Leigh’s Diecast Diary

It’s signed news today, as we received the AUTOart 1:18 replica of the Aston Martin DBR9 that won the GT1 class in the 2007 Le Mans 24 Hours (AA80706S). Jason got Darren Turner’s and David Brabham’s signatures last week, and then Rickard Rydell’s at Brands Hatch over the weekend at the WTCC meeting.

Just to keep you in the loop, Turner and Brabham also signed the AUTOart/Prodrive 1:18 2008 Gulf showcar for us too, which also won its class at Le Mans this year of course (AA80800S), so that one’s now two thirds completed. It will be finished in September when Antonio Garcia comes over for the European Le Mans Series race at Silverstone, and we will finish the job there.

Welcome to the thirty ninth Leigh’s Diary Vidcast, reviewing all the new diecast replicas that were released last week.
