The Slotcar
The Fly Ford GT40 1:32 scale slot car (Ref: ELM09) is a highly detailed analogue slot car model that replicates the historic Ford GT40 MKII #57 entered by Shelby American Inc. in the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Features
• Drivers: Driven by the legendary racing duo Ronnie Bucknum (USA) and Paul Hawkins (Australia).
• Historical Accuracy: Features the iconic light blue livery with white racing stripes and #57 door decals. In the actual 1967 race, this specific car (chassis #1047) qualified in 5th place but unfortunately retired due to a valve failure.
• Limited Edition: This model is part of a specially commissioned Gaugemaster exclusive Le Mans Collection and is highly limited to only 200 units worldwide.
• Chassis & Compatibility: Built to a 1:32 scale, it utilizes an analogue configuration with a sidewinder motor setup, making it natively compatible with all standard 1:32 analogue track setups (like Scalextric, Carrera, and Ninco). It can also be converted to digital setups using compatible digital chips (such as the Scalextric C7005 chip
The Real Car
While Ford’s primary focus for the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans was their brand-new, aerodynamic Mk IV, they brought three upgraded Mk IIB models as highly capable insurance policies. Running under the iconic Shelby-American Inc. banner, the No. 57 car was the workhorse of that
The Race History
• The Drivers: The car was driven by American Formula 1 racer Ronnie Bucknum and legendary Australian driver Paul Hawkins.
• The Performance: Unlike the sweeping 1-2-3 podium finish of the Mk II cars the year prior (1966), the 1967 race was a brutal test of endurance. Bucknum and Hawkins fought valiantly, keeping the car in the mix for the majority of the event.
• The Result: The car suffered an engine valve failure 18 hours into the race. It forced a DNF (Did Not Finish) after completing 271 laps.
Redirection to Redemption
Despite bowing out at Le Mans, Chassis #1047 did not go to waste. Later that same season, Ford transferred the car to the Ford France team. Swapping its Shelby blue livery for French racing colors, it was driven by Jo Schlesser and Guy Ligier. They drove #1047 to an overall victory at the prestigious 12 Hours of Reims, giving the chassis its well-deserved moment of racing glory.
Technical Powerhouse
Under the hood of the real #57 was the monstrous 7.0-liter (427 cubic-inch) V8 engine. The "B" spec upgrade for 1967 added dual Holley carburetors, pushing the car's output to roughly 485 horsepower and enabling a staggering top speed of 210+ mph on the infamous Mulsanne Straight.
