Fleischmann track
Many slot racers do think that the track parts of Fleischmann are the best ever made. The surface of the hard plastic track is medium grained. The width of the track is about 18 cm and the depth of the slot is 7mm. The track parts are easy to connect. Fleischmann produced a great variety of different track parts.
Fleischmann slot cars
At the time the Fleischmann slot cars were well detailed, especially compared to the models of the competitor Scalextric. The speed of the slot cars is realistic. A race motor could replace the solid standard motor.
Lotus Ford
Most people do know the Lotus Ford (in green, blue and orange) because two of these types of cars were bundled with the track sets. Other types of Fleischmann have been the Mercedes 250 SL, the Porsche Carrera 6, two types of Formula One cars, a Ferrari and a Cooper Maserati, a go-cart, the CAN-AM Porsche 917, an Alfa Romeo, a German and Dutch police car (Porsche 917), other Porsches 917 and 935, a Formula One "Niki Lauda" Ferrari No.1 and the BMW M1.
Fleischmann manual
Fleischmann was smart to enclose every track with an excellent manual. It was not only a technical manual but it gave an overview of the entire Fleischmann Auto-Rallye production.
