This time, there are two new models from the D1:32 range. The two new Audi R8 LMS in green and blue are visually impressive and are easily visible and distinguishable on the track.
The "blue Audi" has a large FELBERMAYER logo emblazoned on the side... Tell us something... yes, the expensive, light blue Porsche 911 from the first 124 Porsche 911 series, but who or what is Felbermayer, and what does the "Car Collection" logo/model name refer to... only for hardcore Carrera collectors?

The Austrians Horst Sr. and Horst Jr. Felbermayer are active in international racing, both as sponsors (Felbermayer Holding, an international construction and transport company), and as active drivers.

Car dealer Peter Schmidt initially owned the company "Schmidt Automobile," which was later restructured into "CC Car Collection Autohandels GmbH." This led to his involvement in racing in the VLN Endurance Championship, Black Pain Endurances, and International 24-hour Series.
"CarCollection" competes in races itself, but also offers support and service for customer teams... a Felbermayer GT3 Audi R8 LMS can be purchased here for just under 375,000 euros.

Yaco-Racing has been in existence for 16 years and has entered vehicles in more than 400 races. In 2001, Uwe Geipel, former East German Rally Champion and Wartburg factory driver, founded the family racing team YACO. Successful members of the YACO-Racing team include his sons Philip and Charlie, as well as well-known names such as Markus Winkelhock and Christian Mamerow in recent years.
Philip Geipel and former DTM driver Rahel Frey drive the current Audi R8 in the GT3 series.

The vehicle models feature flawless printing and fit. While the somewhat heavy weight is noticeable in the performance, the vehicles are light and safe to drive.
There's relatively little room in the chassis for trim weights. The axles rotate slightly, but a drop of oil still won't hurt.
All in all, two visually appealing and competitive vehicles for the 1:32 GT series.


Until then
