About the Audi R8 LMS #98 Team Phoenix Racing M. Basseng / F. Stippler / J. Stuck / M. Rockenfeller 24 Hours Nurburgring 2010 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Audi R8 LMS #98 recreates Team Phoenix Racing's 2010 24 Hours Nurburgring entry, driven by Basseng, Stippler, Stuck, and Rockenfeller. A compact GT3 model with a strong driver lineup, suited to a Nordschleife endurance collection.
The R8 LMS marked Audi's serious entry into customer GT3 racing, and Phoenix Racing's 2010 Nurburgring lineup gave the program instant credibility on its home event.
Early R8 LMS Livery Detail
The R8 LMS's wide rear wing and pronounced side blades give the casting real visual presence even at 1:43, and Minichamps keeps those elements proportionate to the road car's already dramatic silhouette. The #98 Phoenix Racing livery's factory-applied graphics hold sharp definition on the doors and rear deck, and checking the roundel edges is the quickest way to judge print quality on a model like this. Zinc-alloy construction gives the small casting real heft, consistent across Minichamps' N24-focused GT3 range.
A Strong Driver Lineup in Miniature
Four established GT and touring car names shared this entry, and that kind of driver-strength detail gives the model added context for collectors who follow specific competitors as much as specific cars. Displayed alongside other early R8 LMS entries or other manufacturers' GT3 machinery from the same Nurburgring event, it helps recreate the competitive picture of Audi's early customer racing program taking shape.
