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

decals for windshields applied.

The name Beppe Gabbiani on the front windshield is a mistake, cause this car raced mostly with its owner (Piero Necchi,owner also of the main sponsor of this car).

The other pilot Beppe Gabbiani, is a living legend race pilot from the 80s (he raced with Lancia in the C group serie, formula 1 with Osella, and in recent time with that green too nice BMW m6 from Ac Schnitzer).
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beppe_Gabbiani (choose your language, even if the italian page this time is much more detailed)
His nickname is Cavallo Pazzo (crazy horse) and he has a life that seems coming from a movie.

Too skilled pilot.He didnt do all the "Campionato" races, but just some, sharing the seat with his good friend Piero Necchi.

Little wanted mistake, but is a tribute I wanna give to this fool guy,survived to the "golden age" motorsport era
