The Slotcar
White and purple bodywork distinguishes this Slot.it Jaguar XJR-6 #51 (article number SICA07D), the Silverstone-winning car from 1986. Derek Warwick and Eddie Cheever are named as the drivers of the original entry. The new 1:32 slot car uses an inline motor layout and is configured for analog running. Slot.It presentation packaging completes this neatly detailed racing model. Driven by legendary Formula 1 and endurance drivers Derek Warwick and Eddie Cheever, this Silk Cut Jaguar team took first place in the C1 class and the general classification at the time.

Features
Version: Beautiful white-purple Silk Cut color scheme (without tobacco advertising supplied, often including loose decals) with the characteristic jumping Jaguar logo.

Chassis & Motor: Equipped with a high-quality EVO6 chassis and powered by a powerful 21,500 RPM V12 short-can motor mounted in an inline engine mount.

Transmission: Standard with a 9-tooth brass pinion and a 28-tooth crown gear (crown gear).

Wheels: Excellent performance thanks to the precisely adjusted rear axle, equipped with large aluminium rear rims (16.5 mm) with inbus securing.

Digital Conversion: The chassis features cutouts making the car easy to convert for digital jobs such as Carrera Digital (via a Slot.it or FT Slottechnik decoder) and Scalextric Digital.

This model is a wanted collectible within the Group C series of Slot.it and is known for its excellent driving characteristics, right out of the box.

The Real Car
The real race car behind this model is the Jaguar XJR-6 (chassis #286). This legendary car wrote in May 1986 motorsport history by winning the Kouros 1000 km from Silverstone. It was a monumental victory: it broke the four-year absolute dominance of Porsche (with the legendary 956/962) in the World Sportscar Championship and marked Jaguar's first official factory victory in the sports cars since 1957.

The story behind the real race car:
Design and Engineering

The Designer: The XJR-6 was signed by famed Formula One designer Tony Southgate on behalf of Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR).

Chassis: The car was revolutionary because it was entirely made up of an ultra-rigid carbon-fibre and Kevlar monocoque. Southgate applied advanced ground-effect aerodynamics with massive venturi tunnels under the car to reach legendary cornering speeds.

The Engine: Unlike Porsche's turbo engines, Jaguar opted for an atmospheric (without turbo) 6.2-liter V12 engine. This giant block produced some 660 horsepower and produced one of the most iconic, roaring soundtracks in Group C history. The engine used a then-modern Zytek electronic fuel injection system to meet the Group C's strict fuel restrictions.

The Historic Race (Silverstone, 1986)

The Riders: Car #51 was manned during the race by the Brit Derek Warwick and the American Eddie Cheever.
The Dominance: Although the reliability of the Jaguars was still a pain point at the time, everything was right at Silverstone during the weekend. The iconic white-purple-gold Silk Cut-livery raced with a lead of no less than two laps over the finish, ahead of the factory Porsche of Derek Bell and Hans-Joachim Stuck.

Meaning for Jaguar
The XJR-6 laid the foundation for Jaguar's later total success in endurance racing. The car was further developed before 1987 into the XJR-8 (which won the World Cup) and the XJR-9, with which Jaguar finally won the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988. Of the XJR-6, only six were built at the time.
