Re: BMW M3 GTR - Campionato Italiano Turismo Endurance 1/24

One of the reason I wanted to make this car was cause I saw her racing last month in Monza.
The color is too nice,all the car gives a sensation of power that I love.
As a secondary job I am the truckdriver for Honda Corse,and some of my friends build the real car for the client-pilot Piero Necchi, that shares the seat with endurance italian legend Beppe Gabbiani (ex f1 osella, Lancia Lc2...ac schnitzer bmw m6..)

She was originally build in Germany (wher else? ) ,with ADAC VLN specs,then finished in Italy by Rolandi Auto,to fit FIA specs for our local tourism endurance champ.

This car has nothing in common with the one at the Chicago expo at the beginning of 2009.U can see it clearly looking the differences in the front wheel arch,as well as the bonnet is different.
The demo Bmw is higher in shape,and overall the car is simply similar to this one... but that was only a show car and (still?) not a true racer.
Some says thats is the first look of the upcoming DTM car,still not seen at today.

The engine is even the v8 4 Liters Bmw based and tuned by Rolandi.
Will be too cool to see her someday at the ring 24 hours....but before I have to convince Piero Necchi in that adventure..

as guide for dimensions and shape I got a draw from friends working on the real..
