Toyota 88C BRITISH BARN BB90R 88 Suzuka 1000 km

The Slot.it Toyota 88C revives one of the most unique liveries of the Japanese Group C

The reference SICA19F from Slot.it reproduces the Toyota 88C with the British Barn BB90R livery that participated in the 1988 Suzuka 1000 km. A legendary event of the World Endurance Championship that brought together the most competitive Group C prototypes of the time in Japan, and which the British Barn team faced with this unmistakable livery on the Toyota 88C body.

Slot.it is one of the leading brands in the high-fidelity slot car segment. Its models stand out for the precision of the bodies, the quality of the chassis, and the reliability of their mechanics, all designed for both the most demanding collector and the driver competing on club tracks.

Technical specifications

Scale and level of detail

The model is manufactured in 1/32 scale, the most widely used standard in the world of competitive slot racing and collecting. The body faithfully reproduces the lines of the Toyota 88C, one of the Japanese prototypes that marked the second half of the 1980s in Group C. The British Barn BB90R decoration is printed with great precision, reproducing a livery that is rarely found on the market with this level of detail.

The aluminium rear wheels are not just an aesthetic detail: they provide lower rotating mass and greater stiffness compared to plastic wheels, resulting in a more responsive acceleration and better handling on the track.

Track performance

The V12/3 motor at 21,500 RPM is one of the inline motors in the Slot.it range, known for its balance between power and smooth running. The 9/28 pinion/crown gear ratio offers a gearing suited for medium to large tracks, where prototypes of this type find their natural habitat.

The chassis is designed for the Sport rail, Slot.it's proprietary system, which is also compatible with Scaleauto tracks. The model's geometry — with a wheelbase of 83.60 mm and a well-distributed weight of 70 g — provides stability in fast corners and good traction on corner exits.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of 1980s Group C prototypes, especially from the Japanese endurance scene.
• Club racers competing in historic prototype categories looking for a balanced and well-engineered car straight from the factory.
• Slot enthusiasts wanting to expand their collection with an unusual and visually striking livery.

Considerations

This model is prepared for Sport rail tracks. If your circuit is universal rail (Scalextric, Ninco), you will need to adapt the guide. Slot.it offers a wide catalogue of spare parts and replacement pieces — guides, braids, tyres, crown gears — that allow you to keep the car in perfect condition over time and customise it according to the needs of each track.

Frequently asked questions

What type of track is this car compatible with?

The Slot.it Toyota 88C SICA19F is designed for Sport rail tracks, the system used by Slot.it and Scaleauto. To use it on universal rail tracks (Scalextric, Ninco), it is necessary to change the guide to one compatible with that system.

What type of motor does it have?

It incorporates a V12/3 inline motor (in line with the rear axle) at 21,500 RPM. This configuration positions the motor longitudinally relative to the rear axle, which helps lower the centre of gravity and improve corner stability.

Is it suitable for club racing or just for collecting?

It is perfectly valid for both uses. Slot.it designs its models with the dual purpose of collecting and racing: the mechanics are ready to run from the first moment, and the wide availability of spare parts facilitates preparation and maintenance over time.

Why are the rear wheels made of aluminium?

Aluminium wheels reduce rotational inertia compared to plastic ones, improving acceleration response. Additionally, they are stiffer and more precise in mounting the tyres, which promotes cleaner and more balanced running.

Are spare parts available for this model?

Yes. Slot.it has one of the most comprehensive spare parts catalogs in the industry: guides, braids, tyres, crown gears, pinions, motors, and much more. Most components are interchangeable between different models of the brand.

What do the initials BB90R in the model name represent?

BB90R refers to the internal designation of the British Barn team for this version of the Toyota 88C that participated in the 1988 Suzuka 1000 km. Slot.it reproduces the exact decoration with which the car competed in that World Endurance Championship event.
