New SCX car: Ferrari F2007 1/32



Take Felipe Massa right to the top at the controls of your SCX® in digital format


SCX® PRESENTS THE FERRARI F2007
Get the Ferrari that was the key to Kimi's victory in the 2007 World Championship SCX® brings you the Ferrari F2007 driven by Felipe Massa, the perfect number two for Kimi Räikkönen, who took the Formula 1 World Championship with a lot of help from his Brazilian team-mate, who in the final race gave no openings to the McLarens who were aiming for the
title. The car boasts a highly aggressive, sporty look, keeping the passion red colour scheme which is typical of Ferrari. Striking at the front is the double spoiler with its aerodynamic lines, the different sponsors' logos and Felipe Massa's race number, 5.
In the side view of this SCX® model you can see the eye-catching air intakes and the different logos, with those of Shell and Ferrari standing out because of their size. Other features include the aerial, the different spoilers and fins designed to enhance the car's aerodynamics and the
raised rear-view mirrors which were introduced for the first time in the previous season. Also worth a special mention is the system supporting the wheels and the wheels themselves.
At the back of this Ferrari F2007 are to be found the brake light and an accurate reproduction of the double spoiler, with logos at each end and with the twin exhaust pipes well-concealed with black paint. This Ferrari model sports a largely red and black colour scheme rather than the white which was more prominent last season.
Inside this SCX® vehicle the reproduction of the pilot is the main feature, with decorated overalls and helmet. The blue, yellow and green colours of the Brazilian flag brighten up the helmet worn by this driver, who finished fourth in the 2007 Formula 1 World Championship and proved to be the key to the victory of his team-mate, Kimi Räikkönen.


Track Trials
The SCX® the digital system Formula 1 models are very much the same as in the SCX® the original range, but with some adjustments. They have a narrower wheeltrack and their overall length is greater, featuring a generous guide distance. They are more stylised cars, in scale
proportion to modern F1 vehicles. The low weight also does its little bit to help in the dynamics,enhancing the results of the changes which have also been made to the motors.
Another technical aspect worth highlighting is the new SCX® the digital system chip. It works in the same way as the others, but is extremely small so that it fits into the restricted space available in a single-seater, so that you can run F1 races with all the authenticity of the real thing. Pit stops, refuelling and overtaking tactics, all accurate to scale. All of it as real as what you see on TV on a Sunday.
In terms of the design of the cars, they are longer and narrower than other SCX® models and can race side by side without any risk of colliding. Overtaking a slower car is not hard, and you need not worry whether its wheels touch your own a little. There is plenty of space to get past
the “moving chicanes”. On the track, the F1 cars look very fast as they get ahead flat out, with good straight acceleration due to their length and a healthy skid when the magnet loses its grip. Light and agile in their movements, they are highly sensitive to the fuel load they are carrying and pit stops seem faster than with other Digital cars. Their behaviour overall is very similar to the other SCX® the digital system cars, and it is probably their single-seater appearance that gives them that edge of intensity that they exude.
* Test conducted with factory settings. Supplementary magnet fitted. Screws adjusted to be closer to the track.

The Real Ferrari F2007
SCX® brings you the car which finished fourth in the 2007 Formula 1 World Championship, and in which Felipe Massa ended up becoming an absolute nightmare for Alonso and Hamilton’s McLarens, taking vital points off them to stop them coming out on top. The Italian team is the
oldest in the championship and the one with the best-stocked trophy cupboard, with no less than 14 world drivers’ championships and 14 world manufacturers’ championships.
The “scuderia”, as the general public refers to Ferrari’s sports division, took part in the first Formula One World Championship in 1950, in the first year of its existence. The Argentinean José-Froilán González brought it its first win in the 1951 British Grand Prix and the Italian Alberto Ascari gave the firm with the “prancing horse” logo its first world championship just a
year later.
Ferrari signed Felipe Massa in 2006 to replace his compatriot Rubens Barrichello as Michael Schumacher’s number two. The new Ferrari driver achieved several podium positions and two wins, in the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix and the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix (so becoming the first Brazilian since Ayrton Senna to win in his home country), as well as three pole positions (in Turkey, Japan and Brazil).
Massa finished third in the 2006 F1 World Championship, and in the following season in his Ferrari F2007 he played a decisive part in the final victory of his team-mate, the Finn Kimi Räikkönen, so regaining the title for the legendary Italian manufacturer. The Brazilian finished fourth, just behind the two McLarens, who saw the title slip from their grasp in the last race of the championship.

The history of SCX or spanish Scalextric

In 1962, the English company Lines Bros Ltd, owner of the trademark Scalextric , signed a contract with the Spanish company Exin . This Spanish company would sell the Scalextric products in Spain and Portugal, manufacturing everything but the cars in Spain. After some time, even the cars would be done in Spain. Exin created soon their own line of models, being the first one the famous Seat 600 in 1966. In 1971 Lines Bros Ltd, as a result of its financial problems, sold the Scalextric line of products to Dunbee , Combex and Marx. Exin went on being a subsidiary of Scalextric and selling their products in Spain. And they got more independence from the mother company.

Every child in Spain wished to have one…In 1980 Scalextric was sold again, this time to Hornby Hobbies. It seemed Exin would have no financial problems, they e...

SCX, Scalextric in Spain has had a long history, and a lot of problems.
