Sounds great. Do 924.org members get a discount when it goes on sale? Will it be an Amazon only distribution?

Does it list the original factory delivered spec to each of the CGT/GTS/GTR chassis numbers as per Carrera RS by Gruber & Konradsheim?? Would love to see how the GTS's were delivered versus the Clubsport version. Almost every GTS you see for sale or in magazines etc. are listed as 'Clubsports'.

How much technical detail did you go into?

Is it just a story book on the race cars and which races they enjoyed?

How many copies are being printed?

Either way I'm sure its going to be bought for the collection.
