When simply EVERYONE is in TEAM TRANSPORT MOOD – FEATURETTE
Truck Mania: Hot Wheels has just launched the Hot Wheels Elite 64 Freightliner Cascadia Truck on their Mattel Creations platform, the first truck from Hot Wheels in the Elite 64 series. This series is only available online until they’re sold out. And yes, it took less than 45 minutes for the double decker trailer with working ramp, moulded grille and 16 edges to sell out. There is space for up to 6 vehicles on the trailer. This Truck Mania though gave us the opportunity to take a closer look at the Team Transport phenomenon.

Motorsport in the Land of the Rising Sun – The history of the JGTC Super GT and its models: Unlike many other racing series around the world, the Japanese Super GT series had not one, but two predecessors.

TARMAC CARDS by TARMAC WORKS FEATURETTE
Every car has a story This is the motto with which Tarmacworks is launching its new brand Tarmac Cards in an attempt to bring us collectors and model car fans even closer to the world of cars, which also makes the announcement of the deal with Koenigsegg and Libertywalk all the more timely.

However, not for too many customers – and at enormous prices. Fortunately, the price of the Tarmacworks model is better. The limitation of 500 units also only plays a role in the real vehicle; the models look a little better. With the emphasis on “a bit”, because the first releases in the red car colour went like hot cakes. Now Tamacworks has launched the Montreal Green colour for the GTAm and the Formula 1 special edition for the GTA, more about that…
