Carrera DIGITAL 124 Porsche GT3 RSR "Manthey Racing, No. 18", 24h Nürburgring 2011 (Item No. 23794)
...here it is at last, the Porsche GT3 RSR “Manthey Racing, 24-h-Nürburgring 2011”!
The 1:32 version has been on the market for a long time, so many VLN fans were waiting under
Carrera's fans are looking forward to the Manthey Porsche in the exclusive 1:24 scale. The selected model competed in the 24-hour race in 2011. Last year, things hadn't gone quite as well for the winning Manthey team... hence the starting number 18.
But in 2011, after 24 tough hours of racing, there was another victory. ... just by the way
mentioned, the third place was taken by the Audi R8 LMS, also published by Carrera, in the
yellow-blue Bilstein dress.
The handling is well-known ... I like the 911 Porsche, especially when the tires are cleanly ground and the edges are beveled. The Porsche also runs very well on Orthmann tires, if you want it to. Personally, I prefer more drifting and stick with the Carrera tires. I almost always drive the 1:24 scale cars without magnets; due to the relatively high overall weight, the use of trim lead is rarely necessary. Just get out of the pit, grind the tires, remove the magnets... ready for fun.
Now to the optics:
The paint is top-notch. I haven't seen the car in person, but the colors and decals are very consistent compared to the original photos. The driver's seat, interior, and hardware are flawless—as has become standard these days with Carrera. The front tires spin for a long time and track smoothly. The rear and front axles are well centered and have little play, just right.
If I were a model builder, I would give the vehicle a subtle dirt look,
just like after a long-distance race ;-)
… oh yes … next I want the Haribo Porsche ;-)
Best regards,
