New Releases and BBR announcements.

The Michael Schumacher F2004 Career Records model has been released. Here's a photo to prove it. Quality doesn't look too bad for a Hot Wheels model but we really need some close up images of the engine detail to make an accurate assessment.



Also BBR have confirmed their line up for the F2007 1/43 Serie Oro Series. GP France, GB Britain, GP Belgium, GP Brazil versions and Schumacher F2007 test car will all be produced. In the Exlcusive Series EX24 1/43 Ferrari F430 Scuderia and Ferrari F2007 new F1 2007 colour Ferrari Stand at the “Motor Show Bologna 2007” will be released in the next few months.
