Formula 1 1959 at Reims-Gueux with Wrenn Formula 152 – Spirit of the Past
Building a slot car track that tries to replicate the spirit of a long-gone time the internet provides the necessary information. Surprisingly one can find new images of the track even after many years of scrolling the pages and pictures over and over.

A long time ago someone posted a h0 Formula 1 car from the early sixties. The car in question was a Wrenn Formula 152 Ferrari. It proved to be a rare brand. Gradually more information was retrieved. Occasionally a Car was offered but turned out to be to costly. Spontaneously searching the web for new offers, I lost faith in finding an appropriate offer. There was also no reliable information on the actual size of the cars. Eventually three cars were bought last year. The bodysize is on the larger end of h0 cars, close to Faller F1.

When they were placed on the Track, right in front of the pits, they were a perfect match. Right around that time pictures of the Formula 1 race at Reims-Gueux popped up during researching images of the track. The pictures proved that planning the track paid off. The pictures of the Wrenn cars taken on a rare occasion when the sun lit the track matched the pictures taken in 1959.

That was more than you can hope for, at least when your passion belongs to modelling and replicating the past in smaller scale.
