedes that we have as backup are nearly as quick.It really comes down to personal preference but from what I have found testing various different models is that the lower sleeker models like the McLaren,Ferrari,Corvette and Lamborghini are consistently quick and handle better than the bulkier BMW and Mustangs.

thanks Tony, I thought the Mclaren would be a contender! Are they releasing a Corvette C8r anytime soon? Might get a couple as they a lot cheaper than NSR

The Carrera Corvette C8R yellow and Silver/grey were released maybe 2022, not sure if there is a re-paint being released this year.

No problems,I don’t know if Carrera is releasing a Corvette C8r but the current Corvette is definitely a contender to be one of the quickest cars.All we are allowed to do as far as tuning goes is to change the stock Carrera tyres to MJK,shave the chassis slightly to allow for body float and sanding of axles to make sure there is no drag in the bearings.Not allowed to add weight and only standard magnets,motors and gear ratio.

sounds like a relatively easy setup, I'll have to get one. Is the track magna braid or tinned copper?

Yes it is an easy setup basically straight out of the box with minimal tuning so as to keep costs down and leave it to driver ability rather than who has the deepest pockets.The track is Magna braid.Later in the year we will be racing the new Carrera Nascars on a soon to be built 6 lane oval track.
