I received a few new Minichamps racing cars in the last week. First up, the W125 that carried Rudolf Carraciola to victory in the 1937 German GP.

Minichamps is issuing a boatload of Porsche 917 spyders from the CanAm and Interserie races, circa 1972-74.

The first two above were subjects of very nice Solido models, back in the 1970s. A few details have been added compared to those, but if you already have the Solido versions, my advice is to keep them and spend your money on the ones they didn't make, like the Martini 917/20. A Jagermeister version is imminent, to be followed by Brumos and the Charlie Kemp RC Cola car.

I must say...
I love that Mercedes even though I do not collect race cars. The detail looks great!

Also been some very nice kits of those cars, including Mark Donohue's LSR CAM2 version.
