Diecast/Models DTM and V8 Star 1:43 Models

I wonder why isn't there anyone making diecasts of the V8 Stars?

I found a site with the 2001 Cecotto winning V8 star car, I'll try ad find it for you. I don't think there are any plans for BTCC or ETCC models at the moment, maybe something will appear in the pipeline later this year.

www.raceland.de - look under Schuco and you should find the Cecotto 2001 Opel car.

Thanks for the lead.

Too bad that no V8STAR and TC2000 cars are being produced. Regarding individual cars, I am disappointed that no Supertouring Mondeos or Dodge Stratus were created after the '94 season? Does this prove that Ford has the least support? I guess they sold the least?? Also why aren't there 1/18 Audi TTs?

I always try to collect a full grid of 1/43 DTM models - in previous years they've all been from Minichamps, for which my preferred supplier's Motorsport Products (www.minichamps.com). They also tend to have a good back catalogue of Minichamps models.

Minichamps have only produced the ten Mercs from the 2002 season - the six Opels and five Audis were made by Schuco, which I've never seen on sale in the UK. I got a full set from www.raceland.de, and they arrived within a couple of days of ordering.

Schuco also have quite a few V8 Stars models either available or listed for future release and the quality of their DTM cars was very close to Minichamps.

I found this website while wondering the internet and boy, does this website rock! It's not 100% complete, but it's pretty darn good for those who want reference #s and pictures of available 1/43 models for ST and DTM. As far as I'm concerned, I'll consider it "definitive"!!

For the pre-2000 DTM listings, this website is pretty "definitive"!

Yep, I knew it was gonna get moved. But hopefully, some fellow race fans got some more benefit from it being in the race discussion forum than the model discussion forum.

Great site, pity about the Angelfire pop-ups.

Touring cars, in my opinion, will never be as good as they were in the 90's.

Hey KM, remember me, its Phesto from WC forum. I emailed you, hope you got it. Need to talk to you about a few things racing.
