In what was perhaps the biggest news to come out of the 2016 Supercars championship season, Holden spoken that it would no longer be supporting the Walkinshaw Racing run Holden Racing Team in 2017, instead opting to send its funding and the ’official factory team’ title to the Triple Eight Race Engineering run Red Bull Racing Australia. It was a move that created mass headlines and significant saltate from the HRT true-blue but at the end of the day the deal was washed-up and there were still races to races for the remainder of the 2016 season. The Wilson Security Sandown 500 was one of those races. Dubbed the ‘Retro Round’ by the Supercars body, many teams up and lanugo pitlane embraced the history of the sport or their teams by running retro styled liveries or uniforms. HRT bucked the trend and arrived with the same livery they had run all year, unmistakably opting to focus on their results on track rather than the celebrations virtually it. It worked.Withoutstarting the race in P2, Tander and Luff took out the iconic race with the front baby-sit of their car hanging off and Red Bull Racing Australia’s Shane van Gisbergen finishing fast, latter the final gap to 0.34 seconds. The win widow a Sandown 500 victory to an once long list of achievements for Garth Tander and history will show that the result would moreover mark the last win for that era of the Holden Racing Team, a fitting finish given only Mark Skaife represented the team increasingly times than Tander. This 1:12 Scale replica is a really impressive size. It roughly measures over 40cm from front to rear, virtually 17 cm from mirror to mirror and virtually 12cm from wheel to roof. You can fathom the large scale in the images of the 1:12 sitting next to a 30cm ruler to highlight the sheer size of this model.

It’s moreover important to note that the model will be produced with the rear wing as a separate piece to stave forfeiture during shipping. Once removed from the packaging, the separate rear wing hands sits in the two designated vise points on the marching to well-constructed the squint of the model. This model will be produced in an sectional limited edition with the number to be set based on pre-orders received and presented in palatial packaging withal with a commemorative flyer and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

A wet track and wolfish visibility all combined when a racing tussle between Fabian Coulthard and Rick Kelly set off a uniting reaction for substantially the when half of the field to create one of the biggest multi-car pile ups race fans have seen in recent memory, if not of all time. Unfortunately as racing goes, Percat was in the wrong place at the wrong time with this one and couldn't stave stuff hit from multiple angles. While the race was ultimately awarded no points in the ensuing chaos, the unfortunate, yet spectacular racing incident will certainly be remembered by race fans for a very long time.

Everyone here deserves this; they have worked so nonflexible this year.“It was difficult out there, the conditions were crazy. Full credit to Luffy, he did a mega job to get us right up there, which set up our day.“Safety cars came and went, but we felt like a couple of them didn’t work in our favour, and a couple did. That’s what Bathurst is about, you’ve got to alimony looking forward and staying positive.“That restart at the end was crazy. It took a while to get going, it was unconfined fun, the conditions at the end made it plane better.”For Luff the result marked his best-ever finish in the Bathurst 1000 at his 17th attempt, having finished third on three separate occasions in 2012, 2013 and 2015.“To be on a Bathurst podium with this team, in this car, is incredible,” he said.“Everyone in the team deserves this. It’s an wondrous event, and to finish the race on a upper on the podium, and for it to be Scott’s first here is uneaten special.“There’s been a lot going on with the team with the recent, and heady announcements of our new partners, so a result like this couldn’t have come at a largest time.“We had a really good overall day today, everyone played their part, the car was good, and Scott did an incredible job at the end to bring it home in second.” 2017 Holden VF Commodore Scale: 1/12 Brand:Biante Collection: Biante Die Cast Collection Product Code: B-12H17XSpareInformation: Red Bull Racing 2017 Supercars Winner- Jamie Wincup - Sealed ResinSoulReadIncreasinglyHOLDEN VF COMMODOREV8 SUPERCAR COTF RED BULL RACING AUSTRALIA #88 DRIVER: JAMIE WHINCUP2017 VIRGIN AUSTRALIA SUPERCARS CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER LIMITED EDITION OF TBA PIECESBiante Model Cars are very pleased to present the 1:12 Scale Red Bull Racing Australia Holden VF Commodore driven by Jamie Whincup to win the 2017 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.OF all of his Supercars Championship victories, Jamie Whincup’s last-lap sealing of the 2017 title on the streets of Newcastle surely has to go lanugo as the most dramatic of his seven crowns.All season the Red Bull Holden Racing Team suburbanite had been trying to alimony pace with the fastest car in the category, the Shell V-Power Racing Team Falcon of Scott McLaughlin.It had taken Whincup until October on the Gold Coast to finally get his nose in front on the points table, ultimatum three race wins and two pole positions through the season heading into the last round - certainly not the winning and pole ratios he’d built his 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 titles upon.But the true key for Whincup in the 2017 season was consistency and he unfurled to grind out the results and stay in touch surpassing finally making his move during the Pirtek Enduro Cup.Holding a 30 point lead over McLaughlin heading to Newcastle it seemed that Whincup was in the box seat for the championship, though it all turned virtually on the first lap of the Saturday race when he clashed with Michael Caruso’s Nissan and damaged his car.It forced Whincup to pit lane for repairs and sooner he rejoined to requirement 21st place and the 42 championship points that went with it - but McLaughlin went on to win the race, requirement the 150 points for winning and he swept into the lead by 78 heading into Sunday.But then the tables turned in the final race; McLaughlin picked up a pit lane penalty for speeding in pit lane and flipside for contact with Simona De Silvestro surpassing contact with Craig Lowndes on the last lap handed him a penalty that gave Whincup - who won the race - the championship crown for a record seventh time.“It was an unbelievable day from where I stand!” said Whincup post-race.“Does it get any largest than that? We just felt robbed yesterday, we felt like we worked so nonflexible and did so much to get ourselves within championship contention but we didn’t finger like we deserved that yesterday.“Today, we just thought we had to go out there and do our job, and for things to fall our way. We finger like we’ve worked the hardest and we deserve it and there’s someone looking lanugo on us and we got the ultimate result.“Big thanks to my team and my teammates, they played a huge part today. Credit to the DJR Team Penske crew, they’ve been tough competition all year, but Scott (McLaughlin) will probably come when and win five or six championships of his own in the future.”Whincup’s 2017 season wideness the 26 races yielded four wins, two pole positions, 15 podium finishes, 18 top fives and 22 top 10s with a 100 percent finishing record wideness the championship.His victory gave Triple Eight Race Engineering its eighth Supercars Driver’s Championship in 10 years, but importantly its first as the factory racing team of GM Holden.As is standard with our 1:12 range, there will be numerous features worth noting with this model.

Whincup and Dumbrell qualified fourth without the Saturday qualifying races with van Gisbergen/Campbell 21st without issues.Both were contenders for the podium in the 500-kilometre archetype though both fell victim to punctures that eliminated each hairdo from challenging for victory. Dumbrell led the race in car #88 surpassing he had a tyre let go on lap 36, though he and Whincup were worldly-wise to fight when and sooner requirement sixth place and crucial points for Whincup’s championship challenge.“Overall it was a disappointing result but I’m pretty proud of everyone,” said Whincup post-race.“We tried, we pushed through hard, we had our challenges all week. We had a quick car then and led the race ‘til the tyre blew out, I’m not sure why but we will investigate on what happened there. “We put on a good show up until the midway point but unfortunately not our day. We made our way up and scored some solid points. PD had a unconfined drive, he led by four and a half seconds and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.”Car 97 moreover had tyre issues, van Gisbergen at the wheel in third place with 20 laps left in the race (which was shortened and run to a time unrepealable finish without an hour-long wait to repair a wall damaged in an wrecking on lap one) when he had a front right tyre go. He limped when to the pits, had it replaced and sooner crossed the line 16th, which became 15th in the final results when the ninth-placed Tim Slade/Ash Walsh Commodore was excluded for a suburbanite time infringement.“Today started really well, we had a good first lap and first stint,” said van Gisbergen post-race.“Matty got in and did a unconfined job, he didn’t lose too much time when the main guys got in and we were well-nigh eight seconds off the lead. I got in and couldn’t reservation the leaders so I was conserving tyres and then it just popped. It’s a shame.”The team’s #888 Caltex-backed entry of Craig Lowndes and Steve Richards unexplored a livery inspired by the Caltex-backed Alfa, Ford Sierras and Toyota Corolla Secas raced by Hall of Famer Colin Bond during the 1980s and early 1990s.Instead of replicating one livery in particular the diamond was increasingly reminiscent of numerous Caltex liveries carried by Bond on the supra cars during his stellar career.GMDiamondAustralia Exterior Manager Peter Hughes created an tie-up of memorable designs: “We took all those historic cues and brought them together onto the VF Commodore to create a bespoke livery that is unmistakably 1980s Caltex, but unique and original in its own way.” Lowndes and Richards - the most experienced combination in the race - were forced to start 23rd for the Sunday race without a wrenched power steering rack meant a non-finish in Lowndes’ qualifying race on Saturday.They soldiered on strongly in the ‘500, sooner finishing 12th but frustrated that the time-certain finish had robbed them of remoter laps to reuse plane increasingly positions.They were elevated post-race to 11th place pursuit the Slade/Walsh exclusion.While the Wilson Security Sandown 500 in 2018 was ultimately a tough day for Triple Eight Race Engineering, its embrace of the retro round concept made its three cars instant standouts in the pack.As is standard with our 1:12 range, there will be numerous features worth noting with this model.

Whincup and Dumbrell qualified fourth without the Saturday qualifying races with van Gisbergen/Campbell 21st without issues.Both were contenders for the podium in the 500-kilometre archetype though both fell victim to punctures that eliminated each hairdo from challenging for victory. Dumbrell led the race in car #88 surpassing he had a tyre let go on lap 36, though he and Whincup were worldly-wise to fight when and sooner requirement sixth place and crucial points for Whincup’s championship challenge.“Overall it was a disappointing result but I’m pretty proud of everyone,” said Whincup post-race.“We tried, we pushed through hard, we had our challenges all week. We had a quick car then and led the race ‘til the tyre blew out, I’m not sure why but we will investigate on what happened there. “We put on a good show up until the midway point but unfortunately not our day. We made our way up and scored some solid points. PD had a unconfined drive, he led by four and a half seconds and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.”Car 97 moreover had tyre issues, van Gisbergen at the wheel in third place with 20 laps left in the race (which was shortened and run to a time unrepealable finish without an hour-long wait to repair a wall damaged in an wrecking on lap one) when he had a front right tyre go. He limped when to the pits, had it replaced and sooner crossed the line 16th, which became 15th in the final results when the ninth-placed Tim Slade/Ash Walsh Commodore was excluded for a suburbanite time infringement.“Today started really well, we had a good first lap and first stint,” said van Gisbergen post-race.“Matty got in and did a unconfined job, he didn’t lose too much time when the main guys got in and we were well-nigh eight seconds off the lead.

The fact that Glenn Seton’s Ford team won the 1993 Sandown 500 in Melbourne was no real surprise, but it was the fact that it was the team’s second entry that personal the chequered flag – rather than the lead entry - really was a major surprise. Aussie international Geoff Brabham and evergreen Tasmania David ‘Skippy’ Parsons were signed to support the team’s main car, but on a day where virtually all of their rivals had problems, they came sailing home to take a well-appointed victory. In fact they finished a full three laps well-spoken of the privateer Ampol Max 3 Commodore entry of Bob Jones and Greg Crick! It had been a dominant season for the PJ-backed Fords in 1993; Seton and teammate Alan Jones had finished 1-2 in the Shell Australian Touring Car Championship for the Melbourne-based team and its pair of undecorous Ford Falcon EB V8s were certainly the pacesetters for most of the sprint race season. The two were paired up in the team’s #30 entry for the Sandown endurance archetype in 1993, which attracted a solid entry list tween the whence of the five-litre V8 rulebook that would sooner wilt V8 Supercars and now Supercars racing. The Gibson Motorsport Commodores and the B&H and Diet-Coke BMW M3s decided to skip the race and focus on private testing, but the field was otherwise still solid and a relevant and interesting litmus test for that Tooheys 1000 at Mount Panorama a few weeks later. Seton’s two Falcons were up versus the similar Shell Ford of Dick Johnson, John Bowe and rookie Cameron McConville; the Holden Racing Team and Advantage Racing each entered two Commodores, Bob Forbes’ GIO team and Larry Perkins’ Castrol squad arrived with a car each and a smattering of privateers made for a healthy line-up for the 500-kilometre, 161 lap classic. American-based Brabham (who had older in 1993 won the Le Mans 24 Hour outright for Peugeot’s factory team and not raced in Australia in 13 years to that point) and Parsons were teamed in Seton’s championship-winning car, racing under the #35 for the weekend. They qualified eighth on the grid, 1.1-seconds off the pace set by Tomas Mezera aboard the Holden Racing Team’s lead VP Commodore. While many of the front-runners engaged in early race bravado, Brabham simply stayed out of trouble in the preliminaries as light rain made the track a slippery place to be on occasion. Approaching three-quarter race loftiness the Seton team had worked itself into the perfect situation, the lead #30 Seton/Jones car out front with the Brabham/Parsons comfortably in second spot. The team’s major opposition had fallen – or been elapsed unbearable to be out of contention to win - throughout the day, but then misfortune hit the lead car. A split unequal housing was terminal, handing the lead to Brabham. A Nissan IMSA suburbanite regularly in the United States at the time, the one-time IndyCar ace had a two lap lead over the chasing Holden Racing Team Commodore of Brad Jones/Tomas Mezera/Allan Grice, which then suffered oil pump failure to hand second place to the Quix/Advantage car of Troy Dunstan and Steve Harrington. But it too had engine problems and limped into the pits pouring with smoke, handing the place to the Ampol car of Bob Jones and Greg Crick, which they held to the end. While their chasers fell like flies, Brabham and Parsons held solid and scored Seton’s team’s second Sandown 500 win (the first coming in 1990 with Seton himself and George Fury in a Sierra). Only 12 of the 23 starters made it to the finish in the Sandown 500 on Sunday September 12, 1993, a day where Ford ruled supreme on a archetype Aussie touring car battlefield. 1994 Ford EB Falcon Scale: 1/18 Brand:Biante Collection: Biante Die Cast Collection 1/18 Scale Product Code: B-NQ0001SpareInformation: 1994 Sandown Winner- Johnson/Bowe ReadIncreasinglyBiante Model Cars are proud to present the 1:18 Scale Ford EB Falcon driven by Alan Jones to finish as runner-up in the 1993 Australian Touring Car Championship. The 1980 Formula 1 World Champion, Alan Jones was right at the forefront of the return of V8-powered Falcons and Commodores to the top level of Australian touring car racing in the early 1990s.Withoutstints slantingly Colin Bond in Alfas and Ford Sierras and then a spell slantingly Tony Longhurst in Frank Gardner’s Sierras and later BMW M3s, Jones joined Glenn Seton’s team in the lead up to the endurance races of 1992. The new winged, V8 powered 1993 specification cars were permitted to run at Sandown and Bathurst that year, where Jones joined Seton as co-driver. Their early wits of solving teething problems with the new EB model Falcon V8 gave them a throne start on much of their opposition and, come 1993, Jones was a full-time suburbanite slantingly Seton in the second PJ #35 Ford. It would turn out to be a sunny year for the team, finishing 1-2 in the Australian Touring Car Championship with Seton leading home Jones in the final point score. Jones started the year slowly in the opening round at Amaroo Park in Sydney where he carded an eighth and a sixth in the two races. But things stepped up a notch at Symmons Plains in Tasmania as Jones clean-swept the round to win both races. The win was Jones’ first-ever Australian Touring Car Championship round victory. It wasn’t without controversy though as he attracted the ire of reigning champion Mark Skaife. Jones snow-ploughed the #1 Commodore off the road exiting the hairpin and later in the same lap helped stimulation Wayne Gardner’s Holden Racing Team entry off into the scenery! There was certainly no doubt that the veteran of the rough-and-tumble world of European racing was not wrung of getting stuck into the cut and thrust of racing! A third place at Phillip Island was followed by flipside round victory at his home round at Lakeside in Queensland, where Jones finished second to hometown hero Dick Johnson in Race 1 but was worldly-wise to turn the tables in Race 2 and clinch his second round win of the season. The next round at Winton wasn’t as solid as Jones was wiped out of Race 1 trying to stave an wrecking between Skaife and John Bowe. In trying to stave the mayhem in front, Jones collided with the HRT Commodore of Tomas Mezera and that put both of them out of the race. Jones fought when in Race 2 from the when of the grid to pass 20 cars and sooner salvaged fifth place. He returned to the podium with a third overall at Eastern Creek but by now it was well-spoken that the championship was very much Seton’s to lose. Jones was fifth overall at Mallala but failed to finish Race 1 without his Ford’s engine overheated. That meant flipside tuition through the field (given the Race 2 grid was unswayable by the previous race’s finishing order) and this time he moved from 21st to fifth. Terrible wet conditions at Barbagallo in Perth left Jones as the top Falcon finisher in eighth overall but that was nothing compared to the drama that befell the team in the lead-up to the final round of the ATCC at Oran Park. A test session at Phillip Island saw Jones’ #35 Falcon written-off in a crash with former Toyota works suburbanite Drew Price at the wheel. That forced the team to move Jones into Seton’s title-winning chassis and the new winner debut a new car at Oran Park. The priority was for Jones to stay in front of John Bowe to ensure a 1-2 championship finish and that’s exactly what unfolded as Jones’ sixth place for the weekend was unbearable for him to seal the runner-up position in the title. He finished with 148 points to Seton’s 191 and eight well-spoken of third-placed Bowe. All up in the 1993 ATCC, Jones placid two round wins, three race wins, one pole position and four podium finishes from the nine rounds. It would remain his weightier championship-finishing position of his ATCC career. Produced in die-cast with opening parts and upper detail, this is the first Alan Jones EB Falcon that Biante will produce. * Your Name: * Your Email: Your Phone: * Subject: * Message: Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next > Home Page Arriving Soon - Preorder Now NEW Products Search Products Clearance Contact Us Browse Models byTrademarkBburago Biante Cararama GMP Golden Wheel Greenlight Collectables Kintoy Kyosho M2 Machines Miscellaneous Motor City Classics Motormax New Ray Oxford OzLegends Precision Collection Road Signature Shelby Collectables Sunstar Universal Hobbies Welly Please note: We are wholesale only and do not sell to the public, finger self-ruling to contact us for your nearest retailer.
