Carrera Digital 124 Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM "AMG-Team Mücke - Lucas Auer"
Item No. 23918
In the DTM, the so-called Class 1 cars have been history since this season. While these vehicles were fascinating and unique, that was ultimately their problem: expensive development for a single racing series doesn't make economic sense. The compatibility and collaboration with the Japanese "Super GT" series, which had been sought since 2012, never really materialized, apart from a few demo events at the end of the 2019 season. Consequently, first Mercedes and then Audi pulled the plug, and since this season (2021), the DTM has been racing with GT3 cars until further notice.
But that doesn't mean that Carrera can't make even more effective use of its existing models. In the 2016 season, Lucas Auer drove a Mercedes fielded by the Mücke team, even achieving a victory at the Lausitzring. His car was particularly striking due to its pink color scheme, in the style of sponsor BWT. In the past, corresponding 1:32 Carrera DTM models were extremely popular, presumably as vehicles for the wife/girlfriend/daughter. Perhaps these successes can now be repeated in the larger 1:24 scale. The model is certainly an outstanding splash of color in the DTM starting field – regardless of who operates the controller.
