Mega-G+ Ford GT40 MKII #97 Daytona HO Slot Car

The Daytona Grand Prix in 1966 was the perfect warm up for Ford’s fleet of MKIIs. This was the first year the Daytona race would be a 24 hour event, making the challenge for the car and drivers that much harder. Dan Gurney and Jerry Grant were up for the challenge in the #97 car. In fact, the MKIIs finished in a record-breaking 1-2-3-5 sweep, taking the racing world by storm and paving the way for Le Mans. 

Relive the thrill, speed, and endurance of the iconic GT40 MKII.

CHASSIS: Mega G+ SHORT Wheelbase Chassis (1.5″)

Mega G+ CHASSIS

This new Mega G+ chassis doesn’t just go faster or handle better than the competition. And it doesn’t just have the ultra-low, narrow dimensions of the original Mega G to continue the reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth. It’s smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built.

We wanted wheel to wheel racing, lap after lap, the feel of driving a real car. But we couldn’t do it by just changing the chassis. We had to create a whole new system…

Mega G+ Race System

Made up of our new Mega G+ Chassis, Upgraded AFX120 Controllers and Exclusive Tri-Power Pack, the Mega G+ Race System is the perfect balance of grip and speed. With decades of slot car innovation and over a year of experimentation, this is the best out of the box slot car system you can buy.
