Just picked up this little jewel, the last Audi R-8s to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This is a 1:64 die-cast released by NewRay (don't know a lot about the company)

I do know the car however! Entered by ADT Champion Racing, this Audi Sport UK prototype had a 3.6 liter turbo V8 and was driven to a first place overall by Tom Christensen (His 6th straight Le Mans victory), JJ Lento and Marco Werner in the 2005 running of the endurance classic.

This was the last R-8s to win, as the equally dominating R10-TDI made it’s debut the next year phasing these cars out of LMP1 competition.

Got this one last time I was in Germany, as well as R10 TDI #8 - the 2006 LeMans winner. Last minute shopping in Munich airport, almost missed the flight - but worth it!

Yea, I can see explaining that to the wife..."Sorry honey, I missed my flight but I will get the next one hours from now." "Hu?...Why did I miss?....." Well,.....uuuuh......."

I have not seen the R10 in 1:64 yet, is it also New Ray? Have you seen the 1:1 R15 yet?

Very nice.

Congrats!
