Autograph Series BMW E30 M3 – Steve Soper – Special Edition
We are delighted to present our brand new Scalextric Autograph Series; a special edition collection of solo cars with insert cards signed by their real-life drivers! “As a kid I grew up with Scalextric, I never had train sets, it was all Scalextric racing all the time! The sets got bigger and bigger and longer and longer! My father was very keen and would race with me all the time and the circuits got more and more evolutions and were 25-30ft long, taking over the whole living room!” – Steve Soper.
The BMW M3 dominated the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) in the late eighties and early nineties, but Steve Soper was not able to contain Andy Rouse and his Toyota Carina in rounds eight and nine at Donington Park in 1991. While Soper was able to claim second place in the first race, he was forced to retire in the second. Despite never becoming a BTCC champion, Steve Soper was hugely successful in motorsport, earning the nickname ‘Soperman’ from his fans.
