Scale and level of detail

Policar is a brand that has earned the respect of the most demanding enthusiasts thanks to a level of detail that goes far beyond what is usual in 1/32 scale. This monoposto faithfully reproduces the sharp lines, elongated nose, and typical aerodynamic configuration of late-seventies monopostos, when Formula 1 was experiencing a true technical revolution.

The Beta-inspired decoration provides an unmistakable visual appeal, featuring the colours and graphics typical of Italian industrial sponsorship that characterised several teams that season.

On-track behaviour

Policar cars are designed to offer balanced performance on both club circuits and home setups. The chassis geometry and weight distribution are intended to provide predictable and enjoyable driving, without sacrificing the ability to fine-tune the mechanics for those seeking an extra edge in informal competition.

Ideal for…

• Collectors specialising in 1970s Formula 1.
• Slot enthusiasts who enjoy period monopostos on track.
• Users of Scalextric, Ninco, or compatible track systems in 1/32 scale.
• Those looking to complete a thematic collection of historic F1.

Aspects to consider

As this is a model of generic inspiration —not an official replica of a specific team or driver—, Policar has the freedom to reproduce the aesthetics of the era without being tied to homologation details. This allows for an evocative and visually accurate representation of the period without compromises.
