Incredible (on the 97t).

Its all news to me, but distributing to brazil and portugal only, hints that the whole process is led by the magazines. Portuguese language with no translation, so the model is beached.

Epic fail.

There are some videos on YouTube of the build, but they are in Portuguese. It’s the Lotus from his first victory. Has rain tires. I will eventually get the rest.

It is my assumption that once they complete a territory, they open it up to others. We’ll see. I can’t imaging that it will stay under those two only. Senna was too global a superstar for that. I’ll post some pics next week.

I'm not so sure about that. There doesn't seem to be any "master plan" behind the marketing of these models in fact it all seems very haphazard.

It appears that the Lotus 97t will not be completely released until December 2023 so it would seem you need to make arrangements with someone in Brazil or Portugal to subscribe, on your behalf, to secure the remaining parts packs.

I have a few friends in Brazil, so I think I can make that happen. I really hate the subscriptions. I used to buy them. Now if I want something, I just wait until the end of the run. I almost got burned in month 16 of 24 on a Rossi 1/4 bike. They stopped shipping for 7 months without a word. I was able to get all 16 months back from my card issuer and the very next day month 17 showed up. I could not believe it. I finished it up and never bought a sub again.
