Added the Action Astra V8 last week to go with my UT Calibra V6 (bought a few years ago off Craigslist). Cool looking models...the Astra is a better model, but I prefer the styling of the Calibra.

The engine of Astra is just in front of the driver? it's so close?
That's very typical of these DTM cars. They are really only a silhouette of the roadgoing versions. The engine is mounted a long way back, and the drivers seat is also pushed back. The driver ends up sitting somewhere between where the front and rear seats would usually be. I always think it must make visibility difficult.
