While the 911 2.4S had great success in the newly launched European GT Championship of 1972, in the face of increasingly strong competition from Ferrari and DeTomaso, Porsche made the decision to develop a new car for the following year to maintain its dominance in long-distance GT racing. The goal was to race in 2,500-3,000cc Group 4 GT class, necessitating the German marque to develop a new engine with more power to compete. 500 identical 911 specials were required for Group 4 homologation so, to meet this, Porsche produced the 2.7 litre Carrera RS.

With wide wheel arches, a unique ducktail spoiler, and a highly tuned flat-six engine, the Carrera 2.7 RS was absolutely brilliant to drive. At the time, the 2.7 litre power unit was the largest engine available on a Porsche and was good for 210 bhp at 6300 rpm. But, whilst the 2.7 RS was a great road car, Porsche wanted to go racing, so they used it as a platform to develop an all-out racing model, the 2.8 litre RSR (Renn Sport Rennen). These were not simply converted street cars, they were developed strictly for competition use, and were designed and built from the ground up for serious racing use, incorporating every conceivable improvement allowed by the FIA rule book.

Of the 1,580 RS cars built, 55 became the RSR 2.8 race cars, their body shells taken from the production line even before the engines and transmissions had been fitted and moved them to Porsche’s racing shop ‘Werk 1’ for a complete re-engineering exercise. Massive fender flares, a lower suspension, central oil-cooler air intake, and ultra-wide Fuchs wheels were added, giving the car a much more aggressive look, whilst the brakes were based on components used in the successful 917. Weight-saving was a major focus, to the point that all the rubber was removed from the suspension joints and the cockpit was bare, and Porsche was able to cut almost 80kg (176lbs) from the already light standard RS Lightweight, despite also strengthening the chassis. At the heart of the RSR was its enlarged race engine. Porsche’s goal was to get as close as they could to the three-litre class limit engine size, and the engineers’ efforts generated an increase from the 210 bhp of the RS to over 300 bhp, allowing the RSR to sprint from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in just four seconds. These purpose-built race cars were not cheap, however. Porsche listed them at 59,000 Deutschmarks, which was essentially another Porsche more expensive than the standard road-going 2.7 RS. The 55 examples were mostly most sold to private racing teams.

The RSR stood as the lightest, fastest, most powerful and most agile 911 ever to enter GT racing, and the model immediately proved its worth, winning the first round of the 1973 Work Championship for Makes. It then followed up by capturing wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring and Targa Florio. The RSR claimed three international and seven national championships in 1973 alone, including six of nine rounds in the European GT Championship. The Porsche 911 RSR 2.8’s phenomenal record began a true and enduring legend in GT endurance racing.

This fine 1:18 scale model is a perfect recreation of the 1973 Porsche 911 RSR 2.8 chassis 911.360.0328 as raced to victory by Hurley Haywood and Peter Gregg in the 24 Hours of Daytona at the Daytona International Speedway on February 3rd and 4th 1973. The Brumos Racing #59, and its sister car, the Penske Racing #6, were effectively prototypes, the first 911 RS bodies underpinned by an experimental RSR engine, gearbox and suspension being tested by Singer and Porsche before rolling it out to the rest of the teams. The car was not yet homologated by the FIA and so ran in the prototype class, with no expectation to emerge victorious against their dedicated single-seater rivals. In fact, the priority from the management was not to damage the cars, to ensure proper analysis and testing after the race.

Despite this, the car was quick and, more importantly, incredibly reliable. In fact, the #59 spent only 24 minutes in the pits across the entire 24 hours of competition, a sheer testament to its robustness and the hardiness of its driver pairing. As one by one, their rivals fell, including the #6 Penske sister car which retired 405 laps in after a flywheel came undone, the #59 pressed on. A scare occurred when the car hit a seagull down the main straight but, through clever use of the team’s new radio communications, Haywood was instructed to stay out while the engineers sourced a replacement windscreen, one that was eventually found on a 911 in the car park. From there on, it was smoother sailing and Haywood and Gregg clinched their first victory at Daytona, 32 laps ahead of the nearest competition. Gregg would later be the second man to achieve four wins at Daytona, whilst Haywood would become the first taste victory there five times, a record still standing today.

This model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using archive imagery, detailed colour and material specifications supplied with the assistance of Porsche AG and the Porsche Museum. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams at Porsche to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat
