Item No.: 20023840 The
blue-and-white Audi from FITZGERALD RACING is now the tenth R8 LMS that CARRERA has brought to the racetrack in 1:24 scale. If you take a look at the 10 race cars in the vehicle database, the variety of colors really stands out. Or as they say: a well-balanced starting grid… The
Australian racing team’s new R8 is no exception. In my opinion, it ranks among the three most beautiful Audis, alongside the BILSTEIN and the RED BULL.

Fitzgerald is an Australian racing team founded in 1994 by Peter Fitzgerald. Peter has been racing Porsches since 1979 and is one of Australia’s most successful drivers. He founded his racing team at the suggestion of the then-chairman of PORSCHE AUSTRALIA. The company competes successfully in various racing series and specializes in tuning Porsches—from standard sports cars to the GT3 Cup. Through its subsidiary EVOLVE-Technik, the company earns revenue by tuning all kinds of production vehicles, which explains the EVOLVE logo on the side of the Audi.

Another striking feature of the Audi R8 is the very large LIQUI MOLY sponsor sticker on the windshield. And anyone who Googles “BATHURST”—the 12-hour race in which the Audi competed in this livery—will also come across LIQUI MOLY. The company is currently the sponsor of this legendary race:

LIQUI MOLY, the oil and additive manufacturer based in Ulm, Swabia, has become known to a wider audience in Germany primarily through its CEO and owner, Ernst Probst. The company has long been involved in motorsports (in Germany, for example, it is the main sponsor of the ENGSTLER racing team in the WTCC), but it also supports recreational sports.
Since 2015, FITZGERALD RACING has also been part of the so-called LIQUI MOLY family. A very informative interview with Peter Fitzgerald on this topic can be found at the following link:
