60010 Mitsubishi Lancer "Ancap"
Here are some additional views of the SCX Mitsubishi Lancer "Ancap".
This car has a sprung guide and uses metal rails, not wires to get the power to the motor. It also has the guide blade where both ends of the braid are touching the track rails. I got this slotcar for £13.95.
Out of the box this car performed badly as the 'traction' magnet was too strong. The fact it is four wheel drive is probably why the car never actually gets stuck, but it is slow on the straights and the only way to 'crash' is to go full throttle around the hairpin.

Update
Then I found that the magnet could be pushed up, from below, passed the motor (without damaging the chassis etc). Now the car runs very well.
