Well, some of the models are hard to find ($$$) ... we may need to run a few duplicates.

My livery includes:
27473 Carrera Audi A5 Schaeffler, M.Rockenfeller #1
27499 Carrera BMW M4 M.Wittmann, #23

SOURCES:
-Professor Motor has the analog cars (274xx part numbers) for $32.// my source
-CarerraSlots (the usa dealer) also has analogs for $32. Digital cars (306xx part #s) come with a chip you can ebay for $25; some of the vendors sell them for $45.
-ElectricDreams must be smoking something because their analog DTMs are $90, and the digital versions are $55. If you see a DTM for $36 at E/D, it is 1/43 scale.

Mark,

You do realize that the Shapeways chassis is for the BMW M3 DTM and not the M4, right?

I also just picked up Carrera #27476 Mercerdes "Stihl" as the BMW I got is almost too pretty to race.

Shawn - thanks for the warning. I just checked my Shapeways ST02-ST2 chassis and confirmed you are correct it does Not fit the BMW-M4 Car27499/30661 #23 Wittmann Exide White.

QUESTIONS REGARDING THE DTM SERIES
1. '10 Lap Penalty' for missing wing if not replaced during race. Are we enforcing that rule  more consistently than last year?

2. Body Rules.
The 4-post configuration of the Carerra bodies allows virtually zero float; even tho the 3D chassis does not have the post-cups like the original pans do, some shaving or rounding of the posts may be useful to encourage some float. Also - after someone has built out at least a mule, we may need to revisit the body rules JIC there are odd pieces that interfere with smooth body mounting, front tire clearance, etc. Hopefully a few people will have some DTM's they are testing by spring so we can get some feedback on any tricky issues with the bodies or pans.

3. Wheels & Tires
Don't 17x10 rear wheels work better (tighter) for the F30s, as compared to rather skinny 17x8s?

I will have my Merc Stihl DTM car this Saturday for people to look over.

As we use these on 15x8 Grp C wheels, I don't see how the 17x8 wheels would pose a problem.
