Newsletter 624: Despite the heat... we go on!July 17^th, 2024

Decalcas is already preparing the arrival of the Nunu model of the Porsche 911 991 GT3, with some of its most spectacular decorations. This reference reproduces the two units of the official Porsche team that participated in the 2019 12 Hours of Sebring, with a decoration that pays tribute to all the vehicles used by the Brumos team, present in American competitions for more than 50 years. And with a very special detail, since the famous blue and red stripes are made up entirely of #59 numbers, also as a tribute to Peter Gregg, co-owner of Brumos, who made this number famous in the American world of racing, achieving a total of 41 victories in the IMSA championship at the wheel of their Porsches with the number 59. Double tribute!

If we were already impatient for the arrival of the Porsche 991 GT3 kit, now even more so. We love this decoration, which is also exclusive because it was only used once! And it is that it has become common for the Porsche team to use some commemorative decoration on the occasion of the last round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship, as in this case. This version recalls the successes of Bob Akin, with his famous red Porsche 935 and 962 with the white letters of Coca-Cola (Coke), and what better place than the Petit LeMans event in Road Atlanta, the city where Coca-Cola itself is based. We know that Decalcas has carried out a complete investigation to faithfully recreate this beautiful decoration on a decal sheet. Definitely one of our favourites!
