Just passing along what I saw on a pre-order form from Greenlight for 2006 editions: (release dates unknown)

AGR - all five cars (includes Micheal)
Gnassi - both cars
Fernandez - both cars
Penske - both cars
Foyt - Giaffone

Pace Cars 1:18
1971 Dodge Challenger convertible
1986 Chevrolet Corvette
1989 Pontiac Trans Am

Apparently I didn't remember what I thought I saw.

No Fernandez cars, etc.

It's time to skip a couple of years when the Gnassi cars & numbers don't change much. I'm sure a true die cast collector would notice the subtle differences. Would sure be nice to be able to get the new Orange Panther car, Little Al's red, white & blue Geico entry, and Schekter's Vision entry. I am more intrigued by the different paint jobs then collecting for a particular driver or team combination.

Am I the only one thinking 'diorama' here?

But where are you gonna find all those flying photographer figures?

There are photographers in one of the Tamiya pit crew kits. I think 1/20 scale is close enough to 1/18.

BTW, my friend Steve Mohlenkamp built a diorama of Ayrton Senna being surrounded by a crowd of people after winning a race - probably used 50-60 figures from those Tamiya kits, left everybody white except Senna and his car - quite a work of art!
