Gary met up with the Le Mans Miniatures team and posted some pics and info on the MRE Facebook page...

   

The first news is of the Bugatti Type 59. It is no secret that LMM were producing the T59 - the Grand Prix car, not a Le Mans racer - but Nuremberg was the first chance to look at a finished model. This is the privately-entered car that Tazio Nuvolari drove at the 1934 Monaco Grand Prix, finishing fifth. A black street car will also be released soon, with another race car available later in the year - this one driven by René Dreyfus and presumably in the classic blue livery.

Also planned for 2020 are the two French Inaltéra LM cars from the 1976 Le Mans 24 hours, a Matra Sports Peugeot van and this new Jochen Rindt figure...

   

Expect more info in Gary's round-up of the Toy Fair.

With the 2020 Nuremberg Toy Fair done and dusted, that's probably the end of the coverage here. I'm certainly looking forward to the manufacturers, distributors and retailers giving us more detailed info, pictures, release dates and prices over the next few months. Naturally, we'll cover all of that here in the SlotRacer Online News section.
