Toyota Supra - British GT 2003

A Japanese classic from British circuits on your slot track

The Toyota Supra was one of the most eye-catching sports cars on the grid of the British GT Championship in the early 2000s. Against the usual European names in the championship, the muscular silhouette of the Supra with its large rear wing and twin-turbo mechanics represented a bold and different choice. Superslot has captured that spirit in this 1/32 scale replica, true to the car with which Chris Dawkins and Kevin Clark competed under the number 80 during the 2003 season.

Features and Highlights

• 1/32 scale, universal standard for slot tracks compatible with Scalextric and Ninco, among others.
• Pad printed decoration with the official colours and sponsors of the Toyota Supra no. 80 from British GT 2003.
• Magnatraction system integrated into the chassis for greater grip in corners and increased stability at high speeds.
• Functional front and rear lights that add realism, especially during night sessions or in low light conditions.
• Digital Plug Ready (DPR) system: ready for digital conversion with the corresponding brand chip, without the need to modify the chassis.
• Easy-change guide for simple maintenance at home or in clubs.

Scale and Level of Detail

The body captures the most recognisable features of the competition Supra: the aerodynamic lines of the bonnet with its characteristic vents, the wide rear wing, and the team’s graphic decoration as it appeared on track. The pad printing, to which Superslot pays special attention in its licensed series models, reproduces sponsor logos and race numbers with precision and good definition.

Track Performance

The Magnatraction system is one of the elements most valued by enthusiasts in Superslot models, as it provides additional grip thanks to the magnetic field over the metal rails of the track. This translates into more controlled driving in tight corners, making the model accessible for recreational drivers without sacrificing fun in more demanding sessions. The quick-change guide also facilitates maintenance of the braids without special tools.

Ideal for…

• Collectors interested in the British GT Championship and the history of British endurance motorsport from the early 2000s.
• Slot racing enthusiasts looking for a model with good stability thanks to Magnatraction.
• Users wanting to add a visually striking Japanese sports car to their collection.
• Those who have or want to set up a digital system compatible with Superslot DPR chips.

Considerations

This model is designed for universal track systems (Scalextric, Ninco, and compatibles). For digital conversion, it is necessary to purchase the corresponding DPR chip separately, as the car comes from the factory configured for analogue use. If you plan to use it in club competitions, it is advisable to check the local regulations regarding the use of Magnatraction, as some formats restrict it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it compatible with my Scalextric track?

Yes. As it is a 1/32 model with universal track, it is fully compatible with Scalextric and Ninco tracks, among others of the same standard.

What is the DPR system and do I need anything else to use it digitally?

DPR (Digital Plug Ready) means that the chassis has the connector prepared to insert a digital chip without modifications. To operate in digital mode, you will need to purchase the compatible Superslot chip separately, as well as a digital controller that supports that protocol.

What advantage does Magnatraction provide in day-to-day use?

Magnatraction generates a pulling force on the metal rails that improves grip in corners, reducing track departures and allowing for higher-speed cornering in a more controlled manner. It is especially useful for those new to the hobby or who prefer smoother sessions.

Can the braids be easily changed?

Yes. The quick-change guide makes accessing the braids easy without the need for special tools, making basic maintenance very straightforward both at home and in club sessions.

Who were the drivers of the Toyota Supra no. 80 in British GT 2003?

The number 80 was driven by Chris Dawkins and Kevin Clark during the 2003 season of the British GT Championship.

Do the lights work in analogue or only in digital?

The front and rear lights are functional in both analogue and digital modes, connected directly to the track power supply.
