DMT/ITC 1995 - Hockenheimring / #9 - Manuel Reuter

CA36a

The Opel Calibra V6 is a racing car designed to take part in the German DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft), the German Tourism Car Championship that at the time was the technical pinnacle for touring cars. Racing was restricted to Class 1 (first division or D1) cars. The regulation mandated a maximum capacity of 2,5 liters and a maximum of 6 cylinders, derived from approved models and produced in at least 25,000 specimens. Rules also allowed dramatic changes to the car’s motor and chassis, provided that the body shape was maintained.
Opel entered the last race of 1993 as a test for the real début, which took place the following year with a car which was ready to compete against Alfa Romeo and Mercedes. In 1996, when the championship had already changed its name to ITC, Opel managed to win both the driver’s and the constructor’s championship titles. This car reproduces the official number 9 car with which Manuel Reuter raced the Hockenheimring race in 1995.

This model is decorated after No.25 with which Alex Wurz raced at Diepholz in 1996. This peculiar livery, which Wurz used throughout the 2nd half of the ITC Championship, is directly inspired by the driver’s helmet’s decoration.

ALFA ROMEO 155 V6Ti

DTM/ITC 1995 - Avusring / #8 - Nicola Larini

CA40a

The Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI is a racing car built to race in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft) series in 1993. At that time the German Touring Car Championship was the peak of technology for touring car racing, and it reserved for cars of Class 1 (first division or D1). In 1995, alongside DTM, the so called ITC – International Touring Car Championship – was also raced. The two series shared the same set of rules. For the 1995 racing season, Alfa Romeo’s 155 was turned into a more radical car, but to the expense of its reliability. Despite their best effort, Alfa Romeo’s works 155 only took one ITC victory and a few podiums. Private teams scored overall three wins in the DTM championship, respectively thanks to Euroteam and Schuebel Engineering. This car reproduces the works team’s number 8 as it raced on the city ‘Avus Ring’ circuit of Berlin, driven by former Formula 1 driver and DTM world champion Nicola Larini.

1992 - 1st Balthurst 1000 #1 - M. Skaufe, J. Richards

CA47d


The GT-R name, used between the 1960s and 1970s, was taken up by Nissan in 1989 for the R-32 model. Powered by a 2,586 cc inline 6-cylinder engine, with four-wheel drive and steering, the R-32 proved monstrously effective on the circuits, so much so that it deserved the nickname of ‘Godzilla’, with good reasons: the model was practically unbeatable in four consecutive editions of the All Japan Touring Cars championship and in the Australian one for three, including two Bathurst 1000 editions (’91 and ’92). It was only a change of regulations which caused the end of its racing career. The Nissan R-32 raced and won often in Gr.3 configuration. Driven by Masahiro Hasemi, it dominated the Guia Race in Macau in 1990, ahead of the BMW M3 and Sierra Cosworth. In 1991 the R-32 was penalized by a mandatory ballast of 150kg, while European cars were allowed to race in DTM configuration, with more powerful engines and wider tires. 
This model reproduces the car which, driven by M. Skaife and J. Richards, won the controversial edition of the Bathurst 1000 in 1992 in Australia.

DTM 1992 - Zolder / #18 - Kurt Thiim

CA44a

The Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II made a triumphant debut, winning all the first three places, in 1992, in the very popular German tourism championship “DTM” – Deutsche TourenWagen Meisterschaft. The car was developed by AMG starting from a “road” car base, and was built in about 500 units as required by the regulation. Compared to the EVO version the power was increased by 40 Hp. Engine hood, boot lid and spoiler were made of special plastic material. The Evo II raceing debut took place in the northern ring of the Nürburgring in the DTM race on the 16th of June 1990. In the final championship race, on the Hockenheim track, a new car was supplied to all teams. This model reproduces the car with which Kurt Thiim ran in 1992, finishing overall second in the championship behind Klaus Ludwig and ahead of Bernd Scheneider.
