Otto have gotten the rights to make Alfa, Fiat, Mercedes and Opel models in 2014. Hoping for Nova model although I doubt it was/is popular in France

You never know Brian. Otto do seem to do different cars and don't seem to do stuff thats already been done. MK1-MK2 Astra/Kadett would be nice. Alfa 33 or Sud too. Fiat have beenmostly doner and what the hell will they do in Merc. Lot of manufacturers make them.

Anyone heard when the Rothmans Beemers are being shipped?

no Justin, but they were officially a feb release I think, so might be a day or two yet...... sometimes the otto stuff comes earlier than expected, sometimes later....

I'm doomed  

Rumour has it Otto are making the VW Golf 2 G60 works rally version. I remember watching an old Circuit of Ireland VHS (86??) of a few of these ending up in a monaghan ditch after rain and oil on the road. Any remember any Irish drivers having these.

Its also rumoured the Citroen BX 4TC, Lancia Delta S4, Peugeot 205 T16 EVO 1, Porsche 911 SC R will all be released. Havnt seen anything offical but Im hoping the 911 see daylight anyway

Can't have been a G60 in 86 and it was first used in 88. Must have been GTI's?

A 911 SCRS would look nice in 1/18.

Must have been the GTI then. All those golfs look the same to me (runs for cover)   

Im trying to find the clip but but cant see it. It was on an old RPM VHS recording i have but dont see that particular corner in the youtube clips

Golf Rallye was 88 as Mark Lovell drove one in the BRC amongst others but they were basically Group N cars and really unreliable!

Otto have quite a few road car moulds now that could be utilised for rally versions Sierra Pug 205T16 etc so am a bit suprised they havent got on it sooner. Autoart have obviously already beat them to the Delta S4 and are scheduled to release several 911 SCRS including a Therier Esso car so they may want to steer clear of those!

This what you were looking for Brian? (from RPM's Circuit of Ireland Heroes 2)
1989 Circuit (Couldn't fully make out the driver but it sounded like Christian Carling!!)

Terry Cree and Christine Parling in the Container Ships Golf 16v. Both still rallying!

Yes thats the corner Sean. Loads of cars went off on that corner that day
