AFX Shelby Mustang GT500H The next HO scale car from AFX is a stunning livery on the rather tasty Mustang GT500 mould. Designated GT500H, this is a throwback to the famous 1966 ‘Rent-a-Racer’ Mustang GT350H. Due with retailers very soon.

NSR Corvette C8.R NSR have two new Chevrolet Corvette C8.R liveries available to pre-order. The #3 car took a class win in the 2021 Daytona 24 Hours, driven by Nicky Catsburg, Antonio García & Jordan Taylor. The #64 car raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans of 2022, driven by Tommy Milner, Nick Tandy & Alexander Sims, but retired from the LMGTE Pro lead after being pushed into the barriers.

Trackside

Magnetic Racing Petrol Station Magnetic Racing have released a new, Route 66 style petrol station. The flat packed MDF kit also comes with two resin figures, three resin pumps, and a road sign. It looks like good value at the current sale price, which is available until the end of July.
