Carrera Digital 124 Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM "AMG-Team Mücke - Lucas Auer"

Art.Nr. 23918 In

the DTM, the so-called Class 1 cars have been a thing of the past since this season. While these cars were fascinating and unique, that was ultimately their problem: expensive development efforts for just a single racing series simply don’t make economic sense. The compatibility and collaboration with the Japanese “Super GT” series—a goal pursued since 2012—never really materialized, apart from a few demonstration events toward the end of the 2019 season. Consequently, Mercedes and then Audi pulled out, and as of this season (2021), the DTM is racing with GT3 cars until further notice.
However, that doesn’t mean Carrera the existing formats can’t still be put to good use. During the 2016 season, Lucas Auer raced in a Mercedes fielded by the Mücke team, in which he even managed to secure a victory at the Lausitzring. His car stood out above all for its pink livery, designed in the style of his sponsor, BWT. In the past Carrera , 1:32-scale DTM models like this were extremely popular—presumably as gifts for wives, girlfriends, or daughters. Perhaps this success can now be replicated on a larger 1:24 scale. This model is definitely a standout splash of color in the DTM starting grid—regardless of who’s behind the wheel.
