No.: 30832 Immediately
after its debut in 1978, the Zakspeed Capri was the car to beat in the DRM (German Racing Championship). However, due to some teething problems and unfortunate internal team decisions, it wasn’t until 1981 that Klaus Ludwig finally secured the first (and only) title. That same season, Jürgen Hamelmann drove one of the other Capris. As a relative newcomer, he achieved five third-place finishes and four fourth-place finishes, ending the season in the middle of the pack in sixth place overall. As a race car, however, it was one of the most colorful and eye-catching in the field, making it practically predestined for a slot car adaptation.
In terms of handling, the front independent suspension is noticeable due to its relatively loud noise level. With all magnets installed, there is no sweet spot, and the car is difficult to drive. Without the rear magnet, controllability improves significantly, but the model requires a delicate touch in tight turns.
