CA23c, FIA GT Donington Park 1998

It seems Slot.it are on a roll at the moment with their releases, next cab of the rank is the ever popular Porsche 911 GT1 EVO 98 in the FIA GT Donington Park 1998 livery.  Personally I love the 911 GT1 EVO and have numerous of Slot.it and Fly version of the famous motorcar.  The green and red livery combined with the gold wheels makes the Donington livery look fantastic and unique.  Counting the Le Mans Winners boxed release, this is the 4th 911 GT1 released by Slot.it. 


From Slot.it: 'The 911 GT1 EVO 98 was designed by Porsche to compete in the GT1 category in 1998, at the Le Mans 24 Hours and in the FIA GT International Championship. In the beginning, the GT1 class was based on GT (Grand Touring) cars prepared for racing, but eventually they became racing prototypes.

The '98 car was a brand new model from Porsche. This was the first car built by Porsche with a carbon composite monocoque chassis. It came with front and rear double wishbone suspensions with pushrod, 18” wheels, carbon brake discs.

Engine was a six-cylinder, flat, 3.2 litres twin turbo, 4 valves per cylinder, water-cooled, unit, with maximum torque of 630 Nm at 5000 rpm and maximum power of 550 hp at 7200 rpm. Gearbox was six-speed sequential with triple disc carbon fibre clutch. Fuel tank capacity 100 litre.

In 1998, the FIA GT championship was dominated by Mercedes, but Porsche was able to win the Le Mans 24 Hours. A.Hahne and A.Scheld ran car number 5 In the FIA GT race at Donington Park, UK.'

1,000km Nürburgring winner, 2008 Le Mans Series

Black Arrow's Aston Martin DBR9 speaks for itself in terms of model accuracy, build quality, engineering and on-track performance.  The latest livery to be (3rd release) released by Black Arrow is the Team Modena liveried car that won the 1,000km Nürburgring race in the 2008 LeMans Series.  The Team Modena livery is very unique with its bright red wheels and dark paint scheme making it stand out from the pack.

I'm lucky enough to also own the Black Arrow 009 Gulf release and thought that one of these great runners would be enough for my collection, but when Black Arrow releases such impressive liveries, how can it be?
