DBR IN ACTION. THE FIRST RACE.

Finished thre car but decided to add a bit more detail - PE Discs an Caliprers....
I used Discs from Scaleproduction in combination with the Rennaisance PE
parts and Resin Calipers Detailed the Sakatsu wheels with the kit decals
........ WOW, I think they look really good

And then off to race in Munich.
20 Concours points!!
The crowd was good and the starter feild fierce, the cars looked great
and my DBR 9 scored pole position on its first roll out.

Then disaster struck!! I ran into a car that was "Parked" on my lane and
the driver did not say anything! The whole front was smashed bits of
Resin flew all over the track .... and I was as mad as hell..... but then - Shit
happens. I picked up the parts that i could find and that were big enough to
use, glued the spoiler and the front bumper back on and went on to
win the race, The DBR ran like a bat outta hell!

The very same night back home i set out to fix the damage a good as I could
and by sunday night, I had finshed and had the car looking almost as good as
it was but stronger in the fragile areas. Where and when is the next race??
I will surely build a second car hope to find other liveries.... kinda like the redbull
version...

Hello Fola
Michael already forwarded your "bad day at the races" mail to me. When I saw your build pictures for the first time I thought...that nose is awfully thin and fragile...what can I say, shit happens. One reason more to get into slicone mold making and start laminating your own bodies.

Our DBR nose is almost solid carbon with the splitter as an intergrated part.
I'm sort of very busy right now trying to get our car ready for the 24hrs race this weekend but will get back to you later.
Will be able to get you some off the casts we made from the Spark DBR9 ( the correct grouped 14 spokes)

p.s. the brakediscs&callipers look awsome :holy

With kind regards
Tamar

Tamar,
then I guess I'll have to come visit you for a crash course on laminating and casting an so on...,.!!
The DBR9 is my second Resin Model and the first that i drove in a race and I am very happy with the
results.
I have my 20 points, won my first Race and managed to fix the car. I had already bought a second rennaisance
body! Think I will build the Black version that raced last week....... need to get more pix.
Look forward to getting the 14 spokes even though the Disc brakes only work with sakatsu's.....
