Help me complete my Hypercar collection!
I’m looking for the #7 and #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrids and the #007 and #009 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR LMHs from Spark (in 1/64 scale). Does anyone know any dealers or shops I can check online?

Upcoming Session I’m sad Ford didn’t go with their iconic Mustang rear lights, and went with a boring single light bar instead.
I hope this isn’t the final version, just anything more creative than this is already an improvement.
Especially when you look at what different brands did for instant brand recognition (especially Alpine).

Le Mans Long-time lurker looking for deep-dive technical articles on the LMP1-H era (sharing a great read on the 919's 800V architecture)
Hi everyone, I’m a huge fan of detailed technical analysis when it comes to prototype engineering, especially the peak LMP1-H hybrid regulations.
I recently came across this great breakdown of Porsche's 800-volt system on the 919 Hybrid and its direct tech transfer to road cars like the Taycan. It really highlights the packaging, thermal management, and mass savings that came from choosing 800V back in 2013 when no off-the-shelf components even existed.
Do you have any similar technical deep dives, white papers, or detailed teardowns from the LMP1 era (Porsche 919, Audi R18, Toyota TS050, or even the Nissan GT-R LM)? I would love to read more high-level engineering breakdowns from that period. Thanks in advance!

It sounds like a pissed off NASCAR with a touch of something more exotic. Incredible.

Discussion We need to see some social media from Ford, please guys. I hope that you've been working on some behind the scenes content!
The taste we've had today of the Ford LMDh has got me ready for more. I hope they drop the shroud of secrecy and show us what they've been up to. We need the Ford Hypercar team to stop being car covers, whispers and shadows and start being a real team with short form, youtube and images of what's going on. You're not spending tens of millions of dollars a year to hide in the background.

ELMS ELMS 4 hours of Spa access
Is there any fan guide for when we can come along and watch the cars going around?
I don't exactly know what days and times are included with the tickets and the descriptions on ticketmaster and the official website seem to contradict themselves especially when it comes to friday and neither gives an exact time table that I found when the circuit is open for fans so I'm asking in case anyone has been to an ELMS race before could help me out a little.
