1/18 Chaparral 2D from Replicarz Exclusives

Good news from Replicarz Exclusives! They are moving forward with their long awaited 1966 Nurburgring 1000km winning Chaparral 2D in 1/18 scale.

The Chaparral 2D famously won the 1966 ADAC 1000 km Nürburgring on June 5, 1966. Piloted by Phil Hill and Jo Bonnier, this revolutionary, closed-cockpit American race car outlasted heavy European competition, overcoming notoriously slow pit stops to capture a historic World Sportscar Championship victory.

The model will be priced at $299.99 and hopefully will be available in late 2026. A very limited run is planned so advance reservations are essential.

Derek Daly: Serial Survivor

by Derek Daly

Foreword by Maurice Hamilton

AVAILABLE EARLY JULY.

A blend of entertaining storytelling, brutal honesty and high drama, Irish racing driver Derek Daly’s memoir is a page-turner. His meteoric rise from a modest background in Dublin to the heights of Formula 1 is a story of relentless determination and unbridled talent, but when he reached motor racing’s pinnacle — ultimately with the top-notch Williams team in 1982 — his success story started to unravel, partly because of numerous and sometimes horrifyingly spectacular crashes often caused by car breakages. He made a clean break and went to America, where he raced Indycars and sports cars before metamorphosing into a hugely popular TV commentator, interviewer and pundit. Now, in his own words, he has put the entire rollercoaster of his life into a spellbinding autobiography that all racing fans will love.
