LANCIA STRATOS "R.A.C.E. '81"

The Team Slot Lancia Stratos R.A.C.E. '81: history and passion on four wheels

Few competition saloons have left such a deep mark on the motorsport imagination as the Lancia Stratos. With its radical wedge silhouette, Ferrari-derived mechanics, and its overwhelming dominance in the rallies of the seventies and early eighties, the Stratos is synonymous with a golden era that slot enthusiasts and collectors never cease to celebrate. Team Slot revives it in reference TS11511 with the R.A.C.E. '81 livery, one of the most sought-after finishes by those following the track record of this iconic model.

Features and highlights

Team Slot is a brand with a recognised trajectory within the Spanish slot sector, appreciated for the care it puts into its decorations and for the fidelity with which it reproduces historical liveries. In this case, the R.A.C.E. '81 decoration evokes the competitions of the early eighties in which the Stratos still battled on asphalt and gravel against much more modern rivals, with an unmistakable visual presence.

Scale and level of detail

Team Slot models are characterised by a meticulous finish that makes them attractive both for collectors who display them and for enthusiasts who race them on their circuits. The screen printing accurately reproduces the sponsors and graphic elements typical of the era, transporting directly to the golden years of European rallying.

Track performance

The Lancia Stratos in slot format is a compact car with a favourable centre of gravity for technical circuits. Its weight distribution and chassis allow it to tackle chicanes and hairpins with ease, making it a fun option for both entertainment sessions and historical categories in clubs. As with all slot models, a proper adjustment of the guide, braids, and tyres will make the difference between a car that runs well and one that runs outstandingly.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of historical rally and classic GT liveries.
• Slot enthusiasts looking for period models for themed categories.
• Fans of the Lancia Stratos and European rallying from the seventies and eighties.
• Analogue track circuits that organise championships or historical car events.

Aspects to consider

If you plan to race this model regularly, we recommend periodically checking the condition of the braids and guide to maintain optimal electrical performance. Keeping the model away from direct light will also help preserve the vibrancy of the decoration in the long term.
