Default New Modern F1 cars (generic) by Ostorero

Sure hope they don't come with the usual Ostorero price tag:





Copied from source:

"The best Formula arrives

What happens when someone who has passed through the best design centers of the greatest F1 Teams decided to apply his experience in the slot world? With Daniele Ostorero behind this premises only might happen something good. And the proofs are the pictures that just released Ostorero.
These are the prototypes for a new range of Ostorero called GP Formula. Few cars with plastic body, without the reproduction of any specified team, a imaginary Formula 1 based on the last seasons single seaters, which will served in kit with a sheet of Decal in order that each one can decorated it as desired.
Are a 1:32 scale car with a good studied chassis, very competitive, with own Ostorero mechanical and with the possibility to be fitted well rubber tires or foam tires, to adapt it to the specific rules each club.
Shortly we may provide further information and availability dates."

I sent Ostorero a message Yesterday, which they quickly replied, about the price point. I was told that the new line will be on the price range of plastic cars, far away from their resin models. They expect to have them available in a couple of months.

I hope they run good on wood.
Wood racers need a open wheel car that can be lightly tuned to run well on wood. I have some Scalextric running well on wood, but with massive tuning.
