2020 Rolex 24 at Daytona in 1/18 & 1/43

Corvette C8.R Rolex 24 At Daytona

TopSpeed and TSM Model continue their commitment to produce quality replicas of the top competitors in the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship with a lineup of 1/18 and 1/43 scale resin models from the 2020 Rolex 24 at Daytona.

TSM Model has also announced 1/43 scale models of the 2019 IMSA Road America winning #55 Mazda RT-24P DPi and the BMW Team RLL BMW M8 GTLM #24 that finished 3rd in the 2018 Petit Le Mans. 

You can check out the latest TopSpeed 1/18 scale announcements HERE.

TSM Model’s 1/43 scale list is HERE.

The advance order deadline for dealers is March 13.

IMSA models from both lines have been quick sell-outs the past couple of years so we strongly advise that you reserve your selections asap.

Quite a bit of information was added to the  2020 Advance Orders section of MotorsportCollector.com  this past week, including Spark’s 1/43 scale Martini Offshore Boat (nearly a foot long!) seen above a LOT of 1/43 and 1/18 Ferraris, including BBR’s 1/18 scale diecast of Charles Leclerc’s first Formula 1 Pole  and GP winner at Spa last season.
