First is the winner at Le Mans, once again the Toyota TS050 Hybrid of Toyota Gazoo Racing, driven by Buemi/Nakajima/Hartley, covering 387 laps, 5 laps ahead of the 2nd place Rebellion team car. The race was postponed from June to September due to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in France.

My second model is Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes AMG F1 W11 EQ Performance from the Turkish Grand Prix. His 1st place there clinched his 7th World Driver's Championship. The model comes with various painted metal signs replicating those seen at the finish celebration. His win tied him with Michael Schumacher for the most World Championship titles in history. Hamilton is presently 8 points behind Max Verstappen in the 2021 season, so it remains to be seen if Lewis will break that tie this year.

As usual, both Spark models are very highly detailed.

Two wonderful models Harv. I have up to 2019 for both Formula 1 winners and LeMans Winners. I'd better get busy and order these two.

Unusual to have a three repeat for a victorious Le Mans car.

@david-green Three[eats seem to be getting more common. Porsche's 919 did it in 2015-17, and the Audi R18 hybrids did it in 2012-14. I would not delay on the Hamilton car, championship clinchers tend to disappear from the warehouses quickly.
