This publication features the McLaren that enabled Niki Lauda to win his third world title, the 1984 MP4/2. A single-seater that from the incorporation of the TAG-Porsche engine in the middle of the 1983 season, began to perform at a better level, dominating a 1984 season where Niki Lauda won 5 victories and his teammate Alain Prost another 7, although the greater regularity of Lauda decided the championship in his favor by the shortest difference in history, half a point.

This publication focuses on the last McLaren driven by the great Ayrton Senna, the 1993 MP4/8, a single-seater in which, after the end of the engine supply contract by Honda in 1992, units of the Ford HB engine were mounted. Despite the loss of performance, Senna's hands led the MP4/8 to win up to 5 races in the 1993 season, finishing runner-up behind Alain Prost in his Williams.

Precious decoration commemorating Sebastien Loeb's career in the World Championship, which Citroen prepared for what was his last participation in 2013. All the numbers represent some of the figures achieved by Loeb, such as his 9 world titles or his 78 rallies won up to that date. Reji has reproduced this decoration with a complete decal sheet, with the beautiful golden tone that contrasts so well with the black of the bodywork. A unique decoration!

The 1966 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans was undoubtedly mythical, a vision reinforced in recent times by the famous movie "Ford versus Ferrari". But there were many other Ford GT40s in the race, like those that Renaissance has recreated in this decal sheet belonging to units of the Shelby American and Holman & Moody teams with numbers #3 and #6, and with drivers as relevant as Mario Andretti or Dan Gurney. The decals include the lines and logos of the Firestone tires used during the race, with different colors depending on the car. Something different!

Decal sheet to make the versions with which the team sponsored by Denver Sportwear participated in two consecutive editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the one in 1979 with the number #87 and the one in 1980 with the number #91, without being able to reach the goal in neither of the two occasions.
