With all hobbies, sometimes real life gets in the way. This time for me, it was display space. I was running out of space so I needed new cabinets. But sometimes things get complicated…

REVIEW – 1951 Renault 4CV 1063 #50
1951 Renault 4CV 1063 Pilots: F. Landon, A. Briat Team: RNU Renault Race: 24th GC (1st S 0.7 class) at Le Mans in 1951 Spark - S5210 (resin)

And Toyota does it again!
Car #8 crossed the finish line in 1st, giving Toyota its second overall win. Not that there was much doubt about who would win, but there still was quite a lot of drama in the last hour of the race, between Toyota’s #7 and #8. All because the pit crew changed the WRONG TIRE on (at the time) leading #7. But that folks, is why Le Mans is so awesome 🙂
All in all, a TERRIFIC race, specially because of the battles between GTE-Pro cars (and Am too).
24 Heures du Mans 2019
It’s about to kick off in about an hour and a half! So, will it be another win for Toyota? Their cars are starting on pole. I’m just disappointed that they won’t have any competition from the other big dogs, so unless they have some really bad luck, cars #7 or #8 will finish in first. So I’m secretly routing for the underdogs. What I think will be the best fight to watch will be GTE-Pro and Am. Some beautiful cars this year (and a few boring ones too), and if we get good fights, this could be an awesome race.

Porsche 959 – Jay Leno’s Garage
It’s no secret that I’m a BIG fan of the 959. Come on, Mercury would drive one… So I was happy to stumble upon this episode of Jay Leno’s Garage. It’s 29 minutes of pour entertainment with the God Car.
REVIEW – 1972 Chevrolet Corvette (C3) #72

The new ELECTRIC King of the Nordschleife
Today VWs’ ID R did a full lap at Nürburgring in 6:05,336. That’s only slower than Porsche’s 919 Evo ( 5:19,546) and even faster than Stephan Bellof’s 1983 record.
That means I definitively need the ID R in the W-143 Garage… 🙂
