SRC takes care of its products by providing much more than just a slot car. To aesthetics, design, performance, and quality materials, we now want to add something intangible: Knowledge and Training.
At SRC, we've come up with the idea of organizing online rallyslot courses. To achieve this, we're working with Miquel Gubianas of MásRallyslot, who has prepared the materials and will be teaching the course.
Known as Gubi in the slot world (those who call him Miquel can be counted on the fingers of one hand), Sabadell native Miquel Gubianas was able to experience and participate in the rise of rallyslot from its inception in the early 90s, competing at the highest level for 22 seasons from 1989 to 2010 and remaining active at the domestic level to this day.
Gubi defines himself as a scale extrès artist, and his CV could easily be headed by any of the following: driver, engineer, journalist, advisor, organizer, theorist, preparer, or designer... His numbers could be dizzying in terms of participations or victories, magazine articles or newspaper pieces, or cars built—more than 400, he says he has listed. He keeps almost all the cars he competed with in working order, in a unique private collection that allows us to see the evolution of rallyslot during its two golden decades.
Throughout his career as a slot car designer, he has collaborated with numerous brands and organizations, whether as an external analyst or consultant, as a freelance contributor, or as an active part of various projects. He has always strived to maintain his commitment to performance and quality, striving to convey that beyond aesthetics, slot cars are racing cars and must perform as such.
This is where the wills of SRC come together. From a long-ago article in issue 169 of Mas Slot (July 2015, where it discussed our 205 Gauloises) to its recent work on its Instagram channel @masrallyslot, Gubi always highly values cars of any brand that meet certain performance requirements. About our Delta S4 says without hesitation, “It is the rally car that has ever given me the greatest feeling of security.”
At SRC, we strive to ensure ours are just like this, to meet these performance requirements. In both the design and all of our materials, we strive for the performance that underlies our sought-after aesthetics, so we've contacted Miquel Gubianas to join our team as a collaborator.
