The Lexus RC F GT3 is one of the oldest GT3 cars of the 2024 season. Released in 2014, the car was initially developed for the Japanese Super GT, before debuting in various international championships, such as IMSA, where it has raced since 2017. In Europe, the Lexus RC F was seen for the first time in 2024 in the FIA-WEC. The engine is a 5.4-liter V8, with a six-speed transmission. The car that will replace the RC F is scheduled for 2026.
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.
