Piquet To Join Alonso…In The 1:18 Scale Range
Today Norev confirmed its 1:43 2008 Formula One Renault R28s. They will be replicating both drivers, Fernando Alonso (DC28405NV), and Nelson Piquet Jnr (DC28406NV).
The main difference between Norev’s and Minichamps’ offerings will be that the Norev cars will have the drivers’ names on the packaging, as opposed to ‘Car #5’ and ‘Car #6’ which Minichamps will use. Both versions will come with driver figures and have the drivers’ names on the cars though.
Norev also confirmed that they will now be releasing a 1:18 car for Piquet Jnr after all (DC2806), after originally saying that they would only be replicating Fernando Alonso in that scale.
IXO also announced the latest subject in its Le Mans Winners Collection; the 1927 Bentley Sport 3.0 Litre of Davis and Benjafield (LM1927).
Thank you to the diary readers who stopped by for a chat during the Goodwood Festival of Speed; it was nice meeting so many of you. And to the McLaren fans amongst you who suggested a collection for me to go to more Grands Prix and inflict my jinx on Raikkonen several more times; I reckon I might be up for that!
