Excited to see the Viper, but am disappointed that it's the GTE Am one and not one of the factory GTLM Vipers that raced in the United States. I'll definitely be getting the GTE class winning Corvette and one of the LMP1 Porsches (most likely the winning car).

Anyone know what the significance of the March CG901? It seems like a strange choice.

 

[CreepyVanMan]

LEEEWWWIIIIISSSSS hahah I like the championship models.

It's a Leyton House so it has a great livery and is an earlier Newey car. With it's packaging it's basically a forerunner of the fw14.

2016 Release Announcements from DiecastSociety:

Aston Martin V8 Vantage n.97 LMGTE PRO D. Turner - S. Mucke - R. Bell

Yo!!!! The hypnotic bar tones Aston Martin! I only grabbed the Dumbreck Art Car not too long ago too!

 

[harms]

Are those all in 1:18 scale?

 

[spikyone]

Are those all in 1:18 scale?

Yes, all 1:18.

Interesting to see there's no Toyota LMP1 on that list. I know AutoArt are planning that, but I thought AUTOart were also producing the Nissan so it would be surprising if it's an exclusive licence. Not that I'll be buying either as I'll be snapping up the trio of 919s

(edit - wtf? When I type A A it turns it into AUTOart?!)

Wow I can get the 98 car to go with my front wing, shame no 99 on the list though

 

[Stu72]

I'll be picking up a large number of the 2015 Le Mans racers.

 

[Craig]

I'll be getting the 2015 Le Mans winner for sure. I'm really happy that it won it this year

 

[AMD]

I'll be picking up a large number of the 2015 Le Mans racers.

My list so far would be the 2 astons and the Taylor c7r

 

[Stu72]

Andy,no surprises you're picking up the Astons

Ohh and are you going to the 2016 opening round of the WEC at Silvertone in April?

It's on the list mate, are you planning on going?

 

[Markus]

Hope they do the #17 porsche 919 in white as well as Le Mans livery

They only ever tend to do the Le Mans liveries

yep, work permitting matey. If you're going we'll have to sort a meet up nearer the time

back on topic

Wonder if we'll see the 2014 Corvette, or if Spark will hold off releasing it for the 2015 car. Would have expected Spark to have released the 2014 car by now.

Take the Monday off to and I'll arrange a trip to Newport pagnell!

Re the c7r I would have thought the same too.

 

[Dazza_22]

Does anyone know if Spark is still planning on releasing the race version of the Lotus XI? Spark had it listed as a 2015 release.
