Every week I put a random model from my collection in the spotlight, this week:
The Dallara P217 from Le Mans 2018 which can be found in Collection #029 Racing for Holland / Racing Team Nederland
2018 Le Mans 24h, Dallara P217 – Gibson. The 2018 Le Mans 24-hour race was part of a “super season” which started in April 2018 and lasted until after Le Mans 2019. Rubens Barrichello was replaced by former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde. Racing Team Nederland finished 6th in LMP2. After the race, Jan would step down as active driver. He started 24 times in Le Mans, winning it once in 1988. Jan was replaced by Nyck de Vries for the remaining races of the super season.

1991 DTM Championship, Opel Omega 3000 evo 500. The German Touring Car Championship (DTM) reached one of its highlights in 1990 and 1991. BMW and Mercedes battled for years and were joined by Audi V8 Quattro last year. Stuck won the title in 1990 and in 1991 Biela took the championship in the mighty Audi.
