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 racing cars in the vehicle database, you will be struck by the variety of colors. Or as the saying goes: a balanced starting field...
The new R8 from the Australian racing team is no exception. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful 3 Audi alongside the BILSTEIN and the RED BULL.

Fitzgerald is an Australian racing team founded in 1994 by Peter Fitzgerald. Peter has been racing with Porsche 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, specializes in tuning Porsches from normal sports cars to the GT3 Cup, and with the company offshoot EVOLVE-Technik, the company earns money by tuning all kinds of production vehicles, hence the EVOLVE lettering 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 if you google BATHURST, the 12-hour race in which the Audi ran in this livery, you will also come across LIQUI MOLY. The company is currently also the sponsor of the legendary race:

LIQUI MOLY, the oil and additive manufacturer from the Swabian town of Ulm, has become known to a wider circle of people in Germany primarily through its managing director and owner Ernst Probst. The company has been involved in motorsport for a long time (in Germany, for example, it is the main sponsor of the ENGSTLER racing team from the WTCC), but also promotes popular sports.
FITZGERALD RACING has also been part of the LIQUI MOLY family since 2015. A very informative interview with Peter Fitzgerald on the subject can be found at the following link:
