Authentic Collectables 1/43 Tickford Racing #55 Ford Mustang GT - 2023 OTR SuperSprint at the Bend Race 21 Pole Position. Driver: Thomas Randle (First

Description

A new era began in 2023 when Gen3 Supercars were introduced to race in the Supercars Championship.

A significant evolution from the previous Gen2 platform, the Gen3 rules implemented a raft of changes for the Ford Mustang GT Supercar in 2023, with a large focus on achieving a much closer visual connection to its road going counterpart, more controlled parts and less downforce to encourage greater racing.

Thomas Randle has been touted as a star of the future since winning the 2020 Super2 Championship. Now in his 2nd season as a full time main game driver with Tickford Racing, Randle can now add a Supercars pole position to his growing list of achievements where he topped the qualifying time sheets for Race 21 at The Bend with a lap time of 1:50.068 to edge Brodie Kostecki by +0.052s - no mean feat given Kosteckis championship caliber form across 2023.

Come race time, Randle couldn't quite turn his maiden Supercars pole into his first win, ultimately racing his bold #55 Castrol backed Mustang to finish on the podium in P2. In fact, Randle scored a hat-trick of podiums across the weekend's three races, his first podiums as a solo driver in Supercars. Not a bad weekend for Tickford and Randle fans.

This 1:43 scale model is scheduled to be produced in high quality sealed body die-cast with clear windows, detailed racing cockpit and undercarriage details unique to the Gen3 floorpan.

Comprised of roughly 65 individual metal and plastic parts plus anywhere between 50-100 steps in paint and decoration finishing, this is a high quality collectors model for fans of this scale.

It is scheduled to be produced in an exclusive one-off limited edition, presented in a display case with the model attached to a white base plate which features the car details printed on it. An individually numbered backing board featuring the edition number is also included as part of the package and acts as the Certificate of Authenticity
