Carrera DIGITAL 132 BMW M3 DTM "A.Farfus, No.7", 2013
Item No. 20030673
Available from: Week 32/33
Augusto Farfus became known to a wider public at the latest since his entry into the ETCC and WTCC in 2004 and 2005. Initially competing for the Alfa Romeo team, he occasionally attracted attention with his impetuous driving style. In 2007, he switched to BMW and has remained loyal to the brand ever since. His WTCC appearances, during which his racing car was covered with an oversized "Gustl" logo – the nickname affectionately bestowed upon him by his Bavarian pit crew – are unforgettable.
Consequently, he participated in BMW's return to the DTM in 2012, clinching victory in the series, which was still new to him, at the end of his first season. He maintained his good form in the 2013 season, finishing as runner-up.
Carrera chose this exact vehicle as the model for this model. It was a good choice, because alongside the already familiar white and black versions, the green-blue version adds a splash of color. There's no danger of confusion with the DTM models from Audi and Mercedes either.
There are no surprises in terms of handling; the DTM cars are among the best in the Carrera range. The BMW sits firmly on the track, remains docile in the corners, and still produces fast lap times.
Conclusion: another good addition to the DTM program, which now includes 9 vehicles.
