We do stuff with the Scalextric distributor here in Dubai but he's just let me down. After chasing him for two months to see if I could get 5no Ferrari F1 cars, he's just got off his arse and found out that he can't get any new ones as the Ferrari licence has expired so they don't make them anymore.

That's fair enough, but his faffing around means that I now need to find them by other means and I don't have much time left.

They're for the digital World Championship course.

Can anyone help!

As long as they work on the Scalextric World Championship track, and are good quality, it could be an option.

Ah... I called Jadlam at 9am this morning. No joy.

There's a seller on Amazon that has 5 but they're based in CA so I've got to wait a while to call them - trying to get through Amazon says they can't ship.

Be careful, chipping cars from other manufacturers can be troublesome as higher rated motors will blow components on the digital chip.

Aside from this they will probably go and handle very differently to the Scalextric cars creating uneven races.

Sorry chap. Manic week, 3 core members of staff have been away this week and its been a nightmare.

Scalextric don't have a Ferrari license at the moment. Carrera cars will work out of the box on an analogue set up.
