LIMITED EDITION 499 PIECES WITH DISPLAY COVER

FUTURE RELEASE – RESERVE NOW!

Le Mans 11th June 2023
Ferrari won the Centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the 499P driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, who shared the number 51 car with James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi, covering 342 laps of the French track. The Maranello manufacturer claimed an historic result on its return to the top class after half a century, with the Ferrari – AF Corse team triumphing in the world’s most famous endurance race.

At the chequered flag Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen finished fifth in the 499P number 50, delayed during the night by repairs that knocked the crew out of contention for the podium, despite an excellent performance that saw them climb several places back up the standings.

The Ferrari 499Ps started from the top two positions on the grid with Hypercar numbers 50 and 51, respectively, thanks to the times posted during the Hyperpole when Fuoco took pole. 

This was the Prancing Horse’s tenth overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to go with those collected in 1949, 1954, 1958, and 1960-1965. Ferrari’s history at Le Mans now comprises 39 victories, including 29 class wins.

With this result in round four of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship, Ferrari remains second in the Manufacturers’ standings, narrowing the gap to Toyota to 19 points.

The models will be sold with dedicated bases with finish line and includes a plexiglass display case in scale 1/18.

Reserve HERE.

Overnight we received information from Tecnomodel that they will produce 4 versions of the Lola T90 Indy Car in 1/18 scale, including the three cars entered by John Mecom, Jr. in the 1966 Indianapolis 500. 

Graham Hill led the final 10 laps in the #24 Red Ball Express to become the first Rookie to win the Indianapolis 500 in 39 years after teammate Jackie Stewart dropped out while leading the race. The third Mecom entry was driven by 2 time winner Rodger Ward in his final Indianapolis 500 appearance. Ward finished 15th in car #26.

Both Hill and Stewart’s cars were powered by the Ford DOHC V8 Indy engine. Rodger Ward’s car was fitted with a supercharged Offenhauser. 

The ‘Press Version’ of Tecnomodel’s Lola T90 will feature the Ford engine.

Unfortunately, we have a very short deadline for this set. 

Please reserve by this Friday, July 14. We will probably reserve a few extra pieces but our allotment will probably be spoken for before the shipment arrives. Click HERE for ordering information.
