As most of you are aware, supply chain and other delays continue throughout the economy. Although accurate release dates for import items are essentially non-existent, we do our best to keep you up to date. Last week, I mentioned that we would be adding models and other items that are ‘in harbor’ to the Coming Soon page at MotorsportCollector.com. We’ve just added 30+ items that are expected to land here at TMC this month. Many more are pre-sold out.

As I mentioned in this week’s Email Update, we are working hard to provide information on incoming shipments that have been delayed by supply chain issues that are effecting almost everything currently. When we receive an update of any kind, we will post that information in our Coming Soon section.

It looks like a large shipment of models that has been sitting in LA harbor for a month or two has finally been unloaded and should arrive here later this month.

The Scuderia scored a strong 1-2 finish in the opening race of the 2022 Formula 1 season in Bahrain. Charles Leclerc scored Pole Position and dominated the race after several failed challenges from Max Verstappen. Carlos Sainz, Jr ran a solid third for most of the race and was elevated to the second step of the Podium after the Red Bulls of Verstappen and Perez suffered mechanical failures in the closing stages of the race.

It was the first Ferrari 1-2 since 2019.
