An Old Favorite

The Audi R8 LMS in 1:124 scale is an old favorite on the Carrera racetrack, The first large-scale R8 appeared in the lineup in 2012, though the 1:32-scale version has been available for quite some time.
I don’t need to say much more about the handling of this year’s color variant of the Audi—just check out the test reports from recent years. The build quality and, above all, the true-to-life decals on the Audi leave nothing to be desired.

The current item number 23826 is the 2015 race car from the YACO Racing team based in the Vogtland region. The motorsports team was founded in 2001 by rally driver Uwe Geipel.

In 2006, YACO made its debut in the ADAC Procar racing series; since 2012, they have been competing in the ADAC GT Masters series, and since 2013, YACO has been racing an Audi R8:

If you take a closer look at the car, you’ll notice that Rahel Frey is listed as the second driver alongside Philip Geipel. The attractive blonde has been driving for the Plauen-based racing team since 2014; previously, the Swiss driver competed in the DTM.
