The BMW 320 Turbo Flachbau Team Schnitzer, No.55 DRM 1980 made racing history. In 1980 Hans Joachim Stuck quit driving Formula 1 cars to focus on the German Motor Racing Championship (DRM). He found the perfect partner in the BMW 320 Turbo flat-build version. Nine of these cars with 1.4-litre turbo engines and around 450-hp dominated races, defeating the classic induction engine cars. Back in 1980, the smaller car division race at the Norisring was a major event. That year, on lap 6 Hans Heyers Lancia Beta Montecarlo broke its brake discs, turned over many times and ended up in pieces. Stuck drove this BMW to an overall 2nd place at the end of the season. The 1:32 scale analog slot car is powered by an inline E200 motor. Each car is fitted with replaceable double contact brushes for maximum contact with the slot car track while downforce magnets make for quick cornering and great handling. Carrera cars are real head-turners thanks to high-quality tampo-printing over detailed molds designed to faithfully replicate the original car. Even the interior and the driver inside looks just as good as the exterior! This Carrera Evolution car in 1:32 scale will work on all Carrera Evolution slot car tracks and can be upgraded to a digital car in the future with the addition of a digital decoder.(sold separately)
