About the Audi R8 LMS #99 F. Biela / P. Kaffer / M. Fässler / M. Hennerici Phoenix Racing 24 Hours Nürburgring 2009 Spark 1:18
TL;DR: Spark's 1:18 resin Audi R8 LMS #99 reproduces Phoenix Racing's livery from the 2009 24 Hours of Nurburgring, the race in which the R8 LMS made its competitive debut and won overall. This sealed-body resin captures the GT3 car that launched Audi's customer racing program.
Winning overall on a car's first race weekend is a rare feat, and the R8 LMS's Nurburgring debut in 2009 remains one of GT3 racing's more remarkable opening chapters.
Spark's Resin Precision on a Debut-Winning GT3 Car
Spark built its reputation producing large numbers of endurance racing liveries in resin, chasing accuracy across an entire season or event rather than a single flagship car, and this Nurburgring-winning R8 LMS receives that same treatment. The sealed resin body captures the R8's aggressive front splitter and rear wing with sharper shut lines than a diecast alternative would allow, since there are no opening panels to interrupt the aerodynamic surfaces. The Phoenix Racing livery's sponsor graphics and number panel are applied with the fine tampo precision Spark's endurance racing catalog is known for across its extensive range.
The R8 LMS's Debut and Audi's Customer Racing Program
Audi built the R8 LMS as its entry into GT3 customer racing, and the car's competitive debut at the 2009 Nurburgring 24 Hours, driven by Frank Biela, Peter Kaffer, Marcel Fässler, and Marco Hennerici for Phoenix Racing, ended in an overall win, a result that immediately established the car's credibility. For a collector focused on GT3 racing history, this livery marks the starting point of what became one of the most successful customer racing programs in modern motorsport, making it a foundational piece rather than just another season entry.
