FORO SLOT MADRID / CONSOLIDATION
Excellent reception of this edition
The Foro Slot Madrid winter edition has meant the definitive consolidation of this event as a sample of the slot sector. The presence of numerous manufacturers, distributors and small merchants helped thousands of visitors to gather at the Aero Club de España venue.

Fly Car Model focused its presence on the presentation of the new Renault 5 GT Turbo and the collaboration agreement with Scaleauto to create a new Fly Racing Evo 3 range. Fly bodies with Scaleauto chassis and components. BMW M1, Porsche 917, Lancia 037 or Porsche 911 will be the first to appear in this new range. You could also see the prototypes of the Ford Transit.
