Norma M20 1st Pikes Peak 2016 by Spark
Pikes Peak has been a regular event for Roman Dumas for several years and as with much of his racing, he was sponsored by Spark. His Norma M20 was based on the regular hill climb version of this car, which has enjoyed great success in Europe. For the American event the car was much changed under the skin with four-wheel drive and a turbocharged HPD engine. The external details are our main concern here and they are dominated by that huge rear wing, made up of multiple very fine mouldings and mounted on a complex etched frame. There’s plenty more fine etched aero on the front and in the middle the cockpit is covered by a huge roll cage. It’s a brutal looking machine and made even more unusual by the original F3-sized tyres tucked away under the wheel-arches.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
