Carrera DIGITAL 124 Porsche GT3 RSR 'Haribo Racing'
Item No.: 20023809 | http://bit.ly/1HE0MIo
The saying comes from Slottus, when, after submitting the review for the new 911 GT3 HARIBO, I suggested that we also release the black Mercedes SLS and the golden Corvette.
The 911 GT3 RSR has been part of the Digital124 program since 2009, but the car is still far from being outdated in terms of driving technology.
Of course, the newer cars have better suspension technology. However, since the 911 GT3 RSR was and still is, in my opinion, one of the best cars Carrera has ever produced, the car still cuts a fine figure on the track today. And over the past six years, a few visual treats have also been released, with the most beautiful versions (apart from the red SCUDERIA ITALIA from 2010) appearing this year: the GULF and the HARIBO.
For many years, the drivers led by team boss Hans Guido Riegel have been competing in various racing series as brand ambassadors for the Bonn-based confectionery manufacturer.
In the early days, they competed in Porsche 911s, and in 2012, they even fielded two gold-colored Corvette Z06s in the VLN. In 2013 and 2014, the drivers, led by veteran Udo Alzen, were unfortunately not as successful after their successful years from 2010 to 2012, partly due to bad luck. In both 2013 and 2014, the team withdrew their car from one VLN race at the Nürburgring due to a defective fuel system in the pits. "We would have naturally hoped for a better end to the season," summarizes driver Mike Stursberg. "But it doesn't make sense to complete extensive training and test runs to gain fractions of a second, only to then have to accept time losses in the order of minutes because the fuel system technology at the Nürburgring is unreliable."
Since 2015, the team has been using a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3.
