Once again, the rest of the world gets the really cool cars and the US gets the shaft. I've never seen those smoke silver 16 valve's with the roll cage and the names on the sides.....that is really cool! Is it supposed to be Aryton Senna and Nikki Lauda? Two f1 drivers killed on the track.......

Those 1/18th scale AutoArt models have been on Ebay for months now. As for the cars themselves, they represent the 2.3-16's that were featured by Mercedes-Benz at the opening of the current Nurburgring in 1984 in a special race. Featuring GP drivers, Stirling Moss, Jack Brabham, Phil Hill, John Surtees, Denis Hulme, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, James Hunt, Alan Jones and Keke Rosberg and the then current GP drivers Niki Lauda, Keke Rosberg, Alain Prost, Elio de Angelis, Jacques Laffite and Ayrton Senna, the field was completed by Carlos Reutemann, John Watson, Hans Herrmann, Klaus Ludwig, Manfred Schurti and Udo Schultz. Senna was actually in his rookie year in F-1, but the current champ, Nelson Piquet didn't show up, so Senna got the ride . . . and won the race, by 1.38 seconds over Lauda. The funny story is that Laffite had missed the practice sessions and had to admit that he had no idea which way the new track went . . . so he told the Mercedes-Benz organizers, that if they would sell the car to him at a "good price" he promised not to bend it.
