5/25/05 UPDATE: New stuff from Auto Art, as we pack for Indy. We're impressed with the first of several 1/18 scale Porsche 911 GT3 R's that we will see in the next couple of weeks but the silver (grey) Bugatti Veyron just blows us away. Check out the photo sets for all the new Auto Art in the usual place.

See you at Indy!

5/24/05 UPDATE: In addition to several new Minichamps models that arrived today, including the Andretti/Andretti/Alliot Porsche 956L seen below ($44.95), we received a small restock of the very popular 1/12 scale Ducati 900, riden by Mike 'the Bike' Hailwood to victory in the 1978 Isle of Man TT ($89.95). They went fast last time!

See the New Die Cast page for additional photos.

If you're going to Indy this weekend, we will be taking part in the 27th Annual National Auto Racing Memorabilia Show this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Show will be at the Indiana State Fairgrounds this year, after being held downtown since the beginning. If you know someone who is going, pass the word.

 

5/17/05 UPDATE: Check out the great new arrivals from Minichamps, highlighted by the famous 'Moby Dick' Porschd 935/78. Full photo sets are posted on the New Die Cast page.

5/13/05 UPDATE: Team Rahal's Danica Patrick has been at or near the top of the speed charts during the entire first week of practice for the 2005 Indianapolis 500. Those of you who are long-time TMC customers may remember that we spotted Danica at Brands Hatch nearly five years ago when she finished second to Anthony Davidson in the 2000 Formula Ford Festival. Her second place finish matched Danny Sullivan's record as the highest place American finish at this prestigious event.

5/12/05 UPDATE: Two great new biographies have just arrived, profiling two individuals who made their mark on the sport nearly a half century apart:

'Driven Man' is the story of one of the most powerful individuals in international racing today. Dave Richards is the man behind Prodrive, who's cars have won 6 World Rally Championships, five British Touring Car Championships and a GTS Class win at LeMans for Ferrari a couple of years ago. Prodrive and Richards were brought in to change BAR's fortunes in Formula One in late 2002 and this year will bring Aston Martin back to LeMans, starting strong with a first in class in this year's 12 Hours of Sebring. Alan Henry profiles the man some call the Roger Penske of Great Britain. $24.95

I know we don't 'do NASCAR' here, but the origins of stock car racing and the larger than life characters that brought the sport to prominence in the 50s and 60s are an important part of US racing history. Curtis Turner was one of those legends. We've read a few random paragraphs from 'Full Throttle: the Life and Fast Times of Curtis Turner' by Robert Edelstein and it looks like a fascinating read. Sort of like a 'Stand on it' that names names. A must for 60s race fans. $24.95

 

5/6/05 UPDATE: We were pleasantly surprised by the overal quality and the photo selection of the latest release in the Ludvigsen Library Series entitled 'Can Am Racing Cars: Secrets of the Sensational Sixties Sports - Racers'. A better quality paper than we've seen in the past from Iconografx, the photos (all black and white) in this 125 page softcover book are crisp and clear and best of all, interesting. If you're like me and can't get enough of the classic Can Am era, you'll enjoy this book. $29.95 plus shipping.

We've added the 1975 Ickx/Bell Mirage to our selection of 1/43 scale LeMans winners from IXO. Check out the New Die Cast page.

5/2/05 UPDATE: Today's new arrivals from Minichamps include the 2004 LeMans winning Audi R8, a Martine Porsche 911 Carrera, Peter Dumbreck's sharp looking Valvoline Lola from the 2004 DTM, the latest Takuma Sato Collection release and two versions (in case 1 wasn't enough) of Timo Glock's 2004 Jordan Ford. All are featured on the New Die Cast page.
