The Spark factories are keeping their proverbial right feet flat to the bulkhead and bringing us some really great models. In this week's shipment there was a predominantly Macau GT, Formula 3 & Touring Car flavour and the same, the same also said for Japanese Super Formula & Super GT race themes. But it was not exclusively so with a sprinkling of Formula 1 2023 McLaren MCL60, Le Mans 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago & 2024 2nd placed Toyota #7 plus 2024 George Russell, Oscar Piastri & Valtteri Bottas helmets. Our favourite of the group is without doubt its model of Jim Clark's British Grand Prix winning Lotus 49.

Future Production listings, Sale Department and our Rarities Department too.
The 2024 Formula 1 & Formula 2 seasons wrapped up last weekend, Lando Norris's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix race win sealing the constructors championship for the hard working men and women at McLaren. Gabriel Bortoleto should be congratulated for holding his nerve to take the F2 title while Isack Hadjar's hopes went away with a stall on the grid in the Feature Race, a shame as it was game on right up to that moment. As expected, Abbi Pulling became F1 Academy champion for the second time in one year so making a small moment in history! The last round of the Japanese Super GT championship went Tom's Toyota's way both for the Suzuka race win and the title too. Lastly, we had not realised that it was the first round of the, er... 2025 Formula E championship in Brazil. Mitch Evans made his won history with the first race win in the new Gen3 Evo cars (now with on demand four wheel drive) but more so for his drive from last to do so for the Jaguar team. Good man!
International motor sport continues this weekend with just one big event for endurance racing officianados, the Gulf 12hrs around Yas Marina. We wish good luck to our client Dragon Racing 88 in fielding its two Ferrari 296 GT3s.
