Pick of the week

If you are an IMSA fan, and you love the GTD class for GT3 cars, you’ll want this Turner Motorsport BMW M6. Made by Minichamps especially for Turner, it was driven by Jens Klingman and Bret Curtis at Circuit of the Americas and the rest of the 2016 season. It finished 6th overall in that season. It’s a limited edition of 402 pieces. Available only from Turner Motorsport on their website.
