C3862 (#8 Rob Collard): A variant of the BMW 125 Series 1 BTCC controlled by teammate Rob Collard with GardX sponsorship.

Lighting: Standard equipped with working lighting.
Digital/Analogue: Suitable for both analog tracks and easy to upgrade to digital driving via an in-car chip.
The Real Car
The real model behind the Scalextric slot car is the BMW 125i M Sport (F21) which was deployed in 2015 in the prestigious British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Where the normal street car is already a sporty hatchback, this racing version was completely converted by the top team West Surrey Racing (WSR) according to the strict Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC) regulations.
Sam Tordoff’s real car differs from a standard BMW 125i at crucial points:
BTCC Racing Model (Team JCT600 with GardX)
The Engine: Instead of the standard engine, the team used a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine specially prepared for the BTCC (built by TOCA or based on a BMW block), which delivered more than 350+ hp.
Drive: The car retained its distinctive rear-wheel drive (RWD), which was unique in the BTCC field that consisted largely of front-wheel-drive (FWD) cars at the time. This gave the BMW a great advantage at the start and on winding circuits.
Gearbox: A sequential Xtrac six-speed gearbox with shift flippers on the steering wheel.
Performance in 2015: Driver Sam Tordoff achieved two spectacular victories in the 2015 season (at Oulton Park and Croft Circuit) with this car (#7) and finished 6th in the championship.
In comparison: The Street Version (F20/F21 LCI)
The BMW 125i M Sport that you could buy at the dealership at the time had the following specifications:
Engine: 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder petrol engine (N20 block).
Power: 218 hp and 310 Nm of torque.
Performance: 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 to 6.4 seconds with a top speed of 245 km/h.
Layout: It was the last generation of the 1-series with rear-wheel drive and a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, which made for a fantastic sporty road behaviour
