Ascari Cars

 

The Ascari Cars Company is a British car producer located in Banbury, United Kingdom. It was founded by Klaas Zwart, a Dutch millionaire. The corporation was labelled after Alberto Ascari, who was the very 1st double world Formula One champ. Aside from producing automobiles, Ascari runs a racetrack as well, and it is called Race Resort Ascari.

 

The Ascari Cars was launched in the year 1995 in Dorset, England. The Ascari Ecosse is their first limited edition car established in the year 1998. Subsequent to the launch of the Ascari Ecosse, Klaas wart bought the corporation.

 

Who among us wouldn't love to race an Ascari around a track? Unfortunately, few can afford the astronomical price tag involved in buying one of their wonderful examples or even a trip to the mouthwatering Ascari Race Resort. To help out those of us on smaller budgets, Ascari has teamed up with toy car company NINCO to give us the Ascari slot car set.

 

The luxury Ascari Race Resort is nestled in the heart of southern Spain�s Andalusian Mountains (about an hour�s drive from the pomp and extravagance of Puerta Banus). Thanks to its geographical seclusion and protection from prying paparazzi, this is somewhere where the world�s wealthiest car enthusiasts and celebrities mingle and drive 360 days of the year.
