Most would have started out in the hobby by getting a set for Christmas and had many hours racing on tracks put together on the carpet. All seven of these cars raced at the 1966 Le Mans 24hrs. Here is a collection of Ford GT40s from Fly Car Model.
Also, look at the cars from Le Mans Miniatures who produce very low runs of their beautiful resin slot cars. Models from Fly Car Model are highly detailed and very collectable. Because they're modelled in 1:32 Scale they are a nice size to display a collection. People have collected stamps, matchboxes, coins, art, in fact almost anything, so why not slot cars? Today most models come in a clear crystal box allowing you to see the model and even read its race description and driver details.
I know many collectors and while some may do a few test laps with their models, others will not even take them out of their boxes. Why be a Collector, you might ask? Are Slot Cars for racing on home or club tracks and not just for putting on a shelf?
I believe all of them equally enjoy real motorsport and want to emulate it by racing or collecting slot cars. There are many kinds of slot car enthusiast.
