The most emotional victory of the hybrid era of the WRC in 1/43 scale: the Ford Puma Rally 1 of Sébastien Loeb at the Monte Carlo Rally 2022, featuring official M-Sport decoration, front lights, adjustable neodymium magnet, and rear-wheel drive for the Scalextric Compact range.
A historic miniature victory: Sébastien Loeb's Ford Puma Rally 1 at Monte Carlo 2022, now on your Compact circuit.
There are victories that transcend sport. The triumph of Sébastien Loeb and Isabelle Galmiche at the 2022 Monte Carlo Rally was one of them: at 47 years old, the most decorated French driver in WRC history returned to claim the first rally of the new hybrid era behind the wheel of the Ford Puma Rally 1 prepared by M-Sport. This Scalextric Compact model recreates that moment with a precision and care that make it a reference piece both on the track and in the display case.
Features and highlights
- Reference: C10463S300
- Scale: 1/43
- Range: Scalextric Compact
- Drive: Rear
- Lighting: Yes — functional front lights
- Magnet: Yes — adjustable and removable (neodymium)

The decoration faithfully reproduces the official livery of Loeb's car: the deep blue and purple combination that made the M-Sport Puma Rally 1 so recognisable in the snowy stages of the Principality of Monaco. The large rear wing, side air intakes, and sponsor graphics are treated with the level of detail demanded by the 1/43 scale.
Track performance
The neodymium magnet — adjustable in intensity and removable for a freer driving experience — ensures a fast and stable cornering performance. The rear-wheel drive distributes power well and allows the driver to manage sliding in technical sections, which is particularly satisfying on the linked curves typical of Compact circuits.
The functional front lights add an extra touch of realism, especially appreciated in home night competitions or in rally diorama settings on carpet.
Scale and level of detail
The 1/43 scale is specific to the Scalextric Compact range, designed for smaller spaces without sacrificing the excitement of competition. The body of the Ford Puma Rally 1 reproduces the characteristic aerodynamic lines of the real vehicle: the aggressive front, oversized wheel arches, and the compact silhouette that makes the Puma one of the most photogenic rally cars in recent WRC history.
