For a while, a few years ago now, I was a Gran Turismo devotee on Playstation, and of all the wonderful tracks that GT3 and GT4 had to offer, the Nordschleife at Nurburgring was where I went just to relax, if I had half an hour to spare. My car of choice for just a couple of quick laps of the Nurburgring was a BMW M3. Fabulous balance, deceptive speed, forgiving and fast, the M3 Beemer has it all.
And so recently when I spotted a BMW CSL in a genuine bricks-and-mortar model car shop in Sydney (Model Cars Too, in Clarence Street in Sydney city) I immediately knew which diorama that quick older-generation Beemer was going to star in. And so, ladies and gentlemen, start your engines, we are going for a quick lap of the Nordschleife at the Nurburgring in our Beemer.
This BMW 3.0L CSL is a 1:43 model by Spark. In the background is a BMW 2002 Turbo, a Kyosho model in 1:64. |
I used to run wide just after this corner in GT4 if I wasn't careful. |
Bringing up the rear here is another Kyosho 1:64, a Porsche. |
The famous carousel had to be included, of course! |
