Vat Inc. €79.95 1984 Monaco Grand Prix. Ayrton Senna, in his sixth Formula 1 appearance, makes an authentic masterpiece. After qualifying 13th, the Brazilian becomes the author of an incredible comeback and, in the rain, manages to reach Alain Prost's McLaren who is leading the race. Only the decision of the race director Jacky Ickx to expose the checkered flag after 31 of the 77 laps, due to the difficult conditions of the track, deprives the Brazilian driver of an almost certain victory. However, Senna manages to conquer second place and his first career podium, as well as the first for the Toleman team. Driving the TG184 in addition to Senna was also the former motorcycle champion Johnny Alberto Cecotto, who with it was the victim of a serious accident during the free practice of the British Grand Prix which was raced in July of that year on the Brands track Hatch. The Italian-Venezuelan was seriously injured in both legs and this forced him to definitively stop his promising career in Formula 1.

In the history of static modeling, Spark has truly revolutionized the market. The brand was created by Hugues Ripert, whose father André had been one of the main contenders of the artisanal modeling scene in the 70s and 80s. After working for Vitesse, Quartzo and Ixo, Ripert jr did not choose the diecast technique but opted for resin, with production in China but development and conception strictly in the European tradition. In practice the idea was to offer special models built in small series (what were later called "resincast"). The first Sparks were released in 2000, with a quality-price ratio unapproachable for most industrial and artisanal producers. Today Spark continues to churn out dozens of new products a year, having also expanded its production to other scales, such as 1:18 but also 1:64. There are numerous numbered and limited series for the various national distributors and for private customers such as teams, sponsors, drivers and so on.
