Yves Courage was one of the most active small manufacturers in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans from the 1980s to the 1990s. For 1994, the new car was the C32LM, complying with the new regulations that came into force after the demise of the World Endurance Championship. The C32LM had a more effective aerodynamic development and chassis than the 1993 C30LM. The engine was the 3000cc twin-turbo Porsche flat-6.
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.
