I finally found the 2022 Le Mans winning Toyota GR010 Hybrid, but it wasn't the typical Spark "43LM22". Instead it was made for a Polish company (Brandand Ltd.) with the weird number TBMTY-LEMAN-22. Unlike other Spark Le Mans winners, this one includes a replica of the winner team's trophy, very well done indeed.

Much more quickly issued was last year's Le Mans winner, the Ferrari 499P by LookSmart. With this being Ferrari's first win there since 1965, there's a lot of interest in this one and the detail on the LookSmart is excellent. For the diecast crowd I believe Burago is issuing/has issued their own version.

 Lastly here is the Porsche 963 campaigned by the Penske team last year at the Daytona 24-hour race, the first race appearance of the 963. It placed 14th, but 2024 was much more successful for the team.

Ferrari wins again! Looks like I will have another LookSmart to get. I might also want the Mustang that placed third in GT3
