All of this week's news of arrivals, re-stocks & sale items are detailed in the FSW Weekly #19/2024 PDF available here!

 

It has been just a three day week here at GPM HQ, having "stolen" an extra day after Monday's public holiday. While it does not look like a lot has arrived this week, the volume (particularly from Spark/Looksmart) was impressive. The Spark/Tiny collaboration has produced new 1:64 diecast Porsche releases, a boxed set of the Porsche 944 Turbo Cup 1987 #2 Shell & Tirol, the Shell car alone & Dauer-Porsche 962 3rd Le Mans 1994 #35 Shell. The main Spark delivery of 1:18, 1:43 & 1:64 models offers 2024 Formula E, 2023 Formula 1 Alfa Romeo Las Vegas, McLaren Monaco, Red Bull UK & Alpine, Le Mans Toyotas & Orecas (including the Tower car with pretty flower decorated tyres!), Spa & Nurburgring 24hrs Porsches, classic Brabham, Delage, Stratos & Sierra RS500s & 2022 Glickenhaus and we couldn't resist putting "Rexy" as the high light model.

Fittipaldi F5A 2nd Brazil 1978 #14 Fittipaldi - Reference CFK007

 

Exclusively single seater, firstly there's the latest volume in the great series "Formula 1, Car by Car" charting the 2000 decade. If you may have overlooked these books, the whole series remains available. In partnership with 1:43 kit masters TameoCigale 43 has produced a very fine kit of Emerson Fittipaldi's 2nd placed Brazil 1978 Fittipaldi F5A along with decal sets to make the Lola T88 Indy 500 1988 #98 Andretti, March 792 F2 1979/1980 Walter Wolf Racing Japan & March 792 F2 Champion 1979 #1/2/3/10all of which are suitable to be used on Tameo or SilverLine donor kits.

 

TrueScale's new releases are the 2023 Cadillac V-Series.R 17th placed Le Mans Whelen & 4th placed Daytona 24hrs Chip Ganassi Racing entries, Turner Motorsports' Laguna Seca "Music Notes" BMW M4 GT3, a street BMW M4 Schnitzer & Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Unusually, the Looksmart contribution has managed to combine delivery of both hand built Bugatti Bolide & Ferrari Daytona SP3 Icona Rosso Corsa and resincast 1970 Formula 1 Ferrari 312B, 2023 Le Mans Ferrari 488GTEs & 2021 Nurburgring 24hrs Ferrari 488 GT3s which makes for a very interesting collection.

If you missed it, here is the previous edition of FSW Weekly, the current Future Production listings, Sale Department and our Rarities Department too.

Lando Norris! What more do we need to say? It is always a refreshing moment to celebrate a new Grand Prix winner and congratulate the McLaren team's success in Miami. Inter Europol and Spirit of Race (Ferrari) took the LMP2 & GT3 honours in the Paul Ricard ELMS race while BMW & Mercedes shared out the wins in the first round of the GTWCESC at Brands Hatch.

This weekend is a big one - after seven stages of Rally Portugal, Hyundai occupy the first three spots with Danny Sordo leading the way. It is "The Month of May" and the Indy boys are kicking off this May season on the road course before turning their attention to the 500 whilst Formula E will be slipstreaming their way around the Berlin circuit. If sportscars are more your thing, both WEC and IMSA fields are in action in the Spa 6hrs and the Laguna Seca race. Let's not forget tin-top fans who can enjoy NASCAR from Darlington and the BTCC at Brands hatch. Let's hope it is a drier affair than round 1 from Donington.
