Formula One 1969 season

Scalextric is about to release a whole fleet of beautiful Formula One racers from the 1969 season. So beautiful I think they deserve a grid of their own:



My plan is to buy as many as Scalextric and other companies will release from the season and then fill in the gaps with whatever resin and fibreglass shells will be available.

My challenge is what race to decide on?

This is so far my research has brought me by now:

Scalextric C3544A McLaren M7C #4 – Bruce McLaren, Monaco GP
Scalextric C3545A McLaren M7C #10 – Bruce McLaren, German GP
Scalectric C3589A McLaren M7C #6 - ?, race ?
Scalextric C3588A Brabham BT26A # 11 – Jacky Ickx, French GP
Scalectric C3589A Brabham BT26A #8 – Jack Brabham, race ?
Scalextric C3656A Lotus 49B #9 – Graham Hill, race ?
SCX 62050 McLaren M9A #20 – Derek Bell, British GP

Not an easy task to combine those into one single race. What would you suggest? I know I will have to change race numbers on most of the cars, not to mention add and/or remove front and rear wings.

The British GP would be tempting because of the 4WD cars included, but that would mean 16 cars in total, where for example the French GP only included 13 cars.

Cheers, Holger
