Going back to the first post; Le Mans Miniatures are the only manufacturer I know of who are going to make the Audi R18 TDI.

According to MRE, the test car is due in November.

Cheers,

Wow

, I really hope that is not the case as LMM cars are

expensive....hope Carrera or Scaley at least CONSIDERS making R18's....they'd be mad NOT to....

That is unfortunately true...

While there are techinically (3) different liveries from this years race, to a slot car company looking for mass production, they are all three gray cars.

I would like to see them from Scaley or Carrera (my preference since I run D132) or SCX- but I do not expect it.

Scaley is doing the Lola Aston LMP car....same livery....different numbers.....slightly different advertisements....but still the same Gulf livery, can't see why "lack of decorations" should be a problem.

....and I asked Patto's a few weeks ago if he will consider making a sheet with just the Le Mans badges, say from 2005 to current and he did not seem to be interested....

I've seen a few people on the forum mentioning the " Le Mans " issue with the Scaley cars, so I thought that would be a good idea...just shows you my

business acumen.
