Review by CoMod JoergW of the Carrera DIGITAL 132 Ferrari 599XX Nürburgring 201, No. 97 and Ferrari 599XX Paul Ricard 2010, No. 20 (30563/30564)
Unfortunately, I can't really tell you anything new about the vehicle. First presentation and the The addition to the 1:24 model is probably too detailed.
The yellow version looks quite tame, no more, but also no less, than a typical Ferrari in 'soft racing trim.' The yellow is, of course, easy to see on the track, especially in combination with the bright lights.
The gray , or better, the matte anthracite, almost carbon-colored Ferrari, on the other hand, looks more impressive. Sure, it's almost camouflaged on the track, but it looks mean… really mean and fast. I like the lighting on the dark version a bit better than on the yellow Ferrari.
The decals and printing are clean and very detailed. I particularly like the horses on the rear and in the radiator grille: not stickers, but rather a raised embossing. That's not a given at this scale.
Otherwise, both models are well-made. The tires sit well on the rims, but the edges could use some sanding. The axles and rims don't pose any problems on either model, and the handling is familiar.
Conclusion: nice variety in the driver field and near-production GT vehicles can be combined well with other vehicle types, just like in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring!
