About Scalextric C3656A Legends Lotus 49 Graham Hill Slot
The 1968 Monaco Grand Prix was held on May 26. It was the third round of the Formula One season. The race was won by Lotus driver Graham Hill, who started from pole position. At the start Servoz-Gavin took the lead but after three laps he suffered a driveshaft failure and crashed. This left Hill in the lead and there he stayed for the rest of the afternoon. The first few laps saw a number of accident with Oliver and McLaren colliding on the first lap, Jochen Rindt (Brabham) crashing on lap nine while trying to pass Surtees. Brabham, Dan Gurney and Siffert all went out with mechanical trouble while Beltoise broke his suspension running over a curb and Piers Courage (Reg Parnell Racing BRM) stopped because his car was handling so badly. Surtees then disappeared with a gearbox failure and on the same lap Rodriguez crashed and so only five cars were left by the end of lap 16. As a result the excitement was limited although third placed Hulme stopped in the mid-race to have a driveshaft replaced and dropped to fifth, leaving Bianchi to finish third behind Hill and Attwood with Lodovico Scarfiotti fourth in the second Cooper-BRM. C3656A requires a C7005 DPR decoder fitted for conversion to ‘Scalextric Digital' or ‘Scalextric Digital ARC PRO' systems. Decoder is NOT included.
