Last year I posted the MC models I had from this series:
First up is the Action Corvette, 6th overall and 1st in the GTS class at the Petit Le Mans.
Bennetton-Renault B201, #7 finished 8th at the USGP at Indy. This and the three other F1s are cars I saw at the race - all had the US flag added to their flanks.
Bennetton-Renault B201, #8 finished 9th.
Both Minardis were DNFs.
This Audi R8 was third at the Petit Le Mans. I cannot tell what differences in decoration were made, since Team Champion was US-based and wore the flag in other races.
Lastly there's this Porsche GT3RS from Gunnar Racing which placed 24th in the Grand-Am finale. Note the black band across the nose.
The first five above all have the somber flag outer sleeve. The Porsche should have had one, but most I see on ebay do not. I have yet to see a sleeve on the Audis.
As I typed this the Oak Ridge High School observed a memorial to the victims of 9/11. On the ORHS premises are two pieces of steel from the WTC site, along with one of the largest pieces of unpulverized granite recovered. A couple of NY-based former grads were able to pull off getting these items for this monument.
